Sep 24, 2012The ballads drag, but the anthems are rousing and joyous even when the sentiments are not. "Death To My Hometown" might even top the Pretenders' "My City Was Gone" as the best song ever in whatever tiny sub-genre we might call this.

Dec 16, 2017whY Springsteen WHY????????. Land Of Hopes And Dreams,We Take Care Of Our Own, and the title track "Wrecking Ball" are AMAZING songs.
Almost make me think & believe that the full album is amazing, but rest of the songs is only great on lyrics, and awful & bad in melodies

Apr 26, 2012Wrecking Ball spins Springsteen's most focused work since 2002's The Rising and most defiant and hooky since 1984's Born in the U.S.A.

MagnetApr 11, 2012The 62-year old Springsteen sounds every bit the angry, empathetic and impassioned social commentator he was on post-Y2K rockers like The Rising and Magic. [No.86, p.57]
