Born In The U.S.A.

3/10 not my vibe

Best Song of the Album: Glory Days

I tried listening to 4 songs, could barely give one single shit about any of them and had to push the skip button after 3 to 7 seconds, realized life is too short to listen to things I don't like, turned PJ Harvey back on. Would rank this a 1, but it gets 1 extra star for its proximity to PJH. Also, there are better Springsteen albums.

5. born in the usa is good

As boring as expected. Some may enjoy this, but I did not.

Corny.

Right, this album. Well-misunderstood, weirdly popular. Born in the USA has a good backbeat, good drums, but oh god the screaming is awful. 4/5 song, I just...the singing is horrible. Cover Me: phenomenal beat. just great. but, the lyrics are...not there. 3/5. And reasonably, the rest of the album is like that. It's just...the beat, the instrumentals are phenomenal, but the lyrics and singing are not there. Bruce Springsteen cannot sing. Top songs: Born in the U.S.A; Cover Me; I'm on Fire

Never been a big Springsteen fan, although I do respect the man for championing downtrodden blue collars without hypocrisy or demagogy. This album - probably his most misundertood and misappropriated work - doesn't really resonate with me since I'm not American, but I do understand the appeal. Musically, however, I'm not convinced. Except for a couple of appreciable hits, it sounds like very generic mid-80s radio rock, with many of the annoying gimmicks that defined that time period (the cheesy horns and keyboards being the worst offenders). It's just a collection of easy-listening songs that never reach the level of cinematic storytelling that made Born To Run special. Not unpleasant to listen, but definitely not something I'll come back to. 3/10

It could have been a single instead of an album; that would have been a better rating for this album. The only song I liked... is the hit "Born in the USA," which has a special energy; the rest is forgettable and already forgotten.

I don't get it. Bryan Adams gets slated for this kind of cheesy shit, but for some reason Bruce is a critical darling? Not my cup of tea.

I have never been a Bruce fan and if this album is considered his best then I know I never will. Not even the E Street band’s best. Only a few good songs on the album and Bruce still manages to sound like someone’s drunk uncle while singing on those.

Bruce Springsteen is the other artist who in addition to Elvis Costello I have been repeatedly told I should appreciate over my years working in record stores. He’s never done anything for me although I will admit my dislike has mellowed with age. This album has two of the songs by him that I think are somewhat undeniably catchy, “I’m on Fire” & “Dancing In The Dark”. I don’t love the sound of much of the record but this was more listenable to me than Bat Out Of Hell.

I only like Nebraska by Springsteen. This is a bit too rawk for my taste.

Koffor har eg hørt nesten alle sangane fra før

overblown stadium rock - strangled vocals, arm pumping in the air for punctuation, that exhausting snare drum, thumping pianos on the beat, all the simplistic repetitive keyboard parts - partly saved by the gentler I'm On Fire , but overall the sound is desperate, oppressive, bludgeoning

My third Springsteen album and I still do not understand the allure and the magnetism. But I guess people like what they like and so I guess two stars make sense but I still wanna say that I am gonna give his music another chance and see where we land.

Very commercial. Vocals are mediocre.

I’ve never understood the appeal of Bruce Springsteen. He can’t sing. The songs are dull. It’s all a bit YOO ESS AAE for my liking.

This sounds like rock and country's bastard child: Taking the clichés of each genre to make music that tries hard to feel anthemic but falls short. Instead, it demands Springsteen's vocal chords' heoric effort to imbue the music with a feeling of gravity. The lyrics come off as a romantization of "I'm just a simple Joe and life is rough", an experience im not sure Springsteen is actually personally familiar with.

Boomer coded

Boring, overwrought 50s pastiche baloney

Overall: 3/10 My 2nd Springsteen album I've gotten so far, and it's shockingly worse than the 1st one. I just can't stand the man's voice. It's a shame because he seems like a very levelheaded and cool person, and the songs he writes wouldn't be so terrible if somebody else was singing them. I've just genuinely never heard a voice that I dislike more. I want to like it but it's just not possible. I will admit though.....Glory Days is kind of a banger and I always forget The Boss wrote it. Fav Song: Glory Days

It's a well-executed rendition of a musical style that I generally can't stand whatsoever. His vocals got on my nerves a fair bit, and it's all a bit saccharine for me. The nice, warm bass was a positive feature throughout.

Guys, I’m sorry, I hate it. I’m old enough to just come out and say I hate it. Maybe it’s just a 90s punk kid hating anything that was mainstream in the 80s. I want to tell a story about how Reagan and the right misappropriated it and all that, but in the end I just don’t care, I don’t want to listen to it. “I’m On Fire” creeps me out, “Glory Days” creeps me out. I like “Dancing in the Dark” and a few other moments, but honestly I was thrilled when it was over and I could put on Nebraska instead.

eccessivo spirito patriottico album molto monotono, già la terza canzone sembrava avere stessa melodia della prima complessivamente piacevole come sottofondo

Oh, what could've been. Ruined by the E-Street Band, garish production, and too many creepy "little girl" references (and yes...ANY is too many).

I appreciate the message, but it's so big and boisterous all the time, it's hard to endure. I'm on Fire and My Hometown are exceptions.

