1. So you'd say The Rising is more of a concept where all the songs make the best sense together and that Magic is more like a collection of good songs?

    Not a concept album as such - at least in the sense of a bigger album e.g. The Last Temptation, Quadrophenia, The Wall, I Robot etc (all fantastic albums by the way) but it has ideas behind it and maybe he's telling stories from a third-person point of view. In that case, yes.

    Magic is really just a straight-up rock and roll album of good songs and that's why I like it.
  3. But does Magic have songs that more kinda fit together? With a more common theme.

  4. Not really now that I think about it.
  5. Ok... then I'm still about as torned between the two.


  6. Or I'll get both because I don't know what that last album will be
  7. After the ones you'd chosen that you did want, how many could you choose after that?

    Do you like guitar rock?


  8. I have two more albums to choose, and I've decided at least one of them shall be with the Boss

    I like good guitar rock But I don't like bad. But yes, I like some good guitar work, but not when it gets really messy and it's just a showoff of how many notes on can play fastly, it has to have some melody

    It definitely is a show-off of how he plays but he does all the singing and wrote most of the lyrics with a melody. If you know how Jim Morrison sings, Joe has the same kind of vocal style and most times it works for the songs. There's a couple of real fillers on there but mostly it's a nice guitar album.


  10. Sounds like it could be good. How important is the second disc?

  11. It's a dual-disc which means you've got the CD audio on the first side and the DVD on the second. All the DVD has is the songs in surround sound and a 25-minute documentary - you see his guitars and what he plays, video of a trip to Japan and how the songs were created. Nice addition but not essential.

    So just one disc. If you're not sure you can play region 0 DVDs then just find the regular CD. Below's a video of the first song on the album.
