As a drummer I'm usually opposed to drum machines and drum loops but I don't think they detract from the songs on Wrecking Ball, if anything they add a contemporary feel to the more folksy songs.

Bruce knows what he's doing and I think he was right to record this album without The E Street Band. Magic was a superb album but WOAD sounded jaded and generic.

This Depression is slowly becoming my favourite, but the double whammy of Rocky Ground and LOHAD has to be the highlight of the album for me.
