I don't like it. It just seems quite boring and dry to me. His voice doesn't even sound that great. I loved The Rising, as it contained a bit of everything, while this album is all one type of style, which I don't like at all. Even the critics, who have always been kind to Bruce, are trashing this as a self indulgent album that makes little sense. But I know Bruce has to release some of his so called "deep" thoughts every now and again, so I will tolerate it and look forward to the next album.
