This album polarized - very clear. But D & D is for me one of the best albums that Springsteen wrote. I like the boss when he rocks and I like him especially when he tells stories. Stories he tells on the new album, stories with bite, with depth and with heart. Many of the negative critics call "The Boss fans" and boast of their gapless Springsteen collection. But this, unfortunately, have grasped nothing of Springsteen. For all the quiet, honest music do if Springsteen fan or not, this disc is a must. Entlich again something other than the usual hip hop / Spears / and the same mainstream scrap.