Not my fave but one or two listenable tracks

I did not like this album when it first came out and, in retrospect, I still don't like it. Banal, jingoistic, and bloated. I only liked 2 tracks: Downbound train and I'm on Fire. The rest, if not banal, are unlistenable, semi-patriotic crap. Bruce SHOULD be embarrassed of this shite. Especially after Nebraska, which is the best thing he's done imo. 2 disappointed stars

I don't hate it There's a few good hits

Wasnt born in the usa

Born In The U.S.A. is actually the worst song on the album

Not really my thing

Pretty surface level and unremarkable musically. Definitely of its time

Continuo a pensare che Springsteen sia una roba creata ad OK per gli americani, incomprensibile per me.

born in the usa 6 cover me 6 darlington county 5 working on the highway 5 downbound train 6 i’m on fire 7 no surrender 6 bobby jean 5 i’m goin down 5 glory days 5 dancing in the dark 7 my hometown 5

★★½

Overrated

Ugh… I just don't get the seemingly universal appeal of Bruce. The second half of the album seemed to hit its stride. When he tries to push beyond his vocal range it just sounds forced, but not in a good way. The lyrics are all stories but just don't really resonate with me. The drumming is all just first and third beats and reminds me of that gif of him dancing, its just simple. I wanted to like it, but it just seems blah.

Second album proposé après 'Born To Run' que je n'avais pas trop apprécié (noté 2/5). Ce nouvel album propose quelques tubes connus, à la différence du précédent. Mais pas suffisamment pour me donner envie de l'écouter de nouveau : c'est toujours du rock très standard qui ne me touche pas. =>2/5

Glory Days makes me want to vomit. 2 stars, Bruce can, and has done, better.

Stanowczo zbyt amerykańskie

2 stars. A couple of good songs but mostly mediocre. Some concepts dated and hampers enjoyability

Видимо, чтобы понять эту музыку - нужно быть американцем. Очень скучно. Ожидал намного большего

I don’t get the hype behind this guy

good but not as good as Darkness on the Edge of Town Its a car ride typa album

ça va, pas trop mon truc

Referring to women as little/young girls is extremely grating on the ear, even before the aggressive monotony of his delivery. Simplistic compositions. Not a fan.

I hope this is the last Bruce Springsteen album. We get it, the author loved Bruce Springsteen. I don't love BS, I don't even like him, but I don't hate him either.

Few things ooze 1984 for me more than this album. You could not escape the title track or Dancing in the Dark. Listening today I can feel all of the excitement and anxiety of 7th grade like it was yesterday. I didn’t care much for this album back then - the blue collar, railroad/highway worker, drinking at the bar while pining about the past (Glory Days) themes were beyond my 12 year old life experience. The same remains largely true today - this album feels really "mid" - and its value to me now rests in its ability to invoke feelings of an arguably simpler, more optimistic (American exceptionalism) time. 2/5

Day 5- Wasn't a huge fan of this album, i can understand the appeal but there was not much for me to grasp onto this musically or lyrically.

This isn’t good

As a record, it's not that exciting to me, but the singles are classics.

I remember this record sitting in a short stack of CDs in my grandparent’s living room. They weren’t loose; nothing in the house was. Instead, the dozen or so jewel cases were organised into slip shelves either side of a VCR and stereo unit, with the TV sitting king of the pile – appropriate symbolism for the then-biggest whale in the attention economy. I don’t recall the album ever getting played – and on the strength of this listen through, I doubt I’d have really remembered had it been. There are anthems in here, truly era-defining stadium rock gems that have delivered hours upon hours of enjoyment in varied and interesting contexts (Bum The Gibbon’s lockdown-era cover of “Dancing In The Dark” especially) … but as full albums go, there’s plenty in there that’s forgettable too. Still, I won’t soon forget the first time I held that album c.1996 and, in that peculiarly intuitive way only a child can, felt like I understood something about my grandad I didn’t before. The Boss in his blue jeans announced a dimension to my grandad’s character I hadn’t yet had a chance to apprehend; said something about his internal life I’d likely never hear him articulate directly … and would forever need to guess about anyway. And because life’s like that – layer on layer of clues, hues, idiosyncrasies, dust – music’s like that too (or is it the other way around?). Happy birthday, Grandad.

I tried. I was on a scenic drive. It was not good. Maybe just the wrong place and time. Maybe it’s actually not good. I don’t know, but whatever happened between me and these songs and that road… I’ll just never listen again and I am okay with that.

ehh podia morir sin escucharlo

If there is a Bruce Springsteen song worth getting excited about I have yet to hear it. 2*

The unapologetic all star American album. It's got guns, booze, new york and pdf vibes.

He's such a creep, it's disgusting. I'm giving it a 2 because of 2 of the songs that I begrudgingly like (NOT I'm on Fire). This man should be investigated. Clive Davis signed him I mean. Danger.

Consistent throughout but overuse of the cheesy keyboard sound. Top track: I'm Goin' Down / Southbound Train

This is the sound of boomers pining for the “good old days” that never really existed

Gostei de 2 músicas, o resto foi mid

Not my thing at all but Dancing in the Dark is a floor filling banger and Bobby Jean has some wicked sax.

Huge album for people who like boring music

While I like the fella’s politics, I’m not sure about his music. The title track still grates on me and sounds awfully 80’s

meh (':

this is what bland sounds like to me i think. but songs like cover me and parts of no surrender im a fan of. not the most challenging music but a challenge for me to listen to nonetheless because of genre preferences i think.

I do like when it sounds melancholic but it stays too long being upbeat which doesn't suit his voice

God damn Bruce Springsteen. His music is far too mediocre to get the amount of radio play it does, but I guess some people must like it.

Ce serait pas le chanteur le plus surestimé de l'histoire notre ami Bruce, avec ses caisses claires qui résonnent et ses trompettes merdiques ?

