Oct 17, 2016A definitive great follow-up for The Rising (2002), from Bruce & The E Street Band...
A Little Underrated come-on this album deserves a better percentage than Wrecking Ball (2012) that are a very disappointing album from the boss at least in the melodies -

Jul 30, 2011At first listen, its good. At second listen, it becomes something greater. In the end, Magic is a collection of almost surprisingly deep songs that also manage to provide pure musical enjoyment.

ChrisKNov 25, 2007I wish Bruce would stick with folk ... his rock sits too hard on the ears. I really wanted to love this record, and instead it doesn't even make my top ten of the year.

BJKOct 24, 2007In today's corporate run media (in the U.S.), any artist who gets political is going to get more than his fair share of bad reviews. Take the score you see and add 10 points for corporate media bias. After 32 reviews that puts the Boss up to 86, not 76. In my opinion, this is at least as good as the 9/11 inspired Rising which has a composite of 82.

ChadMOct 20, 2007His best album in years. The E Street band have never sounded tighter. This is sure to go down as a classic.

FlemmingK.Oct 20, 2007Time will show, that this will be recognized as one of the great 4. Born To Run, Darkness, River and Magic! Play it through 10-20 times and your reservations will be gone. Mine was! Already a classic!

It's the way Springsteen injects his American bible stories with the air of disbelief that makes Magic a truly mature and memorable album.
-
It trades in giddying, irresistible, full-steam-ahead-and-damn-the-torpedoes rock'n'roll. But at its heart, it's essentially a thoughtful wander in search of personal and national innocence.

Magic is a strong record, riddled with sad emotion yet a noble intent to carry on.
