Bruce Springsteen released his 20th studio album on Friday, Nov. 11, titled \u201cOnly The Strong Survive.\u201d The 73-year-old rock \u2019n\u2019 roll legend is still producing music with his original bluesy rock sound.\u00a0\u00a0
The opening song of the first track shares the album\u2019s title and delivers a great soulful, raspy voice sound that sets the tone for the following songs. \u201cThe Boss\u201d does not deter from his signature sound; then again, why fix something that ain\u2019t broke? If you are a fan of Springsteen\u2019s music then you will be a fan of this album.  
Jumping right onto the next song, \u201cSoul Days,\u201d Springsteen features a frequent collaborator \u2014  the very talented soul singer Sam Moore. Moore is the only feature on the album, appearing in \u201cSoul Days\u201d and \u201cI Forgot to be Your Lover.\u201d 
As someone who tends to focus more on the lyrics when listening to music I noticed that much of the content in this album caters to the baby-boomer generation. There is a theme of reminiscence to a time that many younger members of society, myself included, were not alive for. That being said, even if you didn\u2019t witness the era directly, but are a fan of the music, you may still find it enjoyable.  
Springsteen eloquently slows down the mood of the album with \u201cNightshift\u201d before diving into contrasting love songs. He seems to cover both sides of the coin with the love songs on this album, alternating between the desire to be with someone you love and the anguish of lost love. It is particularly interesting to hear him still hold onto the style of lyrics that involve specific names of make believe characters. It\u2019s something Springsteen always did, as did many other artists of the \u201970s and \u201980s, but it is cool to see it survive even in 2022 music production. It shows that he is still holding onto his roots. 
I happen to be friends with some Springsteen superfans who share an undying love for \u201cThe Boss.\u201d But in their perspective, his newer music is nowhere near as iconic as his older albums. I mean \u201cBorn in the U.S.A.\u201d is an anthem of a generation and one of the top three most sold albums in music history; it\u2019s pretty hard to compete with that. 
However, there were some noticeably strong works of art on this album. The use of trumpets and violins in \u201cThe Sun Ain\u2019t Going to Shine Anymore\u201d made for a beautiful orchestral sound that complimented Springsteen\u2019s strained vocals.  
Love song \u201cTurn Back the Hands of Time\u201d had an ironic double meaning as this album would have done significantly better if it was released 30 to 40 years ago. \u201cThe Boss\u201d kills it again though, showing that he still has incredible range and passion through his vocals in \u201cWhen She Was My Girl\u201d.  
Overall, \u201cOnly the Strong Survive\u201d was a very solid, cohesive Springsteen album. If you go in expecting him to try out new musical tactics you will be disappointed, but for the millions of fans who love Springsteen for who he is, I\u2019m sure you won\u2019t be too upset. It likely won\u2019t gain any significant attention in the public eye, but it was nice to see that an artist is still doing what he loves.
