TheMaker Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You're right. I need to keep listening. Just used to a little more depth, I guess. So... you're the other guy who skipped Magic and The Rising and Devils and Dust, then? Bruce hasn't made a great album since '87, folks... haven't heard this one yet, since I'm fucking obsessed with Matt Ward's new one, but I'll get around to it whenever and offer my thoughts.

Vacant Horizon Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 All i have to say is... "i'm outlaw pete and you better not mess with me!" that song's a big uh,oh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 didn't outlaw pete get together with the queen of the supermarket at some point. i think i remember that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 4 songs in and underwhelmed would be an understatement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I listened to it last night - it did not do anything for me. He pretty much stops with Nebraska for me. There are a few songs I like after that - One Step Up, Human Touch, If I Should Fall Behind, Straight Time, Let's Be Friends (Skin to Skin). The last one I bought was Devils & Dust - which won't play in my computer's cd player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much sums it up for all of the 80's and 90's stuff. The Rising is...meh...too long. Magic's pretty good. Devils and Dust is pretty solid too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 All i have to say is... "i'm outlaw pete and you better not mess with me!" that song's a big uh,oh! Totally. But you know what's really fun to do? Sing "I was made fuh luvvin' you baay-be" along with the verses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I sort of like the song Working On A Dream - or at least - the chorus anyhow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I sort of like the song Working On A Dream - or at least - the chorus anyhow. that's my 2nd least fave on the album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It's romantic and catchy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imsjry Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Tell me "Outlaw Pete" won't be amazing live. Not sure why some are dissing that one. Whether you love or hate the disc, you have to admit it's the strangest album he's made. That's gotta account for something in Bruce-world. It's 100x more interesting than "Magic" was/is.

Yeah, I'd agree. It's got some highs (Outlaw Pete, The Last Carnival), but the lows are lower than most of his releases..... At least that's what I think. Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrNo Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 "Queen of the Supermarket" is fucking stupid. Not even Bruce dropping an f bomb can save it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imsjry Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 "Queen of the Supermarket" is fucking stupid. Not even Bruce dropping an f bomb can save it. Song is supposed to be humorous, no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 "Queen of the Supermarket" is fucking stupid. Not even Bruce dropping an f bomb can save it. while a lot of the lyrics (they're totally tongue in cheek btw) are really dumb, i totally LOVE that line: "I turn back for a moment and catch her smile and it blows this whole fucking place apart". sorry. plus the second half of that song kills musically Bruce has ALWAYS had a pretty big element of cheese to his music & lyrics, this is nothing new.

tongue-tied lightning Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 lots of good chat about this song on backkstreets.com I think Kyle said it best, we tend to forget about the cheesefactor in Bruce's music. I still think this is better than Magic, you agree Kyle ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still think this is better than Magic, you agree Kyle ?totally... other than maybe 3-4 songs, Magic never clicked with me at all... i like this new one all the way through minus 2-3 songs... way way better than Magic for me. like i said above, it's a total mixed bag... maybe the most varied Bruce album to date, but somehow it works for me. is it amazing? no... am i excited to see a handful of these songs on the upcoming tour? you bet. i'd say it's a solid 3.5/5 record Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 thanks, perfectly said, a true mix bagmy fav song might be the song he uses the bullet mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CortezTheKiller Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 1st spin. Nothing nowhere near as powerful as "I'll Work For Your Love" or "Terry's Song" on this album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 1st spin. Nothing nowhere near as powerful as "I'll Work For Your Love" or "Terry's Song" on this album. i'd argue The Wrestler is near Terry's Song quality in terms of solo songs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrNo Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 i'd argue The Wrestler is near Terry's Song quality in terms of solo songs... The Wrestler is about the only listenable song on here. "There's a wonderful world where all you desireAnd everything you've longed for is at your fingertipsWhere the bittersweet taste of life is at your lipsWhere aisles and aisles of dreams await youAnd the cool promise of ecstasy fills the airAt the end of each working day she's waiting there I'm in love with the Queen of the SupermarketAs the evening sky turns blueA dream awaits in aisle number two With my shopping cart I move through the heartOf a sea of fools so blissfully unawareThat they're in the presence of something wonderful and rareThe way she moves behind the counterBeneath her white apron her secret remains hersAs she bags the groceries her eyes so boredAnd sure she's unobserved I'm in love with the Queen of the SupermarketThere's nothing I can sayEach night I take my groceries and I drift awayAnd I drift away Items from my ???At night I pray for the strength to tell herWhen I love I love I love I love her soTake my place in the check-out lineFor one moment her eyes meet mineI'm lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, lifted up I'm in love with the Queen of the SupermarketThough her company cap covers her hairNothing can hide the beauty waiting thereThe beauty waiting there I'm in love with the Queen of the SupermarketI'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket As I lift my groceries in to my carI turn back for a moment and catch a smileThat blows this whole fucking place apart I'm in love with the Queen of the SupermarketI'm in love with the Queen of the SupermarketI'm in love with the Queen of the SupermarketI'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket" I concede he's always been a little cheesy, but I hate him for this.

solace Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this record... honestly was surprised how much i enjoyed it, as 2 of those first 4 songs released were pretty poor, but thankfully wound up being my least faves on the record for the most part.
