Devils & Dust
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The last time Bruce Springsteen ventured West for inspiration, the result was the desolate Nebraska and its tales of serial killers and used cars. On his first record in three years, Springsteen navigates barren deserts and Old West war fields for a dozen forlorn songs that co-star the artist and his acoustic guitar. Though he's always had a knack for carving out the hooks and melodies that make each journey memorable, this time around Springsteen relies on the lyrics to carry the tune-desperate tales of tragedy, heartbreak, and lust with a Latino twist, like the boxer coming home ("The Hitter"), a distressing border-crossing incident ("Matamoros Banks"), and the Nevada hooker with good intentions ("Reno," which led to the warning sticker Adult Imagery). With no E Street Band in the mix, the album is decorated with horns and strings and Springsteens novel falsetto on two his best efforts: "Marias Bed," where the narrator comes home to his woman after 40 nights on the road, and the fast-picking "All Im Thinkin About," where he has more than Carolina on his mind. A decade from now this will be an underrated record in the Springsteen chronicles. --Scott Holter
The Best of Bruce
by guest editor Steve Perry
Steve is editor-in-chief of City Pages newspaper in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle (1973)
After a folk-rockish debut album that bubbled with ideas and dense lyrical play, this is where Springsteen began to find his voice as a rocker and as a songwriter. The prisoner-of-love romanticism of "Rosalita" and "Incident on 57th Street" hinted at what was coming, and this early version of the E Street Band--jazzier and more spare than later versions, thanks largely to David Sancious's piano--sounds great, if a little ragged, these many years later.
Born to Run (1975) and Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)
These two records, which belong on any compilation of the top 100 rock albums of all time, sketched the themes that he would spend his whole career chasing, and defined the expectations fans would bring to his records ever after. The first chords of "Born to Run" sounded like freedom itself the first time I heard them on the radio, and the album lived up to them. "Thunder Road" is still the greatest rock & roll love song anyone's ever written. The record sounded so big and impassioned and propulsive it was easy to miss the dread running underneath it. Darkness... put the dread front and center. There are more of his best songs here than anywhere else, even if the sound is muddy and leaden at times.
Nebraska (1982)
After The River (the best record that didn't make this list) and the ensuing tour answered his rock & roll prayers--he was a big star now, not just a perennial critics' favorite--Springsteen holed up in a rented house on the Jersey shore, where he wrote these songs and sang them into a four-track recorder in his living room. The tape was supposed to be a demo for the band, but after several false tries he concluded that the tape he'd been carrying around in his pocket was the record. Quiet and bleak, Nebraska nonetheless grabbed you by the collar and made you listen as surely as his rock & roll records ever had.
Tunnel of Love (1987)
The glare and hubbub surrounding the Born in the USA tour (the tour was great--the record itself overrated) made him pull back again, this time to write a cycle of songs about love and fear and self-doubt. After this, Springsteen's first marriage broke up, and he started a family with Patti Scialfa, disappearing for the better part of 10 years, notwithstanding the pair of not bad, just disappointing albums he released in 1992, Human Touch and Lucky Town.
The Ghost of Tom Joad (1995)
Some call it Nebraska II, but his second acoustic album was not a repeat of his first--the characters and settings had changed, and their circumstances were more expressly desperate, and social--though it did share the same interest in what happens to people whose isolation or marginal status renders them invisible.
The Rising (2002)
Everybody--including Springsteen himself--seemed to think it was a record about 9/11, but the subject was broader: death and loss as seen from more than halfway down life's road. Dave Marsh nailed it: "A middle-aged man confronts death and chooses life." Brendan O'Brien's production sounds great.

