Rock / Contemporary Rock / Heartland Rock There isn't another Bruce Springsteen album like High Hopes. Cobbled together from
covers -- of other songwriters along with the Boss himself ("American
Skin [41 Shots]" and "The Ghost of Tom Joad" are both revived) -- and
outtakes from the last decade, High Hopes doesn't have the cohesion or
gilded surfaces of Wrecking Ball, but neither is it quite a
clearinghouse of leftovers. Inspired in part by Rage Against the Machine
guitarist Tom Morello, who has proven to be a brother in arms to
Springsteen, as well as a substitute for Steven Van Zandt in the
E-Street Band, High Hopes certainly bears the proud stamp of Morello,
both in its workingman's politics and in its cinematic sound.
Much of this record oscillates between the moody and militant, particularly in the
politically charged numbers, which are often colored by percussive
guitar squalls. Here, the RATM guitarist often resembles a Nils Lofgren
stripped of blues or lyricism -- think of the gusts of noise on "Tunnel
of Love," only without any melodicism -- and that's a bracing change for
Springsteen, who has shown interest in atmospherics but usually when
they're coming from keyboards, not six strings. Such sociological talk
suggests High Hopes is nothing but rallying cries and downhearted
laments, but the fascinating thing about this unkempt collection is how
these protest songs and workingman's anthems are surrounded by intimate
tunes, ranging from a cover of the Saints' latter-day "Just Like Fire
Would" to a strangely soothing interpretation of Suicide's "Dream Baby
Dream." Morello reportedly had as much to do with the inclusion of these
covers as he did with the record's set pieces -- a stirring "The Ghost
of Tom Joad," "American Skin" (which can't help but seem like a
reference to the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin in this context), and
"High Hopes," a Tim Scott McConnell song first recorded in the '90s --
and there's a certain sober passion that ties all these songs together
but, in turn, it makes the rest of the record all the more compelling
because the pieces simply don't fit. There's the rousing Gaelic rock of
"This Is Your Sword," sounding a bit like a rejected closing credit
theme for The Wire; "Down in the Hole," which rides the same train-track
rhythm as "I'm on Fire;" the complicated waltz of "Hunter of Invisible
Game," softer and stranger than much of the rest here; "Harry's Place," a
bit of synthesized Sopranos noir that sounds much older than its ten
years; and the absolutely glorious "Frankie Fell in Love," as
open-hearted and romantic a song as Springsteen has ever written.
Strictly speaking, these 12 songs don't cohere into a mood or narrative
but after two decades of deliberate, purposeful albums, it's rather
thrilling to hear Springsteen revel in a mess of contradictions.
