Springsteen VI ~ A Dream Awaits in Aisle Two

[LemonMelon]

Not having ever seen Bruce before, I agree with that.

That stage is going to look empty without Clarence on it, but maybe I won't notice.

 

[Aardvark747]

I am sorted for the Hyde Park show in the summer. Wish there was an indoor gig in London though. Looking forward to the new album.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Single drops tomorrow... "we take care of our own"

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Tom Morello also appears on the new album

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Whoa.

 

[corianderstem]

FUCK YEAH!

clf

 

[phanan]

Interesting song title and artwork. You just might get some new rockers after all, Martha.

 

[Pop Artist]

I knew album and tour would be happening, but the shows are much more imminent than I thought!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm crazy excited for this album now. Love the cover, love the title. Let's go.

 

[LemonMelon]

Angry Bruce is cool by me. We got happy, contented Bruce last time and it blew.

Fuck yes. I was at the Anaheim show when Tom Morello destroyed the place.

Angry Bruce is cool by me. We got happy, contented Bruce last time and it blew.

Word.

 

[bono_212]

Why...what's this...am I...a little excited?

How about Angry Bruce with "hip hop rhythms" and loops?

I'm reserving judgement until I hear for myself how much it sucks.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ahhh, shit.

I got way ahead of myself and assumed that what headache posted was the album cover, and that the single released tomorrow was the title track off of the album.

Apparently the song is just called "We Take Care Of Our Own" and there has been no official album title or album cover announcement yet? Damn. I feel silly.

Just read an article that said the album might be called Wrecking Ball. Does anybody know anything about this?

 

[corianderstem]

Emmylou is not amused.

Nah, I haven't heard anything about it. that's just what I think of when I hear "wrecking ball." Pick something not already aligned with an amazing album, Bruce!

 

[bono_212]

I remembered something about Bruce in connection with "Wrecking Ball", but couldn't pinpoint what it was. Google search turns up it being a new song he was playing in 2009.

 

[phanan]

He debuted Wrecking Ball live on the last tour. That looks to be the album name - the artwork has supposedly shown up:

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Nah, I haven't heard anything about it. that's just what I think of when I hear "wrecking ball." Pick something not already aligned with an amazing album, Bruce!

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

It could be kind of a nod to Emmylou, though. Sort of a winking thing, saying "you made this awesome album decades into your career called Wrecking Ball, and I will too."

I'm sure he's keenly aware of the Emmylou album. Also, I just saw that piece of information on some random article that came up on Google, so it could be complete bullshit.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh, man.

I like the single artwork a lot better. Damn.

 

[phanan]

And now the track listing has shown up over in Europe, with a couple of tracks we will all recognize. Looks like a 3/5 release date for Europe, so 3/6 for the U.S. most likely.

1. We Take Care of Our Own
2. Easy Money
3. Shackled and Drawn
4. Jack of All Trades
5. Death To My Hometown
6. This Depression
7. Wrecking Ball
8. You’ve Got It
9. Rocky Ground
10. Land of Hope and Dreams
11. We Are Alive
12. Swallowed Up (Bonus track)
13. American Land (Bonus track)

I approve of naming the album after a song dedicated to Giants Stadium.

 

[lazarus]

Nice to see Bruce using "land" in two titles, and "hometown" in another. It's like "colors" and "kneel" for Boner.

Also, "Death To My Hometown" sounds a little too close to "My City of Ruins".

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Wrecking Ball, Land of Hope and Dreams and American Land?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Rhyming "ball" with "balls"?

C'mon, Bruce, you can do better than that. I like the song, though. Thanks for posting. I hadn't heard that before.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

He premiered it, and shot that video, at the first show on the final Giants Stadium run. I was there

 

[lazarus]

That's a great song, Headache.

 

[phanan]

New single anyone?

[GirlsAloudFan]

Holy shit. I'm overwhelmed with new Bruce stuff right now. I need to take a cold shower or something.

Album title, album cover, track list, and lead single all pop up in the span of like 20 minutes? I feel like that doesn't usually happen.

Emmylou is not amused.

Neil Young wrote the title track anyway.
