Reviews

  • Beachbeatle1's avatar
    Beachbeatle1
    A sprawling masterpiece concerning the trials of working & destitute people & the triumph of rock n’ roll in which the Boss extends his run of fantastic albums finding him at peak perfection featuring a range of musical moods and complex emotional concerns along with plenty of good time up-tempo rockers & darker thought provoking introspective lyrical pieces. The sheer quality of the individual songs still sounds fresh today as it harnesses BS’s live performance energy & encapsulates the classic E Street sound & spirit.
    An essential rock and roll album.