Album Description
Devils & Angels is modern rock influenced by the melodic craftmanship of singer-songwriter piano men containing a sharp sense of pop hooks and harmonies. This album showcases frontman Chris Cron's soaring vocals and expressive piano playing and elevates Melee to heavenly places far beyond indie-alternative-pop-punk.
Customer Reviews:
Great Rock/Pop - Great Album........2007-07-08
I was pleasantly surprised by this quartet out of OC California. I'm not familiar with their previous independent release and will certainly be ordering it.
As one reviewer has already pointed out, the fantastic songwriting is truly the major draw of this album. There are plenty great hooks along with well written lyrics. Best of all, they write their own music. Fans of artists like Coldplay, Billy Joel, Elton John, etc. will likely find Melee very appealing.
Last time I checked, very few major chains are carrying this CD (hopefully, that will change soon), so thank you to Amazon!
Check out this fantastic group today!
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-25
Finally beautiful melodic pop music circa 2007. And I really thought Pop was surely headed for the dumpster with non melodic drone like pieces of hooks.
Songs! finally, real songs!
Melee, you have restored my faith in American pop music once again. I no longer have to rely on Brit pop for my craving for melody. There is still hope....
One of the best albums of the year so far.......2007-05-12
This album is amazing. It's one of the best ones I've bought this year. I mean, I knew it'd be good, but I didn't know it'd be that good.
MELEE is a great band.......2007-05-12
Loved the entire CD. Easy listening and very good songs. Makes you want to dance and sing along.
You must buy this album!.......2007-04-17
After hearing Melee's previous album, Everyday Behavior, I was really excited to hear what Devils & Angels would sound like. I was anticipating a great album, and I wasn't disappointed. These guys are true artists. Their songwriting is virtually flawless. There's songs to dance to & there's songs to chill to, but every song is just as amazing as the next.
Favorite Songs: Built to Last, She's Gonna Find Me Here, Can't Hold On, Love Carries On
Get this album; you'll be thrilled that you did!

Wonderful album!!.......2007-06-19
Love the album! I enjoyed every song, especially "Devils & Dust" and "Long Time Comin." I honestly think that this is Bruce' most creative album yet. Good work Bruce!! Keep it up.
As for the dualdisc issue, I have nothing to say because I bought the imported version for the same price to assure myself that I would be able to listen to this on my Ipod. I suggest all of you do the same if you want to avoid any problems.
Wonderful CD.......2007-06-12
This remains on of my favorites from Springsteen. Many great haunting ballads - the title song is one of his greatest unappreciated works. Highly recommended!
DEVILS & DUST...SPRINGSTEEN FOR THE THINKING MAN ! (and The Boss' best album since Born In The USA).......2007-05-30
Bruce Springsteen's Devils & Dust (2005) is an album of stark, intelligent songs with individual characters in each one. Sometimes Bruce portrays these characters himself, and other times he tells their stories. The people in these songs aren't living the American dream. Some just haven't made it yet, and others have had their lives shattered. Some, like the Mexican husband in Matamoros Banks, who dies trying to cross the border into America, never will. For the most part, these are scarred, broken lives, and even though most are fictional, they are real lives, lived by people with real feelings, and real dreams, just like you and me. Spingsteen makes his characters come to life, in a very personal way, just like John Steinbeck did with similar characters, in his novel, Cannery Row. Other than Jesus, who Bruce depicts as the very real, and very sensitive Son of God, in Jesus Was An Only Son, the people in these songs live in the poor, forsaken part of American society. If you judge people who are less fortunate to be inferior, this album will smack you right between the eyes. If you don't have it in you to empathize with these folks, or have a pathological need to always blame others for their own misfortune, these songs won't have any meaning for you at all.
Musically, the album is mostly acoustic guitar based, with a lot of harmonica, but nothing like Springsteen's Nebraska. Where that album was stripped down with only guitar and harmonica, Devils & Dust is also colored with mandolins, dobro, fiddle, electric guitars, drums, female backing vocals, piano, organ, horns, and an orchestra. The songs are dark, the songs are real, and the songs are very emotional. They fit Springsteen's voice well, and the musical arrangements fit the songs perfectly. Devils & Dust is a brilliant album, that may take a few listens to fully appreciate. If you don't like it at first, don't give up, just keep listening (while reading the lyrics) until it registers. When you do find meaning in these songs and characters, you'll be very satisfied that you took the time to understand this rewarding Bruce Springsteen album for the thinking man (or woman). Devils & Dust is The Boss doing what he does best. By looking at a small part of our world, we can see the whole universe with more clarity and compassion.
Unhappy With Purchase.......2007-03-21
I received a pirated CD which I had given to my girlfriend. It had a copied front cover in the CD and it doesn't play as it should. I will never purchase through Amazon again.
Once again heading down Woody's path..........2007-02-19
DEVILS & DUST continues Springsteen's occasional forays into the land of Woody Guthrie; Bare bones musical settings and telling stories that touch on the human condition. This one is more successful than the painful TOM JOAD, but it still suffers from a sense of ennui.The title cut with line s like "Fear's a powerful thing It can turn your heart black you can trust," is a memorable opener and the bitter taste of "Reno" lasts for a long time, but the overall effect is still one of Bruce reaching back for what he found on NEBRASKA and coming up a bit short.

