Springsteen "Working on a Dream"

[LukeA]

I'm a huge Springsteen fan. This album is really, really bad. His worst album since "Lucky Town", and possibly his worst ever. There's only a few songs that I could say I actually like ("Good Eye", and I enjoy the sentiment behind "The Last Carnival". "My Lucky Day" should have been the lead single instead of the title track)

"Outlaw Pete" is 8 minutes of Kiss/"I Was Made For Lovin' You" crossed with Lynn Anderson/"I Never Promised You a Rose Garden"- what a way to start an album . "Queen Of The Supermarket" is an out-and-out embarrassment.

Say what you want about the political themes of the songs on "Magic", but the songs themselves just work a whole lot better.
