Delightfully mediocre, in my opinion. But, that's kinda how I feel about most Springsteen, so, I'm not best person to ask really.

At least you found it delightful or is that just a Music Snobs way of saying it sucked?

Looking up "mediocre" in the dictionary would be a good start for you here.

If I thought it sucked, I would have said I thought it sucked. If I liked it, I would have said I liked it. But I was just in between. Feel better now that I've cleared things up for you?

"Mediocre" is an excellent description. The Rising certainly doesn't justify all "The Boss is Back!" hype and it doesn't hold a candle to some of his early work with the E Street Band.

It must be. I can't even think of a song off the album that I would recignize.

I thought it was mediocre at best. I couldn't believe this was the E street band. What the hell happened? Oh well, there's always his older stuff which still kicks ass.