I get why people like Springsteen, there's a certain anthemic quality to what he does but as I've said before, heartland rock just doesn't really do it for me. It's fine, I can listen to it but for my tastes, I find it to be a bit 'bright', a bit plodding and just lacking a bit of bite. I believe he's very good live and 'Id probably get more out of it in that environment.

God bless américa, Trump for president my country is the whole continent cause i dont know shit about geography. Yessss.... no.

School went mad when he played Roundhay park in Leeds. I'd never heard of him. I was surprised by how many of these songs I knew. The rhythm on I'm on fire is good.

Really quite disappointing. Uninspired both musically and lyrically.

more tolerable than the other bruce springsteen albums on the list but nothing of note on here either

Not a Springsteen fan!

I tried

A very difficult album to listen to. The vocals are grating and flat in many of the songs. However, I did find a couple of the songs earworming my brain afterwards to save it from being a 1*

Bruce Springsteen is 'Basically Fine: The Musical'. Nothing about his music stirs any kind of feeling in me. Even his biggest hits - both of which are on this album - leave me with a feeling of ambivalent indifference. I can't understand how anyone could dislike this music, and I can't understand why anyone could like it. It's magnolia dad rock which as a non-american has zero cultural meaning.

not as awesome as i thought but respect to bruce’s politics!

Couple of good songs, but mostly a bit middle of the road.

Born in the U.S.A is obviously a banger. The rest of the album was lost on me a bit.

The hits are undeniable, in saying that some of the deep cuts on the album are quite a chore to get through and really break up the enjoyment of the album and make it hard to listen to as a whole project and had to use the weekend to listen to it. Again the hits are what save this album from being rated lower, I might come back to this later in life and enjoy it more but right now not so much

I never understood the appeal of Springsteen. I listened to this album and I just don’t like his music. It’s one of those things where there’s nothing wrong with the music, it just doesn’t click with me at all.

It is such an American album from the title track to baseball nostalgia, I just feel like I am out of context here to really connect with lyrics even after reading up on it. Musically it haven't grasped me either.

I used to really enjoy Springsteen, but admittedly this one did not stand the test of time for me.

I feel like I should like this more because of what album it is, but...I just didn't. Not my style.

Can’t argue with the title track, but the rest is thin gruel. A pop sheen over grit that never quite surfaces. Wonder if the rednecks ever noticed it’s not a victory lap but a eulogy.

I love Bruce Springsteen. But I kind of hate this album. It feels like a parody of Springsteen. The magic of his best stuff is that it feels very grounded and relatable. He's able to tell the stories of blue collar Americans in such an authentic way that you believe the stories are his (even though you know they're not). But on this album, it feels like he’s run out of that magic. It honestly just sounds like a rich guy pretending to blue collar and failing miserably. It's 80s Bruce cosplaying as 70s Bruce with a synthesizer duct taped to his hands. While I can’t say for sure that the lyrics on this album are worse than on his older material. What I can say is that the 80s production and synth work really fails these songs and creates the cheesy, fake vibe. There’s always been a hint of cheesiness in his work but I think the grounded, gritty 70s pub rock production reinforced the authenticity of the songs and made you believe. But on this album, the glossy sound and questionable synth work amplify the cheese factor. It becomes a strange smelling elephant in the room. This leaves the album feeling like a shiny label driven imitation of his better work. He even sorta backs up my point on Glory Days without realizing it: And I hope when I get old, I don’t sit around thinking about it, but I probably will. […] Well, the time slips away, leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of Glory days. Springsteen doesn’t realize it, but on this album he’s already the guy trying to reclaim his glory days (his run of classic albums that lead him to this point). His "boring stores" are the tracks on this damn album and the many albums he'll put out in the future. Sadly, he'll never recreate the success of this album or the quality of his previous work. It's over... and he doesn't even know it yet. Side note: I fucking hate Glory Days. I always have and I think I always will. Additional side note: Glory Days is my Dad’s favourite Springsteen song. I hated it before I knew this, but it makes sense since we have almost zero in common musically. Weirdly the songs that feel like new territory for Bruce are the ones that are stone cold classics. When he stops trying to tell Springsteen-ian stories and instead tackles something more personal and brief, he writes 2 of the greatest synth rock bangers of all time: I’m on fire and Dancing in the Dark. These 2 songs completely cary this album. I’m going to give this album 2 stars and those 2 songs are doing 90% of the work to get that rating. I want a whole album of Bruce singing songs like these… but that is not what we got on Born in the U.S.A. These 2 songs actually stick out like beautiful sore thumbs in the track list. The rest of the songs feel like old Bruce with an ugly new coat of paint, while Dancing and Fire feel like a brand new Bruce fit for the future of music. It’s a shame we didn’t get more of this. Side note: I still love that music video with Courtney Cox. Additional Side note: I got into Springsteen through a scene in The Place Beyond The Pines where Ryan Gosling is holding a dog and swaying to Dancing in the Dark. There are so many better Springsteen albums than this. Listen to Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River or Nebraska. Those 4 albums came right before this one and they’re all way better. It’s wild that the most pure, authentic release in his whole catalogue, Nebraska, came out right before this album. It makes zero sense. Additional notes….

