The Promise is finally available on a 7” single.
More info here.
wo hört Stefan Brändl in der neuen single “schroffe gitarrenriffs”. ich höre hauptsächlich streicher, synths und schlagzeugcomputer aus den 1980ern. ich hoffe nur, dass der rest des albums - nach den letzen beiden fürchterlichen pop alben - wieder mehr in richtung rock tendiert.
Springsteen 21st Century
Tried to create a kind of a “Best Of” playlist of Springsteen’s 21st century albums. But from his five studio albums only 13 songs made it on the list:
Nothing Man
Empty Sky
Worlds Apart
Further On (Up The Road)
The Fuse
Paradise
Devils & Dust
All The Way Home
Long Time Comin’
Leah
O Mary Don’t You Weep
Long Walk Home
The Wrestler
To my suprise I rediscovered “The Rising” and “Devils & Dust”. Six songs from the post 9/11 album and four from the second - almostly acoustic - album made it on the list. The last three songs are form the last three albums… enough said ;)
But there were two remarkable bonus tracks:
The Ghost of Tom Joad /w Tom Morello
How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live
and
the live document “Live In Dublin” which shows the exceptional quality of Springsteen - Live Music!
Hopes had been high that the new album will get him back on rock and not pop, but…
So let’s wait for great shows Furthern On Up The Road.
