With such a strong album of the Boss and the E-Street Band I've honestly no longer expected. I feel in the truest sense in the 70 / 80s set back; the positives. Here the full range of real top Bruce Springsteen songs is shown pretty much, all have to albums like "Born in the USA", "Tunnel Of Love", in other words on the big Springsteen albums can be found. In "Magic" one gets the impression felt that this album was made with joy and passion; one has reflects on the strengths of the past. No ... Innovative is a course not offered here; the demands and wants but no one of Bruce Springsteen hears; Bruce is Bruce. This is music for everyday life ... the special day ... the deliberate day ... sunny day ... the rainy day; short ... for every day. "Magic" is fun, can revive memories, gives comfort and gives courage. More can not be expected from one album. As already written ... a top album, which I had absolutely no longer expected. The Boss and his band quietly know to rock.
A very detailed and highly recommended review should be read in one of my pre-Rezendenten (T-ELK); nothing more to add.