 Cover me - It’s a good track. Maybe the third best song on the album. I dig its lounge-y swagger. Born in the U.S.A. - I want to love this track. I love parts of it. The lyrics are great. The energy of his voice is aggressive in a good way. I love the politics of it from what I can glean. Unfortunately, it's really brought down by the synth work and the production. There’s that famous anecdote of Regan playing it at his rallies, not realizing that it’s satire and that it’s actually anti-American. Normally this story is told in support of the greatness of Born in the U.S.A…. but to me it’s actually evidence of my issue with track. Is it good satire if no-one gets the joke and people instead take it literally? Trump played it at his rallies in the past 10 years, so people still haven’t figured out the song’s true message. Even knowing the truth, it can be hard for me not to hear it as a pro-America anthem unless I’m really paying attention to the lyrics. The production screams all American hero and it can be hard to get past that. I can see Hulk Hogan tearing a shirt while it plays. I think if the synth tone had been a bit more sour or gritty or something… if the production had been more subversive… it could have gone a long way to supporting the satire of the track…. And made it actually cool. Darlington county - Reminds me of Hey You by BTO in a bad way with it’s annoying shalala chorus. Working on the highway - Feels like a goofy 50s pastiche with more cheesy synth/organ. I didn’t like it. Im goin’ down - Sounds vaguely like Wagon Wheel? It’s a solid track I guess. Glory Days - Fuck Glory Days. I hope I never hear this song again.

1. uza - 1.5 2. cover - 1.5 2. county - 1 4. uuorking - 1 5. train - 1.5 6. fire - 2 7. zurrender - 1 8. bobby - 1 9. douun - 1 10. glory - 1.5 11. dark - 2 12. touun- 1.5

I’ve tried, but I just can’t seem to get into Bruce in the 80’s. He was supposed to be the next Bob Dylan but instead turned into a caricature of himself. There are for sure classics on this album but too much pop washes it all away.

maybe this is the MONDAY talking, but I hate this and I never want to listen to it again. "Born in the USA" has 2 chords in the whole fucking song. adding 1 star because I feel like an iota of respect is due to Bruce for pissing off Trump.

This is the Springsteen I was expecting to hear on this list, not that I particularly want it. This is butt rock for a construction site before butt rock became more about butts lyrically than just aurally. I don’t even like the hits. I never have. It’s not even bad it’s just boring unimaginative dreck. Best track on here is “My hometown” which chronicles the story of a quintessentially American shithole. It’s depressing but it made me feel something and that makes this album a 2.

Really don’t dig The Boss brand of wall of sound, or the anti-nostalgia of the 80s when this shit was everywhere, but the simpler tunes are pretty great.

I’m just gonna say it… I think every song on the album sounds basically the same except I’m on Fire and Dancing in the Dark.

Just not my thing. It’s not bad, just not for me.

Not my favorite, repetitive

Most songs here if not all give the vibe of a movie with a kid running downstairs to eat breakfast and catch the bus for school. His voice is alot more tolerable than Born to Run, but its still has this showman twang to it that I'm just not a fan of.

Wellllll this album. Oh man, this is nostalgia central. My dad loved this album and would put it on when we had yard work to do, which is really funny because my dad's go-to was usually Kenny G or Fleetwood Mac. But Bruce came out when we had work to get done. Whether it was working on the deck or fixing the car, he was our soundtrack. I am not an enormous fan of Bruce. I have tried multiple times over the years to get into the album but have never been able to round the corner. I don't know if it is because of my childhood or if he just isn't my jam. It is hard to say. What I do know is that this album is iconic of 80s Americana Rock n ' Roll. There is something about this album: summer, fresh cut grass, barbeques, and living the best life you can. Or maybe that is the nostalgia talking again. I will definitely listen to this album today and anytime someone else puts it on.

I've made no secret in past reviews that I don't have much love for Springsteen. I think his whole schtick is overblown. Credit where it's due, he writes some popular songs and made a storied career, but its just generally not for me. Glad to get the title track out of the way. Its incredibly catchy and obvious why it took off, but I have grown to hate the chorus due to overplay. I do, however, find it funny that so many politicians, etc. play this as if it is a positive anthem of the US. When in fact if you listen to the lyrics its all about sending our kids out to fight foreign wars and "kill the yellow man." I've made it through 7 full tracks and I'm honestly proud of myself for this feat. I cannot do 5 more. Something about Springsteen always makes me think of Christmas music. Not in the excited, this is the holiday season sort of way. More in the sense that the songs feel overtly materialistic and insincere. This is probably more me than the music, but I just can't do it. While this isn't dogshit, it still isn't something I want to consume. Personal enjoyment is really low on this one... giving this a 2 because a 1 feels too harsh.

this seems like extremely country ( well duhhhhh) but like this is the most countryeyyy album i have ever listened to. its quite shouty. his accent is annoying me . im picturing him like a cowboy and a farmer mixed. again quite shouty. i feel very rural. one song sounded like it belonged in the teen beach movie. its just a bit average. like i feel like this week is just complete weird albums like so unknown. i dont even know. just like not very me. makes me want to say yeee hawwww.

This album was inescapable when I was 10 years old, and honestly I would have been fine NEVER hearing anything from it again, but here we are. I am not a Springsteen fan. I hate his voice. I hate his story-telling style of lyric writing. I hate how much he wishes he was Bob Dylan (who I also hate). But mostly, and specific to this album, I HATE that the average American flag waving douche-bag still regards Born In The U.S.A. as a fist-pumping patriotic anthem. Cover Me is probably the closest I've ever come to enjoying a Springsteen song though, so points for that I guess.

Ett par klassiker men framförallt väldigt trött. Fattar ej grejen med The Boss.

