Now, granted, this is just a rumor, but I've come to believe everything on the Internet is true, even if it contradicts itself. So, assuming this is true, I'm excited, with a couple reservations, such as creating a studio version of "American Skin" (making it an "only live" song gives it a novel status, and, by setting it apart from the rest of Springsteen's catalog, helps underline the strong message of the song) and the lack of some of my personal favorite Springsteen covers from the past few years (such as "Coma Girl"). However, we are getting about a half dozen new Springsteen songs, so that's nothing to complain about. In the end, I can't think of a way to end the article without making a terrible "I have....high hopes for this album" joke, so here we go: I have....high hopes for this album.
