There is a Springsteen vibe in the air, yes there is. And I will chime in with a bit of glee, as I like the guy's stuff, generally.
But that "Ghost" album . . . am I the only one who found it to be wholly repetitive, both musically and thematically? I mean, Springsteen has never been one to wander far from the A Adim Aaug A structure, but this record sounds to me like it was written and recorded under towels.
I think that this is my off-kilter way of appreciating DB's albums. I can listen to them all the way through without feeling like I heard the same song over and over. Of course, there is "new Bruce" that I have not heard. Surely someone will set me straight.

PS: I do like these lines from Bruce:
"Life is a box of chocolates
you never know what you're gonna get
Stupid is as stupid does
and all the rest of that shit."