I don't really like this guys music Will I listen to again: 0%

It's funny that Born in the US is the famous track of this album because the song immediately following it is so much better. In general, this has both that 80s sounds and country-ish vocals that I really dislike. But Cover Me really had a nice sound. 2.5 rounded down. You put a song like "I'm Goin Down" on an album and you aren't cracking into the 3+ stars.

this was fun, but only a few songs. the rest felt like a slog. not a huge fan but going to drop off here for today because I just suffered through two metal albums

Don't like it

Lots of classics, I just don't really like Bruce's classics.

Solid album

Not for me, born in the USA is annoying 4.5/10

Almost 3 stars. Little too much yelling

Read the lyrics to Born in the USA for the first time- so it’s about the mistreatment of the middle class, and in particular Vietnam Vets upon their return. More progressive than US Fascists seem to think. Two issues: musically it’s extremely obnoxious- just a terrible fucking song. AND it’s viewpoint is parochial- focused on the poor vets- but while they are victims- haw about the millions of Vietnamese lives disrupted and ended in the “kill anything that moves” doctrine that war was waged by. Fuck the USA. Also- this album’s production is 80s in the bad way, and Bruce is always singing anthemically- it’s wearying. He chills out on “I’m on Fire” probably the best track on the record. I didn’t know “Dancing in the Dark” was on this record- obviously the biggest hit (504 million views!). It’s catchy and were it arranged and performed in the 1950s I’d probably love it. As is it’s the most synth and sax laden but of 80s schlock imaginable. Put this goddamn album in the discount bin or burn it. My enjoyment- one star. For its earnestness, I’ll give it one more.

The Arthur Miller of pop. If you empathise with the tragic hero character, I can see how this is awesome. I don't, so I don't. Dancing in the dark doesn't make up for the awful sax either

Eeeh this was kinda rough.

Don’t really get why he’s so popular, I feel like there’s artists nowadays doing this genre better. Also I heard him singing about a ‘little girl’ on 2 different songs and any more than 1 is too much.

Overblown throaty meat and potatoes. Not my boss.

America

"Well time slips away leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of glory days." Bruce sums up how I feel about his album. Everything sounds so musically uninspired. I do appreciate the juxtaposition of how "Born in the USA" is used as a patriotic anthem versus the actual lyrics.

He yells a bit too much for my liking

I'm On Fire is a genuinely brilliant song, and there are a couple other highlights on this album, but a lot of it feels really dated and cheesey. There are some good Springsteen albums, but this isn't one of them.

if i was a white male born in the 60s or 70s i would think this album was good to great. i was born in the 90s as a black man. this album was as mid as potato salad from a local american diner. white people can have him at the cookout.

not for me

not my style of music

This is another phenomenon I have never been able to understand. How he continues to pull off the ‘working class hero’ image following decades of fame and wealth is beyond me. Don’t mind his greatest hits but his voice always sounds strained rather than powerful and his lyrics a bit over sentimental.

Not only is this not my jam in term of style, I couldn't feel LESS like hearing Americana patriotism bullshit given the last 2 weeks of utter political shitshow from the USA. From what I read The Boss himself is anti Trump, so no shade on him there.

Again, a album I didn't love. It was boring overall but had a few hits.

I honestly listened to 2 songs and it just wasn’t my vibe so I wasn’t a huge fan.

Only Dance In The Dark and My Hometown resonated a bit with me. The music is kind of ok, the lyrics are hard to relate to.

2/5

Estaba preparado pal hateo mientras escuchaba los 4 minutos y medio de la primera canción, que ya está trilladisina por la radio, por ser una sola melodia repitiendose todo el tiempo. Me da bastante rabia todo el rollito malote pero al mismo tiempo supercontenido. El icono perfecto para aplatanar la clase obrera. Me he reconciliado un poco en algunas baladillas que me han sorprendido, luego otra vez abajo con los rockanroles revenidos. En fin, sin mas. Dancing in the dark está bien, jarto plagiadic por parte de war on drugs laerda. Ah y que la mitad de las canciones la batería entre solo con los golpes de caja esos? es su trademark?

First time listening and I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I would be from all the talk about it

não é necessariamente horrível, mas nas palavras de um grande amigo, é "dad rock" até o cu fazer bico e rodar fora o patriotismo evocado, vai tomar no cu estados unidos

dad rock AO EXTREMO. besta demais esse aqui. tipo, num eh ruim, mas é o SUCO do pop rock estadunidense dos anos 80. é meio bobão, mas as baladinha são dançante demais. queria muito odiar esse aqui, porém é mó divertidinho. tem umas que, se forçar, desce, vai.

This is one of Springsteen's weaker albums. Dated 80s sound, pretty pedestrian lyrics (where are the gritty character sketches?). Even the vaunted title track has some parts where he's just searching for something meaningful to say. And No Surrender? Come on... hackneyed crap. And you know what I think he (Springsteen) knows it. Pretty sad when Dancing in the Dark is the best song. Check that, I think it's Glory Days and Going Down and Hometown that ALMOST save this turd of an album. OK Hometown is a good song. 3 stars, reluctantly! Fuck it....2 stars! Tell me what you really think

I'll continue to think Bruce Springsteen is overrated until I hear music from him that doesn't sound like a backyard garage band full of teenagers. At least the album provides a relevant message. Favorite Song: "Born In The U.S.A."

Yes, the Boss, lots of well-known songs. But then after a few songs it just gets nostalgic and it's enough with US country again.

Definitively Bruce.

All what I dislike in rock on one album

The title track is dreadful content, vocal, and repetition-wise. Cover Me wasn't awful. Darlington County is. Working on the Highway was a pretty good song, reminding me of Lord Huron. I'm On Fire is good. I walked in expecting to hate this and was only half correct. 2 stars for the few decent songs.

