We've moved.....

to Facebook.
But for those who can't get there during the day, I just posted my review of the new record. Here it is.......

drum roll please.......I know this is what you all have been waiting for. Here's my take after spinning this a few times and watching the DVD.


Outlaw Pete - people keep calling this "epic". If by epic they mean long then ok. Pete (Di Sturco that is) mentioned something about part of it sounding like Incident at some point. I don't hear that but really I get bored with this a drift away and I'm in another time zone by the time it's over.

My Lucky Day - while lyrically weak I like this one. A good rocker. I dig that.

Working on a Dream - Bruce Springsteen NEVER whistle on a record again. Ever. Like never. Didn't like this one when he was stumping and still don't care for it. It's the "Living in the Future" of this record. AKA a bathroom break.

Q of the S - you mean to tell me he played this for Steve and Steve didn't fall on the floor laughing? PLEASE NEVER PLAY THIS LIVE!

What Love Can Do - excellent straight forward rocker. We can't change the world but that's ok because my love will not let you down, so to speak.

This Life - it's that GITSC voice which I don't love. I know that "Girls" was really popular last time out with many folks but not me. Actually live the only time I really enjoyed it was in Giants Stadium. It seemed to fit there some how. I know I'm in the minority on that one but I'm ok out here on my own. This Life .. to fluffy for me. I'll pass on this one.

Good Eye - the bullet mic lives. I like it here. I liked it on Reason to Believe last time out. But I think after this i'm totally over it. He can retire the bullet mic now. Thank you.

Tomorrow Never Knows - the lead in to the country cross over record of his future. What's that thing called that you pull back and let it vibrate? Like a saw kinda thing? That's what I hear. I don't feel one way or the other about this song. It just is.

Life Itself - I liked this one from the first spin. Good guitar work that could really come to life in a live setting.

Kingdom of Days - for me this one is the highlight yet I don't like the sound of it if that makes any sense. Totally overlayed with junk it doesn't need. Watch the dvd - Roy plays his heart out on this song and frankly I can't hear him on the record. Lyrically beautiful - a loving tribute to one's better half at the best time of their lives. Not bad.

Surprise, Surprise - all I can think of is that dweeb from Andy Griffith or something. Well surprise surprise surprise. I know what the song is trying to be but this isn't the 60's and Bruce isn't the Byrds. It doesn't work for me.

The Last Carnival - what do you have to say about it? Listen to the song, watch the video .... if you aren't moved you're DEAD!

I will forego comment on the Bonus tracks other than to say I love them both but that's a whole other chapter and some times I just dont' get bonus tracks. The real album ends then a BIG pause and OH here's another thing. Whatever. Glad to have the tunes and btw Bruce got screwed out of an Oscar! Hahahahahaha

So...should I forward this on to JLM ?
