 This CD is right for the times! Mar 22, 2003
Listen to the words and rock with the band. Nothing short of A+ from the all-time rock and roll concert performer! He is best live, always was and always will be.

Okay, which is it? Sep 29, 2002
Is The Rising an album cut like the Track Listing says, or is it a Live cut, like the Editorial review says?

 LAND OF HOPE % DREAMS Aug 24, 2002
The new CD is pretty good and I got this already but I got this one for the Live version. It's typically "LIVE" in that it drags on at the end but otherwise a good song.

Springsteen is Back and Better Than Ever! Jul 29, 2002
This song is very catchy and very enjoyable to listen to as well as containing a powerful message of hope. Guitars are very prominent-the E Street Band is awesume. Land of Hope and Dreams was an excellent choice as a companion piece. Cannot wait to here this one at the concert! I only hope Springsteen puts out a music video for this one.

Here's what happens when a GOOD songwriter addresses 9/11... Jul 26, 2002
Bruce's subtle tribute to the heroes of the September 11 attacks resonates more clearly, more appropriately, and in a more heartfelt manner than any of the lame, knee-jerk "we're Americans and we're gonna kick your..." songs we've been innundated with over the past 10 months. "The Rising" is a brilliant testament from one of this century's most talented singer/songwriters. As a bonus, the "Rising" single contains the stunning live version of "Land and Hope and Dreams" from last year's 'Live in NYC' album. In the original concert, this song was played directly after "Born to Run", and hearing the songs side by side, it's clear that the latter is written by the same man as the former--only now he's 25 years older and that much wiser. "Land of Hope and Dreams" brilliantly revisits the same territory as "Born to Run", only whereas the characters in "Born to Run" were running AWAY from lives they wish were better, 25 years later in "Land of Hope and Dreams", those same characters in are now running TO lives that they know will be better. I look forward to hearing the rest of the new album. If what I've heard so far ("The Rising," "Lonesome Day" and "The Fuse") are any indication, this could be one of Bruce's finest.
