I haven't listened to these much other than the perfunctory original listen. That alone says a lot to me about these songs. Normally I'd be dissecting them and listening to them over and over. But they just didn't grab me like every other albums initial listen. I agree and will take it one step further. I don't think these will be on any heavy rotation on any radio station after the first week other than E Street Radio.
All that being said, I also agree with NUNOPORTO and I'll take it one step further. He does write and play just for all of us but more importantly he writes for himself.
Even at age 69, Springsteen is constantly evolving and experimenting, testing himself and us. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised by the rest of the album and even if I'm not, I'll buy it. lol
One thing for sure, I'm looking forward to and I'll be more than ready for the 2020 tour.
