Just heard the title track from Bruce Springsteen's upcoming album, Devils & Dust on XM's Deep Tracks channel. Let's just say that I hope this one will grow on me, cuz on first listen it really leaves me cold. Bruce-by-the-numbers, almost TOO remeniscent of songs like "Land of Hope and Dreams" and "Blood Brothers".
Good songs, mind you, but "Devils & Dust", at least at this point, isn't hitting me like they do. Here's hoping it's not one of the strongest tracks on the album, and also that it will grow on me. Such a consistantly excellent body of work doesn't need one more clunker to add to the few among it (that would be a few tracks from Human Touch and Lucky Town that I'm alluding to).