Album Description
These road warriors from Detroit are back. This is, without a doubt, the most punishing and important album of their career. Traveling the world promoting "All Hail The Dead" with Fear Factory, Throwdown, From Autumn To Ashes, Bleeding Through, and Mastadon, these guys and gals have become notorious for putting on one of the best live shows metal and hardcore have seen in years. This will be put to the test with 11 new songs, as WOJ will undoubtedly reign supreme and deliver the most anticipated metal album of 2006.
Customer Reviews:
Candice could tear your face off..........2007-03-28
...and eat it for dinner and you'd still have a smile on your face after listening to this album! This entire album is pure insanity with crushing guitar riffs, pounding drums, and ear shattering screams! Between falling in dark love with this album and seeing them perform it live, all other hardcore bands seem to be striving for what Walls of Jericho has achieved. I can't even break down the individual songs because this album is in a class of it's own! Do Your self a favor and don't pass this one up!
There should be 6 stars for this one..........2006-12-16
This is an amazing album. For those of you familiar with WoJ, this is the absolute masterpiece form the band (so far... surely there is more greatness to come). For those not familiar, this is a perfect welcome to an amazing band. If you enjoy a heaping helping of hardcore with your metal, look no further. I am not talking about the dime-a-dozen breakdown bands polluting the airwaves today. Walls of Jericho own the scene. This is true hardcore. This is true metal. Without a doubt, the most well known aspect of the band is the fact that they have a female lead singer. Candace is one of the most talented and charismatic front-people of any hard music act working today. For fans of Terror, Hatebreed, Throwdown, etc... If you are looking for more female-fronted outfits, check out Light This City (think At The Gates), Arch Enemy (who doesn't know them by now?), Guano Apes (more hard rock than metal), Lacuna Coil (for the softer side of metal), etc...
This is the best hardcore band ever.......2006-12-02
They are better than Hatebreed!
It's not just about having a girl sing, musically they have blaring, energy filled riffs that are more energetic than any punk band, and then they pound it into you with as much for, as possible. This is perfect.
110% Improvement.......2006-09-15
After hearing the first single "Trigger Full Of Promises" on the headbangers ball cd i thought well this is a great improvement from their other albums. I decided to go ahead and give this album a chance and picked it up at best buy. After listening to the whole album i wondered if this was the same band.
The songwriting on this album has improved so much. the guitar riffs are much more intricate and thrashy, the drums are fast, pounding and full of brutal fills, and the vocals are very angry and brutal. The breakdowns are much improved as well. I know people wont agree with me on this one but i feel most of these breakdowns are better than the new unearth album.
Each song stands out on its own for each specific reason which is good cause it gives you an album that you have to listen to from start to finish. The most suprising element about this album is the ballad song which is number 9. The singer actually sings and sound really good and it has a nice solo in the song. It remings me of lacuna coil. It is also a good break between the destruction so you can catch your breath before the last two punishing tracks.
I suggest this album for anyone that likes unearth, shadows fall or any band that has either thrash elements or who likes great breakdowns. Go pick it up cause they deserve the exposure!!!
Buy this if you're looking for some really good heavy music.......2006-08-23
Walls of Jericho (Detroit's hardest working hardcore band) have made their tightest album to date "With Devil's Amongst Us". The song's here hit the mark every time with vicious, heavy guitar driven hardcore led by Candace's penetrating vocals. The lyrics here have meaning and purpose. The guitar work is brutal, pummeling fast and non-stop.
The songs on this disc have a more structured feel compared to the more free form hardcore style on their previous albums. All of the tracks here are good. Some standouts:
Track 1 - "A Trigger full of Promises" has one of the best lines on the album "If I load this gun, would you hold it to your heart and give your life for love"
Track 2 - "I know Hollywood and you ain't it" at 00:54 seconds, the guitar has this heavy old school thrash feel to it which carries through the rest of the song. Good stuff
Track 3 - "Hope you Die" is a quintessential Walls of Jericho song with demon speed guitar & magnum force vocals that make you want to tear *stuff* up.
Track 6 - "The Haunted" starts off slow & eerie with this chanting then gets going. The chanting turns into the chorus. Makes for a good fight song!
Track 9 - "No Saving Me" is a great mellow tune that shows off the band's musical talent. Plus Candace really flexes her singing skills (Reminds me of Angel off of 'The Bound Feed the Gagged').
This album is a must for Walls of Jericho fans. It should be required for any hardcore or metal fan. If you dig it & want to hear more Walls of Jericho check out 'The Bound Feed the Gagged' and 'All Hail the Dead'. Plus if you ever get a chance to see these guys live, do it. They are one of the most intense bands you'll ever see.

