Great Springsteen/Poor Sound Quality on both CD/LP Jan 05, 2009 We have both CD and LP, both have poor sound quality-distorted midrange to treble. Previously only played on computer/and MP3 players, did not notice inferior quality until we played both CD and LP on our nicer stereo system.
We love Springsteen, this would be one of his best albums ever except for the sound quality.

as with all Brendan O'Brian should seek another line of work Dec 26, 2008 Finally got a chance to hear this on loan from my local library. Others might do the same if curious and spare the grief of listening as if Phil Spector's downstairs neighbor. I am terribly disappointed in Mr. Springsteen for this recent entry into his discography as it's merit will forever fail on the overtly compressed production engineering tapped only for the mp3 age. It certainly makes 'Nebraska' and it's living room production a 5 star and the initially flawed mastering on Columbia's first 'Born to Run' compact disc seem just pristine. Now unfortunately producer O'Brian is at the helm of the new 'Working on a Dream'.
As for "C. Perry" review re: >It's overproduced and almost unlistenable. It has violins. Violins on a Springsteen album!!!!! < check Suki Lahav - thems good violins!!!!!

American Night Dec 20, 2008 "Magic" is not one of my favorite Springsteen sets. I waited for a year for the price to come down and am glad I bought a used budget copy. My failure to connect with this set is because the songs blend together for me. My favorite track is "Living in the Future" with a great rocking sound that E-Street blows out the roof. Springsteen's vocals on the track are committed, "My faith's been torn asunder, tell me is that rollin' thunder or just the sinkin' sound of somethin' righteous goin' under?" However, the song sounds much better to me in a playlist rotation with other artists rather than in the context of "Magic." The opening track "Radio Nowhere" is also good with its booming throbbing, "Bouncing off a satellite, crushin' the last lone American night." "Your Own Worst Enemy," "Gypsy Biker," & "I'll Work for Your Love" sound like replays of better Springsteen songs from the past. Perhaps Bruce's new "Dreams" CD will be better! Taxi!

He's still got it! Dec 12, 2008 This is a great collection of songs. The absolute standout for me is "Girls in their Summer Clothes". It's perfect!

Muddy Dec 11, 2008 This is the worst sounding Springsteen cd ever. It is really hard to listen to. The vocals are buried deep in the muddy mix. I heard most of these songs played with the E-Street Band on the Magic tour and they sounded so much better. I don't hear the E-street band on this cd.
