The other commonality that these voices share is the determination that life, however fraught with tragedy and confusion, is precious and should be lived as such. This is a lot for a rock album by a popular artist to claim, but perhaps it's the only thing there is worth anything.On this reunion with the E Street Band, Bruce Springsteen offers 15 meditations -- in grand rock & roll style -- on his own way of making sense of the senseless. The band is in fine form, though with Brendan O'Brien's uncanny production, they play with an urgency and rawness they've seldom shown. This may not have been the ideal occasion for a reunion after 15 years, but it's one they got, and they go for broke. The individual tracks offer various glimpses of loss, confusion, hope, faith, resolve, and a good will that can only be shown by those who have been tested by fire. The music and production is messy, greasy; a lot of the mixes bleed tracks onto one another, giving it a more homemade feel than any previous E Street Band outing. And yes, that's a very good thing.The set opens with "Lonesome Day," a midtempo rocker with country-ish roots. Springsteen's protagonist admits to his or her shortcomings in caring for the ...

Bruce Springsteen - The Rising
Created: 07/03/09
) If I had to choose one record or artist that summed up America post 9/11, it would be The Rising by Bruce Springsteen. America and Americans experienced a wide range of emotions, anger, fear, astonishment, fear and eventually hope. Bruce manages to capture all with this album. He reaches a bit to the past and clings to the hope of the future.
1. The album open with Lonesome Day which echos the simple and direct wisdom of Born in the U.S.A.
2. Into the Fire with lines like "The sky was falling in the streets like blood" make a clear connection to 9/11 and the hope and pride we all felt after 9/11 and all the "heros" who rose up to reach out to those in need.
3. Waiting on a Sunny Day a song about hope brings the tempo up and sounds like a summer song which preceeds the darker
4. Nothing Man a more introspective song dealing with the average man becoming a reluctant hero.
5. Counting on a Miracle is self explanitory. Who doesn't pray for a miracle now and then?
6. Empty Sky deals with anger and loss and and the hollow feeling of looking at the space where the towers used to be.
7. Worlds apart starts with, dare I say an Arabic beat and chant. What do we really know about the attackers and the hate they feel toward the US and its policies? A haunting song questioning what we don't know.
8. As we pass the midway point Skin to Skin echos a yearning to become friends, no time like the present.
9. Further On is about just that. This may not be the time.....maybe later.
10. The Fuse, again a darker and deliberate song declares we should be ready, something is going to happen. We anticipate it, maybe it is the songs he just wrote, bittersweet and with purpose, or maybe a metaphore. Either way Bruce knows that the post 9/11 world is or will be bitter sweet for some time as is with all loss.
11. However reaching for faith can be a rocky road. Buddah, God, Mother Mary. Meet me at Mary's Place is where Bruce runs, to be with the people he loves. Don't we all need a Mary's Place?
12. Yet the morning after the party we find they are still gone and You're Missing a brooding and sad song is about all the things that don't change after some one has left us. More specifically all the things that become extra-ordinary when someone is gone. The whole of the world is the same except those who are left behind.
13. The Rising brings us full circle to the hope we all need to "rise up" and move on. Perfect timing as even now we need a bit of "rising".
14. The interesting thing about "Paradise" the albums second to last song is its placement. Sandwiched between the albums two most hopeful songs. Paradise is haunting, acoustic, moody and is almost a prayer. Solem, lonely and dreamlike.
15. And finally My City Of Ruins. Arguablly the albums most hopeful song. Gospel, folk, soul roll out like a velvet invitation, a call to arms asking us all to "Rise Up" and rebuild our City Of Ruins. This song exemplifies the optimism of Bruce and the way he has choose to deal with 9/11.
As you listen to the album you find yourself relating with the honest and direct message. Exactly what Bruce does best. Everyone can relate with what Bruce has gone through, we just aren't as eloquent. Bruce challenges us to move past the anger and onto hope and forgiveness. Many people may find the album a bit too raw after 9/11, too fresh from the wound. Yet with time, the album can be a source of healing. At least is was for me

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Springsteen Rising

) Springsteen has written personal songs that have a darker side if not in lyrics then in the musical sound. Creative and staying within a limited boundary. Would have liked to have heard some of the songs stripped down in arangement. Would have liked more up tempo rocking on a few. His voice is good and strong. I write Christian/rock and use several artist to compare what i am doing with writing and the tracking and the mix. See UR1 ............

It's The Boss, what else is there to say? The album is as timless as any of his others. It is heartfelt, honest, and has the same familiar rock-n-roll sounds Bruce always had.