Customer Reviews:
THIS IS THE MOVIE on CD.......2007-04-07
This really isn't a music soundtrack it is the dialogue from the best scenes in the movie... It includes Colonel Kurtz whispering "The horror... .............. the horror....." (trail end of last track), reciting The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot, or the dialogue including "... you're an errand boy ...sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill." For true ( possibly obsessive) fans of the movie or Brando this is a must.
Great Idea, Terrible Execution.......2006-10-12
I am unbelivably disappointed in this offering. Never in the field of soundtracks for movies about human conflict has so little been delivered when so much is deserved... Never has a movie begged for a soundtrack that incorporates much of the dialogue with the score, and never has said soundtrack failed so miserably. What are the two iconic scenes from the movie? Of course, the river skiing scene to the tune of 'Satisfaction', and the unforgettable attack on the village by the Air Cav with Wagner blaring on the speakers. Well guess what, kids? Satisfaction is deleted COMPLETELY, and the most moving scene in the movie (the attack on the village) is given about two minutes, and does not include much of the cockpit conversations (such as the errant flare), the radio chatter concerning the downed chopper, the call for the air strike, or the warning from the jets, "get back, this is going to be a big one". Buying this cd is like buying a 2001 Space Odyssey soundtrack without Strauss... DO NOT BUY THIS ABORTION!
One of those cds for a long car ride... deep into the jungle.......2002-07-04
It's one of those films that gets under your skin, isn't it? And now you want more, you want the soundtrack. You want to go deeper into the jungle.....
This double-cd album can do this. It's part The Doors, part soliloquy/voice over by Martin Sheen, and part Carmine Coppola & Walter Murch compositions (Academy Award winning). Yet the voice overs by Martin Sheen as Captain Willet are the prized recordings here. Interspersed with genuine jungle sounds, Marlon Brando and his brilliant Warrior poetry and Asian gongs and bells, the Willet dialogue tracks are intoxicating, a dark euphoric madness that holds true to Joseph Conrad's theme in the novel.
So is this soundtrack for you? Not if you're expecting the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" or the complete compositions of Carmine Coppola. His works can be found on the Apocalypse Now Redux album which completely abandons what Joseph Conrad tried to impart to us in the first place. That cd contains the scores and orchestral work if that's what you want. Only the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack has "... the horror... the horror...."
Listen to the film..........2001-06-28
This is not your typical movie soundtrack, and it is a refreshing approach. Basically this 2CD set plays like a condensed version of the film, with all of the highlights captured in dialogue, sound, etc. The music is worked into these audio "scenes" nicely. "The End" is also featured here in a stunning mix that matches the visuals of this great war film. Even if you haven't seen the film, this soundtrack will certainly intrigue and even excite.
Truly the sound track (not just music).......2000-09-17
Half of the soundtrack is dialog. So what do you think a soundtrack is? If it is the music you are after, most sound tracks pail compared to the original, with the exception of original music for the movie. If it is the significant dialog and feel for the movie, this soundtrack has what the maker thinks is significant. I agree with the choices.

