Album of the Day: Bruce Springsteen

In case you haven't heard, Bruce Springsteen has a new album. Like every album he'd done since the early '90s, Wrecking Ball is being hailed as "His best since Born in the USA!" The difference is that this time it may actually be.

Wrecking Ball comes out tomorrow, March 6, but Springsteen's website is streaming the entire album free today. Hearing the album as a whole, as opposed to the single tracks that have been previewed over the last few weeks, it's clear that Bruce and crew were gunning for an epic on the level of Darkness on the Edge of Town. Do they hit those heights? Listen for yourself right here.

And while we're on the subject: is it just us or is the instrumental hook from first single "We Take Care of Our Own" lifted from A Flock of Seagulls' 1983 hit "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph of You)"?
