This is not an album that is going to knock you back, there will never be another “Greetings From Asbury Park,” or a “The Wild, The Innocent & The East Street Shuffle” . Bruce began this introspective journey somewhere during the release of “Tunnel Of Love,” and while every now and then there is a blazing spark to remind us of what brought him to the attention of the world . for the most part, Bruce seems to be playing with an electric folk sort of sound, much as The Byrds did in the mid 60’s. So if you reset you mind, there is nothing disappointing here . it is all just different. One of the major differences is that the music feels thick, as if there are actually no spaces what so ever . the sound is all inclusive and all encompassing, leaving you barely any room to talk a breath.
it s as if he has actually learned to play, or perhaps he s taken some cues after all of these years form those around him, like Nils; who is nothing short of top shelf when it comes to guitar playing. Other than these pressing quality defects, the album is good very good, and I can hear already some of the musical trends Bruce s music did take in the future, trends that, as a long time Bruce fan, I do not particularly like.

Bruce Springsteen – Magic
5/5 as a Bruce album. 4/5 due to the mediocre pressing. I’m assuming this is repressed from the 2007 version so they’re essentially the same pressings. This is a very underrated Bruce & E Street Band record. Highly recommended!!
BigPiet Jul 12, 2022 Edited one year agoSuch an ordinary pressing of a great Springsteen LP. Not the normal hard rock you get from him, more commercially inclined. But the sound is so ordinary, sounds like they recorded, mixed and pressed it in the toilet.
waggs86 May 7, 2021I don't get the hate or non-enthusiasm for this album. Its one of Bruce's best song writing wise. The vinyl version sounds great, though its not a super awesome A+ cut, but its definitely not terrible for the ears and quite.
dtheduke11 Mar 24, 2021I dunno everyone says this sounds good but its kinda flat sounding to me. No pounding drums or bass like on my cd copy. This is kinda average when i wanna hear this album im just gonna listen to the cd
fborrull May 10, 2020 Edited 3 years agoFirs U.S. pressing, brand new album that came warped and dirty, with noticeable marks on both sides that did not go away after cleaning the record twice. In addition to that, lots of surface noise that are specially bothering in the song 'Magic.' Finally, I have not put this to a scale, but I highly doubt this is 180 gram vinyl as the hype sticker claims.
Other than these pressing quality defects, the album is good/very good, and I can hear already some of the musical trends Bruce's music did take in the future, trends that, as a long time Bruce fan, I do not particularly like. This is very notable in a song like 'I'll Work for Your Love' (it reminds so much to the upcoming 'Working on a Dream'). This is the last E Street Album with Danny Federici on keyboards.
My copy also has 'Terry's Song' at the end. I believe it should be added to the release.
P.S.: BTW, I bought this album when it came out, and I was checking my order details from AZ, and I paid $13.28. This is how 'cheap' new albums were at the time (2007), when barely anybody was buying vinyl records.
peptar Feb 27, 2020NB: My copy does have 'Terry's Song' at the end, unlisted. Have not amended release as don't know if this is standard or whether two versions of the LP may exist.
cacozambra66 Feb 13, 2019 Edited 4 years agoWish the entire CD sounded like track "Magic" with distinct instruments and not a wall of sound like most of CD is. A real pity as the songs IMHO are the best since "Born in the USA". Until a better mix is availbale guess we are stuck with this clearly inferior mix of the CD.
eddy_wehbe Dec 28, 2016 This should edited to reflect it being an unofficial/pirate release. streetmouse Jun 12, 2014Man O Man, don’t you love it when an artist does a 180 . not only their voice but their songs almost unrecognizable . well that’s just what Bruce Springsteen has done here on “Magic,” delivering a splendidly personal album . one on which the songs reminded me of the late Warren Zevon, yet wrapped around the delivery and sophistication of Bryan Ferry. Bruce has turned a major corner here, driving us home like a “Gypsy Biker” to a whole new set of sounds.
Rather then the music being the center of attention, Bruce has continued his introspective journey, determining who he is, as both a wealthy man, a man who needs for nothing, yet still yearns because there is a burning in his heart for not only the music, but for a passion . yet I don’t believe he has discovered just who he is, nor what he's passionate about . other then the music itself. But that's not an odd thing in the least, I've been searching for myself my whole life . in my head I'm still twenty one, in my head I can still rock all night, in my head my feet still have wings . and yes, I struggle when I try to determine just who I am at this stage. I do know that I spend a lot of time observing, seeing things for what they actually are, feeling truth . and perhaps that's where Bruce is at also, and his passion is trying to find that voice, that voice, like a warm hand caressing a lovers skin, finally moving right in time with her.
I for one am willing to wait, because here on “Magic” Bruce still manages to conjure the magic out of his signature guitar sound, but more, there is the feel that his guitar is now his friend, rather then an extension of himself . it’s as if he has actually learned to play, or perhaps he’s taken some cues after all of these years form those around him, like Nils; who is nothing short of top shelf when it comes to guitar playing . and come to think of it, several of his songs have that early Nils vib going on. Make no mistake, below the vocals rest all of the instrumental work one would expect from Bruce, in all of their glory, it’s just that he no longer feels the need to smack you up side the head with it. All of the musicians sound centered and at peace . the sax played by Clarence floats like smoke, while the rest of the band rolls on . with complete enchantment.
This is not an album that is going to knock you back, there will never be another “Greetings From Asbury Park,” or a “The Wild, The Innocent & The East Street Shuffle” . Bruce began this introspective journey somewhere during the release of “Tunnel Of Love,” and while every now and then there is a blazing spark to remind us of what brought him to the attention of the world . for the most part, Bruce seems to be playing with an electric folk sort of sound, much as The Byrds did in the mid 60’s. So if you reset you mind, there is nothing disappointing here . it is all just different. One of the major differences is that the music feels thick, as if there are actually no spaces what so ever . the sound is all inclusive and all encompassing, leaving you barely any room to talk a breath.
Me? I don’t want to keep buying the same albums over and over again . his last few releases have been a breath of fresh air for me, and I’m enjoying them . yeah, it may be my age, it may be Bruce’s age . but his music speaks to me on a face to face level, and therein lies the magic.

Reviews for "Embassy Suites Magic Mountain: Your Home Away from Home"
1. John - 1 star
I had a terrible experience at Embassy Suites Magic Mountain. The hotel was extremely outdated and in need of a renovation. The carpets were stained, the furniture was worn out, and the walls were dirty. The room smelled musty and there was no air conditioning, making it very uncomfortable during the hot summer days. The staff was unhelpful and unfriendly. I will definitely not be staying here again.
2. Emily - 2 stars
I was disappointed with my stay at Embassy Suites Magic Mountain. The room was not as clean as I expected it to be and there were hairs in the bathroom. The walls were thin, so I could hear the noise from the neighboring rooms. The breakfast was a letdown, with limited options and mediocre quality. The location wasn't convenient either, as it was quite far from the main attractions. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel to others.
3. Jennifer - 2 stars
Embassy Suites Magic Mountain did not meet my expectations. The room I stayed in had a strange smell and the carpet was dirty. The beds were uncomfortable and the pillows were too flat. The Wi-Fi was slow and unreliable, making it difficult to get any work done. The pool area was crowded and lacked cleanliness. The only positive aspect was the friendly staff, but that alone wasn't enough to compensate for the overall subpar experience. I won't be returning to this hotel in the future.
