'Dream' worth 5 stars?

Rolling Stone gave Bruce Springsteen's new album, Working on a Dream, a five star review. I know he's The Boss and all, but I listened to the album and I'm not convinced it's quite that good, considering how few perfect scores the magazine has doled out over the past decade (approximately 15). Rolling Stone also gave 5 stars to Springsteen's 2002 release, The Rising, so maybe RS reviewers have a soft spot in their hearts for Bruce. Check the Arts in Review section on Friday for the Collegian review of the album, which may or may not be as kind. Also, NPR is streaming the entire album for free, so you can decide for yourself.
