Not since the Vandersteen 2 has a loudspeaker come on to the audio scene with such assuredness of success. Not since the Vandy has a speaker so outpaced the competition in terms of quality and value at its price point as has this Gallo loudspeaker." Martin DeWolf - Bound For Sound "... This speaker combines so much unconventional thinking, novel applications and build quality in such a balanced, physically compact but sonically gargantuan and full-range design, and for such an exceedingly fair price that some drastic measure of formal recognition was required to truly separate it out from the crowds that make up the $3,000 - $10,000 floorstanding speaker field."

And most of the time he delivers, even here on Devils & Dust, his 13th studio album since his debut in the spring of '73. The world has changed a lot since then and Bruce has changed along with it. His reflections and recollections have mirrored the drama of the American landscape like Steinbeck and Frost, Ginsberg and Kerouac. Now, though, like Dylan did in the '80s, Springsteen has reached a plateau of ideas and lyrical vision. He's been getting there for a while, I guess, but on D&D it's getting more obvious. I know he's getting older, but he's starting to repeat ideas. It was disguised over the last decade, because his last studio work The Rising sprung from such a wellspring of raw emotion from 9/11 and required taking on a universal, or at least national, voice of outrage, understanding and resolve that bore such a heavy weight of responsibility. Although not his greatest musical moment, it was perhaps his finest hour. Now, with all that stripped away, Bruce is facing his own demons and mortality; like Nebraska and Tom Joad before it, D&D displays Springsteen's honesty of intent and undiluted compassion for his fellow man, but for the first time, one feels, it's nothing new. Yes, he embodies the mind of the fragile GI on the title track and the ill-fated illegales of "Matamoros Banks" and finds his customary redemption in hookers, grifters and railroad bums outsiders of all stripes in a rich pageant of Edward Hopper-like portraits. And there are harsh details of love gone awry on "Reno" and "Maria's Bed" that even get Bruce his first sticker warning. But there's a sense of going over old ground on D&D that must be a bit depressing for many old Boss fans like me.
