"In my opinion this is a big improvement on modern times. Dylan's production, as Jack frost, is a lot less slick than it was on the previous album.

"The presidential election of Barak Obama was meant to have heralded in a new era for America, and Bruce Springsteen was ready to celebrate with his new album.