Pretty Good .......2007-04-04
I originally bought this CD for the Song In My Hood, but there are also other pretty good songs like There's Something About Mary, and Real Gangsta.
Moving Mountains From Prison .......2007-02-27
Spm/Carlos Coy, my home boy. This is his first album from prison. It was released at number 19 on album sales in the world. This is for a rapper who gets little to no radio play. This has never happened in any music genre let alone underground rap. This is the dopest music to come from anywhere and if you cant feel it then your hater. I dont care if your a fan or were a fan. He started out with 100 tapes, were you down then? Stop hatin and runnin your d--k sucking mouths. Cell Block 11 Screwston, Texas.
Blazing the path with a new jailhouse beat!.......2007-01-04
SPM is takin Houston and Dope House Records to the top with this latest hit "Real Gangsta". Live it, love it.... gotto have it!
He's Still The King Of H-Town.......2006-11-30
To be locked up. This is a great cd.I always have been an SPM fan for a long time. I listen to other people cd that was locked up also. To me, he has the best cd out to be locked up. Hope he gets out soon.
Not SPM's best but then again he was on lockdown........2006-11-14
If You are new to SPM, understand that I think he is talented and that he has many great songs:Bloody War, You know my name, Ooh Wee, Habitual Criminal, Wiggy Wiggy,etc. But this album is another thing.
With all the drama in SPMs life I can understand that he couldnt focus all his attention on this album. Still, this is music and I'm judging it for what it is, not for how good it could have been, I know it coul've been better. Basically, I think that this album is not too good. It's one of the only spm CDs that I own that I'd consider selling to a used cd store. As for songs, I'd keep "In my hood", "Real gangsta", maybe one more, i've listened to it like 3 times today and I don't feel that any of the songs sunk in well, like they did in the past. This is my honest opinion and I'm a true fan of this sub genre of rap, I have many SPM Albums, Latino velvet, Baby Bash, Kid Frost, etc

A great soundtrack .......2007-06-18
i really enjoyed this soundtrack and i continue to listen to it from time to time (though i am no big soundtrack fan, the other one that i also listen to is the Fight Club one). Its full to the brim with the sort of vibrance and rhythm you'd expect from good, upbeat electronica and carries sort of a grotesque, cyberpunk aura that is fitting for a game that combines a range of themes from Lovecraft to the Matrix.

It's just a bunch of drums........2002-09-16
When I first bought this album it was in '83 in a used record
store in Frederick MD, down on Market st. I asked the guy behind
the counter if I could hear a cut and he said, "It's just a bunch
of drums." Later when I went back to CO I put it on for my mates
very early one morning and it was probably one of the coolest
albums we had ever heard. Truly scary. It will have you in it's
grip until it blows you up softly. I think Mickey Hart is pretty
much running the show on this one. Hells Bells.

Let this CD take you to the jungle. Mickey Hart and Co. use pecussion to help you with that trip.
Too bad this is such a short album, because the rhythms are so awe-inspiring! You just don't want the album to stop! I can't believe I'm hearing this!
Only the Rhythm Devils (and Mickey Hart in particular) can evoke the images of places that you can travel to while listening. It is hard to describe but his percussion arrangements with the other famous musicans around the world does this!
Check out the closing track - Napalm for Breakfast to test your stereo speakers.
Just an awesome album. Mickey will continue making superb albums that will take the listener to other places and beyond!
Hart's best, but, another update sure would be nice........2000-08-28
One of the best percussion records ever (as someone pointed out earlier) got a little bit better when released on CD. The technically excellent recording was finally unshackled from a horrible vinyl pressing. Previously unreleased material was added to this release, and some resequencing was done, bringing a short running time out to a little over 38 minutes.
The music is absolutely stunning. This is real-time scoring work, with the Dead's backline getting a lot of help from their friends (including Airto and Flora). This is primal, unforced, experimental, and raw, making for a listening experience unlike any other. The insert is informative, with insights into the creation of the music, and including a fair amount of technical detail on the recording and mastering processes.
While "Napalm For Breakfast" will be a brutal low frequency response test of you system, it's time for another update. At a minimum, a two channel, 24/96 & 24/192 Classic Records release.
A very acquired taste, and very recommended.
Best persussion CD Ever!.......1999-12-01
The Rhythm Devils are true genuises. I bought this CD years ago, but just brought it back out into my rotation. No one else could have captured the feeling of the movie except for Mickey Hart. This is my favorite Hart CD. Truly a classic.