Apart from the three singles I already knew, the rest of this album was a mystery. It’s very clangy, grating and Bruce is pretty much screaming his way through the songs. I preferred the slower ballads but even those were fairly boring.

Never liked him

I’m just not a Bruce kinda girl, im sorry :(

Nej tak

I don't wannnaaaaaaaaa listen to thissssss.... I'm only 4 songs in and it's so weird and creepy. Dancing in the Dark is the only good song. Thank god im done tho

I'm sorry, I just don't like this. 2/5

Yeah, it's heartland rock which is fine but not something I gravitate towards. A few good tracks throughout but the sound just gets tiring. Being a fan of The Killers, it's funny realizing now how much of a direct influence this sound shows through on many tracks of theirs that I don't care for much (see Imploding the Mirage).

Meh

I like the hits and the typical 80s sound but not something I would listen to again

bored of the USA too bored to run etc.

Boy I just don’t know about Bruce Springsteen. Just don’t see it. The “if you listen to the lyrics, he’s actually CRITICAL Americana!” trick works once, the first time, and it IS cool. But the music is pretty not cool, to me.

Title track still slaps. The rest of the album just felt like butt rock style vocals over 80s electronic keyboard.

I like rock, but not this kind of rock. It is interesting that the album/title track have been unfairly labelled as unashamed patriotism, but that's about it for me.

Mention a rubbish job, lust for a "little girl", a train/bus (each an American synonym for poverty) and jail and you've got yourself a Springsteen track. He often sounds like Vic Reeves singing in the style of a club singer, however he did exceeded my expectations. The album is listenable. I could listen again. I just won't.

There were a few good songs but overall I didn't care for the album.

Ehhhh Springsteen isn't really my thing. I gave it a listen to see if that has changed but I'm still not really into it.

Not for me but with a couple of classic hits

Not my cup of tea

Wow, the second Bruce Springsteen record in 2 days time. I get why this one is on here, because it has the hits and the iconic voice, but did he really deserve to have more than one album on here? The writer must be a nationalist and consider this guy a national treasure. I'll give it a 2 just because these songs were hits, but I am so sick and tired of them.

Overplayed is an understatement

Historically, this is the Reagan years, communism and the economic rise of Japan. Working class hero with a guitar from Jersey is all I hear. Beyond the title track being a wolf in sheep's clothing, I never really understood what the big deal was about this album or Springsteen in general. Does this album still have a place in 2024?

Another month, another Springsteen album. Surely they must be running out soon. Though not his worst, it's still pretty terrible. Recognised two of the songs and both already annoyed me. I'm on Fire saves it from yet another 1* Brucey award. 1.5*. Congrats Bruce

I didn't hate it, but I wasn't really into it. It's just the ultimate in mid-afternoon background noise really.

After having 4 (of the 5) Springsteen albums on the 1001 list, I was hoping this one may pique my interest, but nope, I still don't care much for Bruce Springsteen.

Too upbeat, Dancing in the dark is the only song I kinda like, and others have better covers of it.

From what I understand, this is by far his best album. Classic Americana, by your drunk Uncle doing karaoke

Didn’t really like it. Favorite song: Born in the USA Rating: 3/10

Doesn’t really have a lot of interest to me. I like glory days and my hometown is alright but the rest puts me to sleep or is way overplayed.

Favourite track: Downbound Train.

I know this is a classic but it does nothing for me

Taustamusiikkia

meh

Opens with that awful 80s synth and reverb drums. Then the awful voice. Dude cannot sing. Album finished strong but damn I don't like the sound of this album. I'm on Fire great tune though

Pretty good but Glory Days ruins it

I've always thought Springsteen sounded like a mewling drunk. This album wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but he still sounds terrible....

Some good songs but mostly pretty boring

I was surprised how much I did not enjoy most of this album

Boring, repetitive, annoying.

Bruce just doesn’t do it for me. Probably a generational thing.

I appreciate the bait and switch nature of the title track. I love how modern republicans think it’s some sort of anthem, rather than the indictment it is. I also think Glory Days is still a banger. Outside of that, this album, sonically, is just so very 80s that I can’t imagine listening to it start to finish again. I really expected to give this a solid 3 but it’s a 2.5 at best.

3 good songs, rest are awful

Way overrated

Finally someone who’s not afraid to be an American!! 😤

Pls stop with the gravelly voiced old white guys Thank you

For some reason I always get Bruce Springsteen and Bruce Willis mixed up. Is it because they look alike? (Probably not) or because Springsteen’s music is like the Die Hard films? (More likely) or because they share same name and I’m getting on a bit now so unable to distinguish? (Very likely) Anyhow I always think of the other when watching or listening to either chap and this spoils both things for me. This is because I end up feeling that both the films and music are over the top American jingoism. Don’t get me wrong I think that in the main this is a good quality and wish the we in the UK displayed more of it but not sure I want it in my music. Having said that UK musical history is full of jingoism - Rule Britannia, Land Of Hope And Glory spring to mind but that stuff was eons ago. When rating this album I cannot help but be distracted by my rambling thoughts I have tried to express above. Whilst it is full of good rock tracks many of them now established standards, it is not the type of rock music which I yearn for when in a rock music mood. Cannot doubt its significance but an album low down in my appreciation. I don’t own the album but would buy it if seen cheap. To date I only have a Springsteen greatest hits album which is probably all I ill ever need. 2.5/5 22/6/24

“Born In The USA” is a great track but I didn’t really need to listen to more of the same.

