Reviews

One of Bruce's best albums in spite of its obvious production issues. Magic is long overdue for a new mix. -
Edited 2 years agoSuch an ordinary pressing of a great Springsteen LP. Not the normal hard rock you get from him, more commercially inclined. But the sound is so ordinary, sounds like they recorded, mixed and pressed it in the toilet.
-
I don't get the hate or non-enthusiasm for this album. Its one of Bruce's best song writing wise. The vinyl version sounds great, though its not a super awesome A+ cut, but its definitely not terrible for the ears and quite. -
I dunno everyone says this sounds good but its kinda flat sounding to me. No pounding drums or bass like on my cd copy. This is kinda average when i wanna hear this album im just gonna listen to the cd -
Edited 5 years agoFirs U.S. pressing, brand new album that came warped and dirty, with noticeable marks on both sides that did not go away after cleaning the record twice. In addition to that, lots of surface noise that are specially bothering in the song 'Magic.' Finally, I have not put this to a scale, but I highly doubt this is 180 gram vinyl as the hype sticker claims.
Other than these pressing quality defects, the album is good/very good, and I can hear already some of the musical trends Bruce's music did take in the future, trends that, as a long time Bruce fan, I do not particularly like. This is very notable in a song like 'I'll Work for Your Love' (it reminds so much to the 'Working on a Dream'). This is the last E Street Album with Danny Federici on keyboards.
My copy also has 'Terry's Song' at the end. I believe it should be added to the release.
P.S.: BTW, I bought this album when it came out, and I was checking my order details from AZ, and I paid $13.28. This is how 'cheap' new albums were at the time (2007), when barely anybody was buying vinyl records. -
NB: My copy does have 'Terry's Song' at the end, unlisted. Have not amended release as don't know if this is standard or whether two versions of the LP may exist.
