Springsteen's latest "Dream" needs more work

Compared to what most bands are putting out these days, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's "Working on a Dream" is a solid effort. By Springsteen's own lofty standard, though, the record is a bit of a disappointment. There are some strong moments, to be sure, but the lack of a unifying theme and some repetition from the band's last two records reduce the impact of the work.
