Rock god Bruce Springsteen's new album, his most anticipated in years, is inching closer to its release date and a source told the The Hollywood Reporter this week that it’s The Boss’ 'angriest' record yet.

'He gets into economic justice quite a bit,' a source confirmed who's heard some of the new tracks.

'It's very rock ’n’ roll. He feels it's the angriest album he's ever made. Bear in mind, though, that Springsteen wrote and recorded the majority of the album before the Occupy movements started, so he's not just setting headlines to music,' the source concluded.