Loved it.......2006-07-25
This album is great!! I like gothic flimmish bands alot. Him being my favorite band of all time. The 69 eyes have copied 80's bands, but they form their own kind of music and style. Which is why I recommend that if you like flimmish bands, gothic bands, or you like the music that Bam Margera listens to. Then buy it!!!!!!!!!!!
An amazing album.......2006-07-13
After hearing select songs by The 69 Eyes and hearing their name over and over again, I finally decided to purchase "Devils", and I thank myself every day for it! With a similarity to Sisters of Mercy, Jyrki, Jussi, Bazie, Archzie, and Timo-Timo bring a blend of deep rock that is guaranteed to shake you. The vocals are incredible, the choruses are catchy, and the lyrics make you sing in the shower! This is an album to blast out your windows as you drive down the boulevard. Not only that, but if you ever get a chance to catch a show, I HIGHLY recommend it! These Finnish rockers have more energy than any band I've ever seen and are incredible performers!!
If you "wanna rock!", BUY "DEVILS"!!!!!!!!
This band rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-07-02
For anyone that doesn't know this band very well, this is the cd you should pick up first. All of the 69 eyes cds are all catchy but this one is for people just started listening to them. A damn great cd with songs that you'll find youself singing all day long. The song Lost Boys kickass it rocks and its based off a an old movie called Lost Boys. The whole cd is great.
Buy this cd.......2006-03-05
I passed by this cd a thousand times at my local record store. I thought that the band looked cool and the price was cheap but I never bought it. A couple of days ago I decided to pick it up and am I glad I did. This cd is great and for the money you cant beat it. I am a huge fan of Danzig, The misfits, Type o negative, HIM, and Depeache mode and if your are into any of these bands you might enjoy the 69 eyes style of music. Its dark and slow but hard and heavy. The vocals sound great,even better than Type o negative. After listening to this cd a few times I decided to buy everything I could find from the band. I paid $20 plus on each of the other six cds. After listening to the other cds I found that I liked everthing from 1999 up but the cds before were more glam-rock hair metal, too much so for my taste. But all in all the 69 eyes are great so pick them up and enjoy.
one of the best releases of 2005 for america.......2006-02-21
Finally, good music is being released in America again! I bought this album after falling in love with the track "August Moon" and couldn't have made a better decision. There is not a bad track on this album. If you're into the whole goth rock deal, this band is for you.

in the begining...........2005-02-22
This is one of the best, IF NOT THE BEST, rock groups in the last fifteen years. I never got to see them live in person but have seen numerous videos and regret not seeing them every time I listen to any of their albums or dead low tides albums. Buy any of Murder City Devils albums and you have purchased one of the most under rated rock bands of all time. I only wish that they hadn't of called it quits.........
drunk and angry? you just may fall in love..........2003-12-08
alright - so as the years wear on, i find myself seperating from the punk scene because once 1000 bands all do the same sound, it starts getting really old. i wandered over into the psychobilly/rockabilly arena for a while, sampled some reggae, checked out some of the straight up rock n'roll bands, but nothing revved me up like punk rock did when i was new to the scene until i heard this band for the first time about a month ago. it's been on steady repeat ever since.
fun angry drunk-core punk n'roll with an organ. it's unreal how good this album is. i only wish this band hadn't broken up. i'm eagerly awaiting my next paycheck so i can buy up the rest of MCD's discography.

[Forget] everyone this is a brilliant record.
This is the best band out of Seatle since Zeke.........2000-05-04
This band shows that even in a city of plaid wearin wussies and pearl jam fairies there is still a cool scene.
"Some people were born to rock 'n' roll...".......1999-11-04
The best thing outta the NW since the disbanding of the Derelicts, Zipgun and the Mono Men, the Murder City Devils are the darkest, dampest and dirtiest crevices in your mind uncovered. Things that kill, wrench and twist you apart inside, the unhealed knots in your stomach and the demons pounding in your head are amplified and exorcised by MCD's distinct, tight and cohesive rock 'n' roll. Turn out the lights, curl up alone, turn up the stereo and be cleansed.
