I have mixed feelings, I'll admit, but I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear the finished product. Most of the songs on here are either covers or new recordings of songs that were already released in some fashion (or both), and that's new for Bruce.

Having said that, I really like this version of "High Hopes"- Bruce always has been fantastic at making covers his own, and that bodes well for the rest of this album. I also like the fact that Tom Morello is on this album, too.

"Dream Baby Dream", on the other hand, works great in the "Thank You" video he released for the fans, but I think it's kind of boring otherwise, I hate to say. He released a live version a few years ago, and I think I played it once.

A few of the song titles are pretty intriguing- "Hunter of Invisible Game"?

But, as I said, open mind.

FYI for anyone looking to buy, Amazon has a limited edition for preorder that includes a live DVD of the "Born in the USA" performance from HRC.
