Springsteen "Wrecking Ball" hits the terrible times

"Hold on to anger and not succumb to their fears," Bruce Springsteen growl challenging the title track of the ball flight (*** ½ out of four), roaring in the State of the Union in the rootsy folk -rock envelope.

The album has already leaked and widely disseminated, but not officially available until Tuesday, the angrier and more politically pointed out the date, trampling with anger still crackles with joy, like the heroes of his race to the railing of an economy in tatters and toxic.

Although not his best outing, Wrecking shooting in family strengths: passion, Roadhouse Swagger, muscular melodies and spirit. Springsteen gets hot the current state of the nation without an expiration date stamped on their songs.

News - biting, unambiguous and often in language taken from the Bible - to focus on unemployment, banks and decay curves of the American dream. Fuels anger and despair these issues, but always uplifting chorus around the corner.

Tears of the destruction of Wall Street and Main Street to raise, Springsteen is struggling with the frustration and fear Everyman in the same agility and is distributed directly to 9/11-themed Rising. He faced similar problems of Nebraska and the spirit of Tom Joad, but is less gloomy Wrecking poetic, more forceful and clear speech. His populist anthems is unlikely to be misunderstood and taken for Republican candidates. President Obama is not ready to play the campaign.

While Springsteen and the E Street Band will tour starting this month, is a solo album Demolition of Sidemen dead. Late Clarence Clemons sax solo mixed lights on Earth, hopes and dreams and peaceful contribution to the title track, and drummer Max Weinberg, appears on two tracks. Other E Streeters are missing in action. Instead, Springsteen largely based on players from 2006 of We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, Wrecking closest cousin in its catalog.

Despite his joy make noise and passionate calls for action, the thread running through the resignation of wrecking ball. The jack of all trades, Springsteen sings, "a man becomes fat banker, working man grows a fine / That all happened before and everything will happen."

Maybe so, but now Springsteen offers inspiration and motivation for everyone willing to join their S truggle against injustice and escapism of the contents of surviving the storm.
