I would think he would debut number 1 here in the States as well. If the record came out 1/27, how long until they post on the charts? He may have number 1 and number 2 with that shit Walmart release he threw out there.

In your honest opinion, how does Working on a Dream compare with Magic? I've heard a mixed bag so far. I know that link to a bunch of YouTubes was up here a bit ago, but I don't really like judging an album from YouTube compressed shit. If you say it's good (as I expect you will), is it in the style of Magic or is it more contemplative Bruce? I like the former better. I didn't really care for the title track during the SB, but I think the choir kinda weirded me out.

Honestly? Workin on a Dream the song is one of the weaker ones, IMO. I can listen to Outlaw Pete, My Lucky Day and Life Itself, and Kingdom of Days over and over. The Wrestler is a solid tune and gets radio play, but my favourite so far is Queen of the Supermarket..such a beautiful ballad and he manages to drop a F Bomb in for good measure.
I like it a lot more than Magic. Magic had that political tone to it, and some songs were weak I thought.

Ah, you saw Live in Barcelona didn't you? Has there ever been a better live disc?
Euro fans are 40 times better than US fans.
