The last time Bruce Springsteen ventured West for inspiration, the result was the desolate Nebraska and its tales of serial killers and used cars. On his first record in three years, Springsteen navigates barren deserts and Old West war fields for a dozen forlorn songs that co-star the artist and his acoustic guitar. Though he's always had a knack for carving out the hooks and melodies that make each journey memorable, this time around Springsteen relies on the lyrics to carry the tune-desperate tales of tragedy, heartbreak, and lust with a Latino twist, like the boxer coming home ("The Hitter"), a distressing border-crossing incident ("Matamoros Banks"), and the Nevada hooker with good intentions ("Reno," which led to the warning sticker Adult Imagery). With no E Street Band in the mix, the album is decorated with horns and strings and Springsteens novel falsetto on two his best efforts: "Marias Bed," where the narrator comes home to his woman after 40 nights on the road, and the fast-picking "All Im Thinkin About," where he has more than Carolina on his mind. A decade from now this will be an underrated record in the Springsteen chronicles. --Scott Holter The Best of Bruce

The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle (1973)
After a folk-rockish debut album that bubbled with ideas and dense lyrical play, this is where Springsteen began to find his voice as a rocker and as a songwriter. The prisoner-of-love romanticism of "Rosalita" and "Incident on 57th Street" hinted at what was coming, and this early version of the E Street Band--jazzier and more spare than later versions, thanks largely to David Sancious's piano--sounds great, if a little ragged, these many years later.
Born to Run (1975) and Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)
These two records, which belong on any compilation of the top 100 rock albums of all time, sketched the themes that he would spend his whole career chasing, and defined the expectations fans would bring to his records ever after. The first chords of "Born to Run" sounded like freedom itself the first time I heard them on the radio, and the album lived up to them. "Thunder Road" is still the greatest rock & roll love song anyone's ever written. The record sounded so big and impassioned and propulsive it was easy to miss the dread running underneath it. Darkness... put the dread front and center. There are more of his best songs here than anywhere else, even if the sound is muddy and leaden at times.
Nebraska (1982)
After The River (the best record that didn't make this list) and the ensuing tour answered his rock & roll prayers--he was a big star now, not just a perennial critics' favorite--Springsteen holed up in a rented house on the Jersey shore, where he wrote these songs and sang them into a four-track recorder in his living room. The tape was supposed to be a demo for the band, but after several false tries he concluded that the tape he'd been carrying around in his pocket was the record. Quiet and bleak, Nebraska nonetheless grabbed you by the collar and made you listen as surely as his rock & roll records ever had.
Tunnel of Love (1987)
The glare and hubbub surrounding the Born in the USA tour (the tour was great--the record itself overrated) made him pull back again, this time to write a cycle of songs about love and fear and self-doubt. After this, Springsteen's first marriage broke up, and he started a family with Patti Scialfa, disappearing for the better part of 10 years, notwithstanding the pair of not bad, just disappointing albums he released in 1992, Human Touch and Lucky Town.
The Ghost of Tom Joad (1995)
Some call it Nebraska II, but his second acoustic album was not a repeat of his first--the characters and settings had changed, and their circumstances were more expressly desperate, and social--though it did share the same interest in what happens to people whose isolation or marginal status renders them invisible.
The Rising (2002)
Everybody--including Springsteen himself--seemed to think it was a record about 9/11, but the subject was broader: death and loss as seen from more than halfway down life's road. Dave Marsh nailed it: "A middle-aged man confronts death and chooses life." Brendan O'Brien's production sounds great.

