So, so wrong. You cut almost all of the best songs!!! And left on Into the Fire, maybe his worst song ever. Ugh. Terrible. Terrible! Every song you cut is on my retracked version. |

Correct retracking: 1. Paradise 2. Countin' on a Miracle 3. The Fuse 4. Further On (Up the Road) 5. Waitin' on a Sunny Day 6. The Rising 7. Let's Be Friends (Skin to Skin) 8. Lonesome Day 9. Mary's Place 10. My City of Ruins 11. Worlds Apart |

you can't start the album off with paradise. it's not allowed. i'd rather listen to high hopes on repeat than that tracklist. |

Post subject: | Re: Bruce Springsteen |
I feel like I need to listen to The Rising again and retrack it myself after this. High Hopes is an interesting beast, mostly because it shows its b-side colors in the way it is so uneven but still have some real quality stuff in there. |
