IMO, a jewel box of a handful of gems, including Chasin', Hello Sunshine, Moonlight, Western, Stones, and perhaps Tucson Train (which just hooks me).  Sundown doesn't impress and feels like a (very poor man's) retread of 'Girls'.  Really love most of the production (which I haven't felt about a BS album in decades) including how he gives the music an opportunity to breath such as in the last 80 seconds or so of Chasin'.  I know the sonic landscape is very different this time, but the engineered sound is more musical and less compressed (?) than most recent albums?  I want to play half of the album over and over and over again while I do not really need to hear some of the others ever again, albeit there is a whole-greater-than-sum-of-the-parts value to the album.  Moonlight, Chasin, and Stones hit me the most.  Grateful and appreciative for new and different music. Enjoy.

Those 3 are my favourites two. Are great Springsteen songs that i guess i ll listen in the future like all the others great we know from the past. But i think the 3 pre-releases heard in the record context make sense and are growing on me much more now. (Sorry about my english). Ah i also like Hitch Hikin, sorry (lol)
