Summary: Bruce needs to take some happy pills
Comment: This is the absolute worst CD I have ever encountered. It really seems like everyone forgot how good he was before, and just gave him credit for this disaster based on all the hype about it. People, this is not even close to a fair CD. There is a constant "drone" throughout this entire CD and there is not one good song on here. Every song sounds the same and like a depressed middle-aged man is singing the songs. Really listen to this one or borrow it before you spend the money on it. I would give him another chance, but this one sucked!

Summary: Nice songs, horrible recording
Comment: First of all, the songs on this album are strong and very good. But the production of the 'sound', and mastering is horrible. All instruments have the same volume, no dynamics.. I got bored after the second song.
This cd is only enjoyable in the car, or on a Ipod..
Customer Rating:
Summary: Horrible Sound Quality
Comment: First of all this is a great record musically. Unfortunately, as other reviewers have noted, the sound quality is horrendous. How a recording engineer can put his name on the credits of this is beyond me. I read a review recently that this same recording engineer admitted the compressed sound was not great, but not bad either. His hearing must be in really bad shape. Unless musicians stand up and protest such travesties of their recordings, we will continually be subjected to this.. Luckily, Neil Young and Bob Dylan are examples of artists who care about both the musicality and sound quality of their recordings and have set great examples with recent releases. Please let the recording industry know and more importantly, the artists, that consumers want to hear good sound in addition to good music...

Summary: Bruce and Magic
Comment: Bought the CD for my husband who loves it, and he has a lot of Bruce.
I have downloaded it to my Ipod and have started to listen to it. Some really fine songs on it, but I have not played enough to give a more detailed review. If hubby is happy, it was well worth the purchase!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best album of 2007, for sure.
Comment: I have been waiting for a release for Bruce that would sit well with me. This one is it. Radio Nowhere, Girls in their Summer Clothes, Last to Die are a few of my favorites, totally ear candy. Great political themes, and Bruce still has it and will continue to, because he is the boss.
I do have to admit the production of this cd is a bit overboard, all the instruments have the same loudness...which is a bit odd, but who cares, it's still Bruce! Awesome and a must buy.
