[CRAZY-HORSE]

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN "magic" cd,2007.

im a bit surprised by the lower than expected score i gave this one below...thought it would come out better than it did, guess its now my least favourite Boss album..
i just found the music and vocals to be less than inspiring and only the lyrics got this one through as a "like" album this time, really hasnt stood up well over time IMO, too much of a muchness sound for me.
this one did hit the magic one million sales mark in the US and the opening track "radio nowhere" did score The Boss two Grammy's in 2008 for "best rock song" and "best male vocal"....then the following year when "girls in their summer clothes" was released as a single that too gave him a Grammy for "best rock song"...
i just find this one very very average for his talent,guess he had an off-year with the death of one of the E-Street Band during the recording of this one(cant recall which one though?).
all up though, an okay album, but not one to start your collection and interest in the legend that is Bruce Springsteen
