I'm not a longtime Springsteen fan, I wanted to anticipate. Is also not possible, since I am only 16 years old :-) Apart from the well-known songs, such as "Born in the USA", "Lucky Town", "Philadelphia" and so I knew his songs do not, but I found "The Rising," the first Sigle this album so great that I I just bought the album must habe.Ich say I'm thrilled! Each song is very typical Bruce, but each song has a different, I'll call it "aftertaste". All songs were written after September 11, and was thus strongly influenced according Springsteen. Knowing this, the texts go a very heavily on the soul, probably more than intended. I find it amazing how Bruce and the E Street Band have managed to produce despite the gloomy undertone in the texts, such a Power album. Namely, it is still full of power songs with violent guitars and also with a lot of hope and joy. Conclusion: Buy, buy, buy! For all longtime Springsteen fans there is no question, this album must-have, but also for people who can not get anything more all over the world and today's pop times genuine, good rock music want to hear!
