High Hopes garnered some mixed, but mostly positive, reception from music critics . At Metacritic , the album holds a weighted average Metascore of 67 out of 100, based upon 37 reviews, indicating generally favorable reception. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic rated it three-and-a-half stars, stating that "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." At Rolling Stone , David Fricke rated the album four-and-a-half stars, writing that "The cumulative effect of this mass of old, borrowed, blue and renewed – covers, recent outtakes and redefining takes on two classics – is retrospect with a cutting edge, running like one of the singer's epic look-ma-no-set-list gigs: full of surprises, all with a reason for being there." Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly graded the album a B, stating that the release "crackles with immediacy, despite the cobbled-together nature of the material." At The Independent , Andy Gill rated the album four stars, noting that "Though lacking the thematic unity one expects from Springsteen albums, High Hopes has much to recommend it, particularly the way that Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has re-invigorated old material". Leonie Cooper of NME rated the album an eight out of ten, writing that Springsteen is "Still the Boss". Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune gave the album 2 stars out of 4 saying "if there's a thread tying these disparate tunes together, it's the singer's desire to update his sound". The writer praises song like "Just Like Fire Would" comparing it to other classic Springsteen covers such as "Trapped" and "Jersey Girl" and felt songs like "American Skin (41 Shots)", which improved upon its live version, "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and "Dream Baby Dream" are the "main attractions" of the record.

Morello also inspired the performances of two covers that ended up being recorded. " Just Like Fire Would " is a cover of Australian punk rock band The Saints ' 1986 single, while "Dream Baby Dream" is a cover of the protopunk band Suicide 's 1979 single. A version of Springsteen's cover of "Dream Baby Dream" was released in September 2013 as a music video tribute to the fans who attended the Wrecking . In 2005, Springsteen closed out shows on his solo Devils and Dust Tour performing the song on a mellotron. According to Aniello, songs such as "Cold Spot", "Hey Blue Eyes", "American Beauty" and "Mary Mary" were among the 20 songs recorded that did not make the final cut.

The album also features songs that were originally written for other albums, such as "Harry's Place", a song written in 2001 and intended originally for The Rising ; "Heaven's Wall", "Down in the Hole", and "Hunter of Invisible Game", which all date from 2002–2008; and "The Wall", which Springsteen wrote around 1998 based on an idea from Joe Grushecky . "The Wall" tells the story of Springsteen's visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC , and memories of Walter Cichon, a New Jersey musician who did not return home from the Vietnam War. "Walter was one of the great early Jersey Shore rockers, who along with his brother Ray (one of my early guitar mentors) led the Motifs. The Motifs were local rock bands who were always a head above everybody else. Raw, sexy and rebellious, they were the heroes you aspired to be," Springsteen explained.

Re: Альбом со своей полки. Автор:finДата: 09.02.14 15:50:40
High Hopes is a first for Springsteen: a studio album composed entirely of covers, outtakes and remained versions of songs from past albums and tours. "The best way to describe this record," Springsteen said, "is that's its a bit of an anomaly but not much. I don't really work linearly like a lot of people do." The album's title track and first single, "High Hopes", was originally recorded in 1995 and released on the Blood Brothers (EP) . According to Springsteen, Morello suggested they perform the song during the Wrecking Ball Tour, which ultimately led to it being re-recorded. " American Skin (41 Shots) " was originally written in 2000 in response to the death of Amadou Diallo . A live version was released on Live in New York City while the studio version was released on a rare 2001 promo CD. During the Wrecking Ball Tour , Springsteen started to perform the song again as a tribute to Trayvon Martin . " The Ghost of Tom Joad " was the first single from the 1995 album of the same name and has been performed many times, often featuring Morello on guitar and trading vocals with Springsteen. The track had been covered by Morello's former band, Rage Against the Machine , in a 1997 video , and later appeared on their album Renegades .

Aniello stated 20 songs were recorded for the album. Aniello said, "The thing with Bruce is that he accepts his inspiration without question, he doesn't analyze it. But when it comes time to analyze, that's when he turns the screws on everything. Then he'll go back and forth with sequences for months and months until he gets it exactly where he wants it. I don't see that in any other artist that I work with. It's usually like, 'What's a good sequence?' And then, 'Oh, the hit sounds good first. Then the bad songs should go at the end.' That's not how Bruce does it. He has a story to tell. We recorded a lot and at first it was a much longer record. Bruce did the same thing with Wrecking Ball . I have the piece of paper with all 15 or whatever songs on it, and he draws a line through the last four and goes, 'This is it. Let's take these four off.' It was like a knife in my heart. I was like, 'Those are my favorites!' At the end of the day, though, he's always right. It's gotta work as a piece. This was a much bigger experiment because it was so different. There was a little more back and forth with it".

