March 3, 201213 yr I have avoided the leaks and even not watched Jimmy Fallon until I got my hands on the album. It arrived this morning (got to love Play.com) and it is fantastic - best thing he's done for 10 years This isn't on the album though :P Click here for a laugh
March 5, 201213 yr I'm looking forward to buying this album, ive been a massive Springsteen fan for a number of years. A genuine working class hero. This album should go number one on Sunday hopefully. :dance:
March 8, 201213 yr Author It's a rather strong album I must say. Probably his most accessable one in quite some time. 'Rocky Ground' and 'We Take Care' are my highlights of the set so far.
May 2, 201213 yr Those are really good songs.I must have been listening to this around the time you were posting !The first single sounds good.
July 16, 201212 yr I Love this Album. I went to see Bruce at Hyde Park on saturday and he was fantastic. He sang a few songs the Album :yahoo:

November 21, 201212 yr Every time I hear We Take Care Of Our Own (which is a LOT, at work), I can't help but think it's a Lightning Seeds song, until his vocals come in!
November 21, 201212 yr Author Every time I hear We Take Care Of Our Own (which is a LOT, at work), I can't help but think it's a Lightning Seeds song, until his vocals come in! Really? I think that introduction is unmistakably Springsteen-esque. On a tangical note, I'm in the middle of compiling my list of the top 10 Springsteen-esque songs of 2012, which are the songs that most lovingly rip-off/homage Bruce Springsteen this year. So far, I've got entries from The Killers, Japandroids, Strange Boats, Lord Huron and, umm, Keane.

November 21, 201212 yr Author Yes, Handwritten by Gaslight Anthem does fit the bill. Here are some of the contenders: Keane - On the Road. The chorus is pure Springsteen, while the synth bit at 2:08 would have made a great guitar solo. If I had the talent, I would re-record this track to make it ultimately Springsteen-y KppAzdztrlM Strange Boats - Boys Walk Faster than Girls. This song has been played heavily on Irish radio, yet the guys didn't realise the intro sounded like a famous Springsteen song until I pointed it out to them. JcGrV5wEajc Japandroids - The House that Heaven Built Vocally, this is very Springsteen-esque. YqaEQTi3rew And Runaways by The Killers goes without saying.