As far as using it in a computer, I am a longtime Mac user with 10.2 and Tiger just installed. Both my 2001 iBook and my early 2002 flat-panel iMac recognize the disc as a regular CD and iTunes rips it just fine. I was able to put the songs on iPod with no problems at all. That being said, I don't know if it works on a PC for sure, but I'm sure if you have current CD equipment that was not third-party and is supported by the manufacturer, you probably will not experience any problems. I also have played it in two different GoVideo DVD/VCR decks and in my Sony all-in-one DVD/VCR home theater system. One pet peeve of mine is that DualDisc manufacturers should just come out and say what hardware it does NOT work with. Again, Mac systems are usually picky since we are only a small part of the market; therefore, the disc should work fine on a PC. Even if the CD doesn't work in your player, the DVD content on this is worth buying the disc alone. Springsteen included introductions in the video section that talk mainly about the songs on the record and his thoughts on songwriting in general. This, whether you are a Springsteen fan or not (I'm not a BIG fan), is THE reason to buy this disc.
The 5.1 mix, by Nick Didia also on the DVD side really spreads out the sounds in the music. It is very similar to a DVD-Audio disc. After you hear this mix, It's hard to listen to it in conventional stereo because it sounds as if they are trying to cram too much into two speakers on some of the songs. 5.1 sounds more natural believe it or not, and the subwoofer channel is used very effectively on this mix. Superb. I would buy CDs again if every album was remixed like this. If this is the future of music, then the iPod has been rendered obsolete as of today because iPod has no possible way of playing a 5.1 mix.
As for the actual music, Springsteen's writing continues to get better and better with age. Some songs that stand out: on the title track, he presents fear and surviving in a real way for every listener to grasp. "I've got God on my side," he writes, "I'm just trying to survive/What if what you do to survive/Kills the things you love."
"All the Way Home" describes people who have baggage and one is desperately trying to find company with the other. We can tell the character has done this many times before. "Reno" is about a lonely man with a prostitute who is still lonely, even after having the "best" he has ever had. "Long Time Comin'" is about someone who has made mistakes with raising his kids and gets a second chance to redeem himself. "All I'm Thinkin' About" utilizes Springsteen's falsetto that is reminiscent of Roy Orbison. His narratives about people who are struggling with a variety of issues, from having another kid, to loneliness and finding unsuccessful and disappointing ways to cope with that ("Reno"), are dark, but Springsteen manages to present these stories using harmonies that are light in contrast to the lyrics, which makes the record not so heavy-handed and didactic, and provides a kind of non-depressive way to get into these stories. In this day of aging rock stars desperately trying to compete with their younger counterparts, finally there is a record that is actually made for adults to enjoy.
Brendan O'Brien's production is top notch, while Bob Ludwig's mastering job is excellent on all of the 2-track mixes. I highly recommend this record, for the technology as well as the content. Many people will not get what Springsteen accomplishes, but this CD will be regarded as a classic in 5 years.
Yes, it is spare, when compared to some of the full-bodied arrangements of the E Street Band, but it's NOT just Bruce and a guitar, like "Nebraska".
Nor is it as monotonous and bleak as "The Ghost of Tom Joad". Not even close.
In fact, many songs have full guitar-bass-drums back-ups, with synths, horns and back-up vocals sprinkled throughout the entire disc. Many are up-tempo as well.
It's a serious and heavy record, but it has its' foot-stomping moments here and there. In the same way, "Nebraska" has a zippy tune or two, so does this. It most definitely moves.
What makes this more of a nakedly "confessional" album is not that Bruce is opening himself up, revealing more of himself. He instead is immersing himself in various other characters, and brings them breathtakingly alive in each of his songs...little vignettes...little movies.
Many songs have "protagonists", just like a novel or a film. Bruce occupies each character, and THEN opens them for us to examine, to experience. He sings in different "voices", one half-spoken, one more "southern", another in falsetto...all according to the person he's singing about. Or more correctly, the voice of the character singing.
Many things will be written about "Reno", but I guarantee you'll be fixated with his tale of a man and a hooker. Shoot...the lyrics read like a tight little short story.
You'll be haunted by "Matamoros Bank", one of the several songs dealing, either directly or indirectly, with the plight of immigrants in the U.S. He had covered this area before in Joad's "Across The Border" but nothing like this.
You'll smile when the "band" kicks in on "Maria's Bed", sort of like Bruce goosing the accelerator on a beat-up pick-up truck, barrelling down some dusty back road. He's telling you a story while you sit there in the passenger's seats, grinning from ear to ear.
Each song deserves a separate analysis or their own individual recognition here (and they get a lot of print and praise in the other reviews), but I think you'd be better off, if you at all interested in the album, to go ahead and just get it without reading too many more of these things.
Discover it yourself. It's the type of album where each listener will find all sorts of hidden treasures & unexpected pleasures.
I'll tell you, even for this Springsteen fan, I was quietly impressed. Borderline astonished.
success of The Rising and a brief international tour, The Boss have again fully
resumed his recording career in 2005 when he released this heartfelt master-
work. Devils And Dust is a deeply robust combination of low-key artistry, folk-
rock, dramatic ballads, haunting stories, social commentary and rocking notes
filled with hope and self-determination that not only gave him another hit CD,
but also provides another phrase for him as both a rock titan and a storyteller.
Heralded by a quietly stark, stripped down dusty ambience beginning with the
title track, the track set proceed well a set of excellent songs, like All The Way
Home (written for Southside Johnny to include in his album Better Days which
he released in 1991), Long Time Coming, the slide guitar-driven Reno, Silver
Palomino, The Hitter, All I’m Thinking About and Metamonas Banks, for whom
he perform in a two-step rhythm, first rate virtuosity and occasional harmonica
solos to spare. Lyrically speaking, there are a couple moving moments like the
contemplative allegory Black Cowboys, in which he pit the hard edge narrative
against the soft whispering canvas of acoustic guitar and organ. Also added to
the success of Devils And Dust can be directly owed to his stance he taken on
corporate politics because of humanitarian or social reasons as he once again
tells tales of individuals rather than moments, and you will truly find this one to
be an upbeat and aspiring timeless hit that ranks with one of his best albums.

Unbedingte Kaufempfehlung!
A torto.
Tutta la produzione del Boss è un cammino nella sua vita 100% americana, niente è suonato e cantato a caso o solo per rallegrare il pubblico.
In concerto dal vivo riesce a trasmettere energie impensabili, nei CD lascia pensieri e musiche per l'anima.
