review of Bruce's new album

I've only heard a few snippets so far. The review seems accurate enough, (until I've digested the whole album). I'm not sure I'm onboard that all of Springsteen's lyrics have to be profound. Certainly the many influences pointed out by the reviewer weren't always competing with Dylan, (ofttimes Dylan isn't competing with Dylan). It sounds pretty cool, actually.
