Music reviews of Working on a Dream
Music Review: Dream Scape
Rating: 4 Stars
Bruce Springsteen's Working On A Dream is the follow-up to his 2007 release Magic. Whereas Magic had dark overtones and a sense of dread, Working On A Dream is a more optimistic album, although sadness does creep in from time to time. The album's opener is an exercise in sonic bombast, the spaghetti western styled "Outlaw Pete". The song is one of the better sounding efforts on the album, but the lyrics are a little over the top. "My Lucky Day" is classic Springsteen with a driving guitar base that wouldn't sound out of place on The River or Darkness. The title track is a homage to President Obama and is so likeable and earnest that you can forgive the silly whistling break in the middle of the song. "Queen of the Supermarket" has a nice sound, but may go down as having the worst lyrics to any song in Mr. Springtseen's vast catalog. "What Can Love Do" is a solid rocker while "The Life" evokes memories of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds with its layered textures. "Good Eye" is a strange blues inspired song that finds Mr. Springsteen utilizing a voice distorter that he used on the live version of "Reason To Believe" on the Magic tour. While that was extremely effective in concert, it just sounds odd on this song. He rounds nicely on the lovely "Tomorrow Never Knows" which has a pretty shuffling beat. "Life Itself" and "Kingdom Of Days are two, more or less, by the numbers songs that are good, just not great. "Surprise, Surprise" is a straight up Wall of Sound production with a swirling, layered sound scape that explodes out of your speakers. "The Last Carnival" is a moving tribute to the late Danny Federici that Mr. Springsteen sings with true feeling. The album closes with "The Wrestler" a song Mr. Springsteen wrote for the movie of the same name. It is a sparse, mostly acoustic number with lyrics that perfectly capture the essence of the film. It is the best song on the album and one of his best of the decade.