A Classic, but a little bit boring

✅ strong one check, almost two but realistically don't see myself coming back to this one. some really poignant moments to be sure, very "dark side of the 'american dream'

An ok album

Question: How many mid tempo songs can one man write about blue collar America? Answer: Loads! I thought it was a joke about how Bruce basically writes the same song over and over again, but now I've heard a few albums I can see how true this is.

Not for me, feels a little like its on one song

the first track really set the tone for this album. its so intentionally cheesy with the production and patriotic lyrics. id feel less embarrassed to have ayesha erotica play in a car full of people than born in the usa. that being said, this isnt something that i would listen to on the regular or in full at all, but the singles are good. 2 personal favs: im on fire

Cha, medio que si me gusto... its super repetitive pero al inicio lo tuve tripeando. Es un clasico, pero simplemente no es creativo. Demasiado gringo para mi gusto. 4/10.

I went into this wanting or even expecting to like it. I sort of thought, hey, this Bruce Spingsteen fellow is an alright one; I also remember once putting on Nebraska - don't remember how that eventually went though -, liking Streets Of Philadelphia and I expected this to be one of the albums of which I've heard most of the songs but never paid attention to and they might surprise me. Well. While I do know most of the songs, I now also know why I had forgotten them: the sound and vibe of 80ies Keyboard Rock'n'Roll Played By A Band In A Corner Of A Bar-Restaurant. Featuring performances that make me get why people hate saxophones. Saving grace: Dancing In The Dark is a solid pop song and the sparse one(s like) I'm On Fire I quite like. Other than that: man, sorry Bruce, it's a No from me.

Not my thing

Aldrig lyssnat på Bruce pga har inte gillat hans röst. Det låter som hans stämband får jobba stenhårt för att pressa fram ljuden. Born in The USA är trots det en bra låt. Cover Me passerade när jag skrev ett sms. Darlington County låter som titelspåret. Working on the Highway är en käck låt. Lite Elvis över den. Vilket sällan blir bra. Gillar Bruce småflickor? I'm On Fire är verkar handla om det. På det stora hela är det samma låt som upprepas i ca 46 min och det blir lite enformigt. Glory Days och My Hometown är bäst. Flåt Bruce

Mix some generic 80's background music, and a healthy dose of Springsteen's YellSinging™️ and you get this album. I still don't get it. Music to protest the plant shutting down.

America!

Not really sure why everyone loves Bruce so much. Half of this album is sort of incoherent

Not a huge fan of The Boss. 2 stars only because Born In The USA is very catchy.

Not a big fan

Boring boomer country music

The Boss does disco. Now I've heard it all. Thankfully he sticks to songs about driving around. Running low on material, Springsteen combines his usual themes of roads and working into a single track about "Workin on the Highway." On "I'm Goin' Down" he works driving into a song about a failing romantic relationship.

I'm not the biggest Springsteen fan, but I was open to give it a try. This album was so popular when it came out, so naturally I avoided it...until now! I really respect Springsteen as an artist and songwriter - he did write Blinded By The Light - but I found this to be mostly boring anthemic pop. I've always liked Glory Days and I'm On Fire, but there were no Liked Songs added here. In retrospect, I wonder what hardcore Boss fans think of this album. I would guess it would be considered weaker than his earlier work, but I don't have that perspective.

Never been a Springsteen fan

Sorry I just dont like Springsteen.

I liked the first song but afterwards it just got too patriotic for me. And none of the commentary

It's hard to believe this was ever good, but it certainly didn't age well

tried and tested method of putting your best song first so the rest of the album feels like a slog

Dancing in the dark, born in the usa and I'm on fire are great tracks, I'm on fire in particular. But I wasn't that impressed with the rest.

Already heard it

It's cheesy and it drones on what seems like forever.

Each song on “Born in the U.S.A.” sounds like a Bruce Springsteen song. Personally, I can only take so much of that sound before getting bored. But, there are some solid tracks on this album: “I’m on Fire” “No Surrender” “Bobby Jean” and “Dancing in the Dark.” Would have been a 2.5, but songs like “Glory Days” make it hard to make it a 3.

I liked "I'm on Fire" and "dancing in the dark" but the rest of the album is really not my kind of music. I recognize that a lot of people really love Bruce Springsteen so his work holds influence but this didn't seem terribly ground breaking and falls into the small town America dive bar karaoke night material.

Not my piece of cake. Aber die letzte Zeile des titelgebenden Tracks hat mich interessiert und zu einem längeren Gespräch mit GPT geführt.

As I age, my dislike of this album grows.

I’ve never “got” the Springsteen thing, and I still don’t after listening to this album. “I’m on Fire” was the only song that I even remotely cared for. “Working on the Highway” is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. This is just simple music with simple themed lyrics, which maybe is the point? I’m never going to be a “Boss” fan.

Have never understood why people like this guy so much. It’s not absolutely awful, but it’s far from good.

#129. This album is so stereotypically boomer that it almost doesn't seem real. Like it almost doesn't sound like music made by some boomers in the 80s, but rather like some spoof music made recently to mock boomer music from the 80s. It can't really be this fucking cheesy, can it? 2/5: it's just too much.

this album has zero worth outside of 4th of july barbeques 2

pretty bad as i expected it to be. and his voice annoying

I'm not familiar with gay semiotics but I'm pretty sure the cover signalizes something Cover Me was the only song that stood out for me

'MURICA.

Gotta say, not a big fan of Bruce Springsteen. I didn’t mind him prior to this album, but I gotta say I was finding myself waiting for it to be over. I mean it’s classic americana. Don’t know what else to say

Nothing really stood out from this album for me

Der Boss. Der Titelsong ist mir zu grell. Zwei Sterne.

