Springsteen: Working on a Dream, especially if you are an audiophile with a great system.

You are making a joke, correct? Both that and Magic have terrible sonics. I sort of like them on my iPod, but awful at home. And I like Bruce.

Regards,

Just picked up u2's no line on the horizon. Exquisite.
This from U2 and Bono non fan.

Oh yes, Dan Auerbach's Keep it hid is worth noting too.

I will echo terrible sonics on Springsteen's latest CD. Big letdown.

Ditto new U2. The Eno sections take you right back to Tiger Mountain & Warm Jets. The Lanois pieces amp-up the delicacy of early albums like Beauty of Wynona through U2 power pop. One of the strongest collaborations since George Martin & B; praise to U2 for having the modesty to open wide for these two great co-writers/producers.
