  1. New York Magazine (Vulture)
    80
    Springsteen refuses to allow himself either vengefulness or excessive pride, and he avoids too-literal musings on the tragedy that ultimately undermined songs like Neil Young's "Let's Roll."

    The most eloquent artistic response yet to the World Trade Center tragedy. [Sep 2002, p.130]

    Both sober and celebratory, The Rising makes a strong case for the transcending power of rock and roll.
