Pros:"Wrap your arms 'round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines."
Cons: In 1975, Bruce Springsteen couldn't sing. It's not his "magnum opus."
This is a tricky one.Bruce Springsteen is an American icon; he's given this world countless anthems; he's experimented with his sound and changed his image over the years, successfully adapting himself to the times. I've had the privilege of ...
I can still remember it as clear as anything: I was about twelve years old and visiting friends in New Jersey. I wandered into a K-Mart and into the record department where I first caught glimpse of the album cover. "Yeah," I thought, "That's that ...
Pros: everything...seriously Cons: DNA: does not apply
I've been listening to the new Green Day record, American Idiot, just about non-stop in the car and at home since I purchased it on Tuesday on my lunch break. It's an extremely solid record, and in what has been a weak year for rock, is ...
Pros: Earnest, accessible, grandiose, and wonderful. Cons: Unfairly designated Springsteen's best album.
I've been writing about Bruce Springsteen for three reviews now - four if you count my review for Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell, which discussed Bruce's Born to Run almost as much as it did the album in question - and it's been brought to my ...
Pros: Read the review! Cons: These days this CD costs around 7 (seven) bucks. That’s sacrilege. I wanna pay more.
How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb? Border Collie: Just one. And then I’ll replace any wiring that’s not up to code. Rottweiler: Make me. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? ...
Pros: an album's worth of rock anthems for a generation; Springsteen's break out record Cons: none
"We got one more chance to make it real...and I'm pulling out of here to win!" --"Thunder Road" Although it may be hard to believe nowadays, but back in 1975 Bruce Springsteen's record company, Columbia, had just about given up on him. ...
Pros: Lyrics, wall of sound instruments, songs, great rock. Every damn thing. Cons: You're asking me for cons on this? Get a life.
Born to Run was a monster of an album for Bruce Springsteen not just because it was hard to make; it was hard to conceive of in the first place. His first two albums, 1973's Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent, ...
Pros: First half of the album isn't all that bad... Cons: One half does not make a whole. Neither do three quarters. Or seven eighths.
Bruce Springsteen is one of those untouchables in the rock and roll community. He’s joined the likes of the Bealtes, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton as artists whose music just doesn’t get questioned. Nary a discouraging word is ever spoken about these ...
Pros: Everything, the songs, the band interplay (and new musicians), the balls-out production, everything. Cons: It overshadows 'The Wild, Innocent...', the only album he made that was better than this.
... It's not often that I almost crash my car because I hear a song pop up on the radio, but that particular thing happened today, as I was driving home from college, and I heard that unmistakeable harmonica intro to 'Thunder Road', a song that I...
Pros: The pinnacle of human achievement. This IS Rock and Roll. Cons: Excuse me?
It is depressing to think that these days most people assosciate rock music with heavy guitars, fast drums and a lead singer with deep emotional problems. Rock and roll has lost it's roots, and now if you don't have long hair, a stupid beard and hate ...
Pros: This album will make feel free when you're in a cage. Cons: There is nothing wrong with this record.
It should be stated that I am biased towards this album. I stand firm behind it as the greatest album ever recorded(Darkness on the Edge of Town is equal, but entirely differant. They alternate or my number one spot depeding on which of them I am...
Pros: Great guitar, sax, and songwriting Cons: songs can be a bit schmaltzy
I'm 30 years old so I thought the first Springsteen album was Born in the USA. That of course is a fine piece of music as well, but its greatest contribution to my life was to send me into The Boss' back catalog. Bruce has taken on many personas as he...
Pros: There is no other album like it Cons: Every Bruce album since has been judged by it
How do you write a review of for one of the greatest works of all time. This album is truly a classic in every sense of the word. From the first notes of "Thunder Road" to the spiraling finale of "Jungleland", you know that what you...
Pros: great sound, heartfelt lyrics, some of Springsteens' best work Cons: time takes its' toll on this one
With his 3rd album, ”Born To Run”, Bruce Springsteen invented a whole new genre: a style that unites Spectorian grandeur, Stax Soul, C&W-like storytelling, Dylanesque metaphors and Proto-Punk energy to convey a vivid portrait of...