In March 2013, the day before Springsteen flew to Australia to resume touring, he went to Los Angeles. Aniello and Springsteen did mixes, and Springsteen posed for the album pictures. Aniello said Springsteen was "working his ass off, just working his ass off. I've never seen someone his age work like that. He put in a 15-hour day in the studio." During their time in Australia, Springsteen and the E Street Band (minus Steven Van Zandt , who was off filming his television series, Lilyhammer ) were joined by Tom Morello (Van Zandt's replacement). The band spent its off time recording new music, although at the time there were no specific plans for a new album. Aniello said recording in Australia was a spontaneous decision that was possible because recording engineer Nick DiDia was there to work with the band. More recording took place at various studios around the USA, including Springsteen's personal home studio in New Jersey , Atlanta , New York City and Nashville .

Work on the album started on December 9, 2012. Springsteen called Aniello to discuss some demos of older songs that had never been finished. Finding time to record the album proved to be difficult due the band's being halfway through the Wrecking Ball Tour . Aniello began production on the album in Los Angeles while the band toured. Aniello said, "He was gone most of the time, so we weren't able to sit in a room and sort it out all. It all happened in a very unusual manner. But once we got started on it and he started to uncover what it was exactly it was . . . It just took the most part of a year for him to figure it out. I'm not sure what he had in mind from the beginning, but this is what we ended up with".

The album features Springsteen's regular backing band, the E Street Band , and guitarist Tom Morello . Contributions from deceased E Street Band members, Clarence and Danny Federici , are also included. Co-produced by Ron Aniello , Brendan O'Brien and Bruce Springsteen, the album was preceded by the single " High Hopes ", and is a collection of cover songs , out-takes and re-imagined versions of tracks from past albums, EPs and tours. A week following the album's release, a music video for “Just Like Fire Would " was released January 22, 2014.Springsteen said that the new music was "some of our best unreleased material from the past decade" and among the best of his writing and deserved a proper studio recording.

В психиатрии фобией принято называть патологически повышенное проявление реакции страха на тот или иной раздражитель. Фобия — это сильно выраженный упорный навязчивый страх, необратимо обостряющийся в определённых ситуациях и не поддающийся полному логическому объяснению.

Несмотря на то, что Джордан известен больше как рок-клавишник, он имеет ряд работ в стиле нью-эйдж, которые в большинстве своём представляют собой продолжительные фортепианные композиции, а иногда — композиции, сделанные на основе синтезаторов. В таких работах часто заметно влияние классического образования в виде сложных как в плане восприятия, так и в плане исполнения, проигрышей. Более приближенные к стилю эмбиент композиции были в совместных работах с Ричардом Лейнхартом, а также в концертных работах — например, вступление на фестивале Moogfest. В качестве своих любимых электронных музыкантов Рудесс называет таких исполнителей, как Autechre и Aphex Twin. Также в одном из интервью Рудесс крайне положительно отозвался о первом клавишнике Dream Theater — Кевине Муре.

Джордан Рудесс известен разнообразием своих музыкальных вкусов. Так, ещё во время обучения в школе Juilliard он успел полюбить The Beatles, а позже — Emerson, Lake & Palmer, группу, которая открыла для Рудесса новое направление в музыке и во многом способствовала выбору профессии рок-клавишника. Впоследствии Рудесс брал уроки у клавишника ELP — Кита Эмерсона. Изначальное увлечение прогрессив-роком привело Рудесса к таким группам, как Gentle Giant, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd и King Crimson, которые он указывает в числе своих любимых групп.

Джордан Рудесс (Jordan Charles Rudess; 4 ноября 1956) — американский музыкант, клавишник, участник прогрессив-метал группы США Dream Theater. На сегодняшний день, Рудесс является одним из самых техничных клавишников в тяжёлой музыке, его признание пришло благодаря сочетанию высокоскоростных партий (шреду) с мелодичностью и атмосферной игрой. После его пришествия в Dream Theater, группа записала концептуальный альбом Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, считающимся фанатами и критиками самым удачным релизом группы.
Re: Альбом со своей полки. Автор:finДата: 08.02.14 19:44:25
In addition to playing in DREAM THEATER, Rudess, voted "Best Keyboardist of All Time" by Music Radar magazine, is the president of a successful music app development company Wizdom Music, creators of award-winning apps such as Morph Wiz, Sample Wiz, and Geo Synthesizer. Jordan has worked with a wide range of artists including LMR, his newest side project with Tony Levin and Marco Minneman; LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT; David Bowie; Steven Wilson; Aviv Geffen; DIXIE DREGS; Rod Morgenstein; Enrique Iglesias; Tony Williams; Jan Hammer; and the PAUL WINTER CONSORT.
