    Over the years I've gotten to hear almost all of my wishlist live but have only heard LOHAD down a phone so hoping that it will be on at least one setlist but I'm thinking it will prob be a regular - I won't complain. Studio version not bad at all and the sax is ringing through loud and clear. Gonna miss the Big Man as we always went his side of the stage and there was a little thrill when the techs would start setting up his sax's.

    I really like Rocking Ground. Has a real The Rising vibe to it IMO.

    I like it!

    Rocky Ground or Death To My Hometown. I'm torn.

    Who is the female vocalist and the rapper?

    Also, who produced this album? Brendan O'Brien?

    The credits are at http://www.springsteenlyrics.com/

    The producer (Ron Aniello) also produced Patti Scialfa's last album (which is very good).

    There is a saying: "If you're Catholic when you're five years old, you're Catholic for the rest of your life"

    While Bruce apparently is no longer a "practicing" Catholic, one can certainly tell he attended St. Rose of Lima elementary school back in the day. This is his most "Catholic" album yet. I look forward to listening to it in a single sitting.

    I'd be interested in hearing why you think that. With the exception of Rocky Ground, there isn't a lot of overtly religious lyrics.

    It's due out on Friday but it'll most definitely be in the shops on Thursday, normally out a day or two before here. Maybe lucky and get it on Wednesday even.

    I was the second one in Ireland to own it in hard copy yesterday (I have my contacts :P )

    It's official on sale tomorrow but it is very possibly out in HMV or Tower today, sometimes they go out a day earlier there for some reason.

    The packaging and booklet are really nice.
