“It sounds like Arcade Fire,” my colleague wrote.
This makes beautiful sense. Springsteen has publicly embraced the Montreal-based band as the heir apparent to his own E Street Band. Arcade Fire is a classic rock band whose members grew up in the 1980s; they understand that synth-pop can rouse a crowd, too. The Arcade Fire sound resolves the contradictions that kept Boss fans and New Wavers apart in the 1980s.

I have been in love with Bruce Springsteen since I was 7. I cannot wait for his new album!
