This was the album that America needed following 9/11. Bruce told the stories of the firefighters who risked their lives, the people who lost someone, and the nation who was suddenly lost in confusion. With the E Street Band back in the studio with him, these songs just sounded complete in a way the albums of the 90s failed to do.
It is one of Bruce's best albums, in my opinion. It's powerful and brings back a flood of memories every time I hear it. My favorites include "My City of Ruins", "Lonesome Day", "Empty Sky", "You're Missin", and "The Rising".