“Bored… umm… Born in the USA. This was a struggle. I have a sometimes like/a lot of the times dislike for his music. The first few albums are fine and his later folky/roots rock stuff is decent. This album though? Ugh. If I never hear the title track or “Dancing in the Dark” ever again… Well you know. Since it wasn’t as bad as I thought, I’ll give it 2 stars because most of it really is just mediocre. I have to admit though, Downbound Train is quite good. It’s a seriously good song which just doesn’t fit with the rest of the meh stuff on the album.

Not a huge Bruce Springsteen fan - music is passable and listenable, but generally not something I would put on myself. That being said, it is in offensive to the ear and is a classic to many. Just meh for me.

Too much white trash. Too much USA. There are other countries that make better music..

Only 2 good songs, the rest of them are unbearable.

It was ok

I didn't quite make it through the whole thing. Bruce's music is some of the cheesiest, hokiest around. Chick music for dudes. It's truly unbearable.

Not for me

It sounds like this stuff was screaming through radios in the 80s on country roads. A few classics Ive heard before. Very American. Little too repetitive for me though. Many of the songs could use more dynamic back ends.

Definitely heard this one a few times before... think he's one of the most overrated musicians ever

I don't get the hype. Not for me.

It's like if Jimmy Buffet and Bon Jovi had a baby, and fed it a bottle of Xanax.

Sounds like a parody of Rock n Roll. Being catchy and commercially successful is great, but it doesn't make the music great.

Not my favorite

Following “Born to Run,” this is my second Springsteen album in this compilation. Never have I felt so patriotic. While “Born in the USA” and “Dancing in the Dark” are classic Americana, this album is mid at most. In the process of writing 80 songs for this one album, the quality of the musicianship audibly deteriorated. The writing certainly feels lazier and every song sounds similar. It feels as if the writer is pandering to find commercial success through nationalism and country hick imagery. The reviewers who claim every song is a classic must be from the backwater, Bible Belt.

#boomermusic

I was in college in NY when this came out and to be honest, never cared for Springsteen. I've heard all the songs on this album many times, but never intentionally. I expected to tear it up. Well, I guess I've mellowed a bit over the years and have grown to find some appeal in some of it... but not all. The song Born in the USA is a monotonous chime of carousel sounding tinny keyboard which seems to never end. There isn't a single bridge in the entire song. I still think it's crap. Much of the songs are similar, but I found myself enjoying two songs in particular: Cover Me and Dancing in the Dark. Good, relatable songs which make you think about when you were there yourself. I think that's Springsteen's strength: His songs are relatable to the average Joe and he often finds beautiful imagery and metaphors to describe situations which we may not have thought about in a long time, but the songs stir up relatable memories. Anyway, the quality of the music on Born in the USA is marginal- not even close to Born to Run, and it lacks sophistication. I give it a 2, which is twice as good as I expected.

Heard of the guy, not the album. 80s rock. First song (born in the USA) is annoying/repetitive. Another boring 80s rock album. 2/5.

Meh, I mean who doesn't like to listen to Born in the USA on Fourth of July, but the rest of the album, was too country sounding for me. Dancing in the Dark and I'm on Fire were the only 2 other songs on there that I'd heard. 2 stars.

there are some very good songs on here but overall it just ain’t my thing.

Not a fan of The Boss

Not for me. I like Dancing in the Dark and Downbound Train but nothing else really. I’m surprised people still don’t understand the lyrics of Born in the USA. I will say that the lyrics are very evocative, I see a whole world in the songs but it’s not a world I want to be a part of.

never cared much for the boss. even given that this is not one of his i care for much

Schon ein angenehm sentimentales Album und musikalisch genau das was man erwarten würde. 2,5

downloaded 8,10,11. wouldnt listen to the album again its not me

Never liked bruce. This did nothing to change that.

Cheese.

Surprisingly sounds like Boy & Bear on multiple tracks. Have already heard 2 or 3 songs a million times, probably didn't help. Title track was one of my least favorite probably because of that. Dancing in the Dark, I'm on Fire, Downbound Train all were ok. 4/10

No thanks. There are no musical sections to any of these songs. No changes, no interludes/bridges, just cheese phrases from Americana and bah bah bahs. Anyone who listens to this fool is a braindead slob. It is better than captain beefheart though

Just learned this genre is "Heartland Rock." Really not feeling it, found myself skipping quite a few songs. Might be too patriotic as well tbh.

Commercialised, bland, simplistic and forgettable country-flavoured rock music with a lot of very similar songs. But it is not he type of music that is completely unlistenable so I'm giving it a 2.

I'm On Fire and Dancing In The Dark aside, this is pretty rubbish and sounds like it could have been generated by an AI after hearing Born To Run. Not good

I really loved this song... when I was 5. The title track is famous but unimaginative. No other songs are noteworthy, album is boring. There were much better albums in 1984.

Classic American rock.

Very samey and repetitive

men, only needed the title track

mulm

pretty guff I'll be honest. Best thing about it is dat ass on the album cover

I can see the appeal to others, particularly on songs like Dancing in the Dark that run a tad poppier, but I get hung up on not liking the vocals. The songwriting is very interesting but the sound is not my bag.

I receive the Fifth Bruce Springsteen album on the list, the most famous one, I guess, and the worst! Maybe worst is too strong a way to think about it, but it was kind of disappointing to listen to it. Despite the title song, the others are just ok.

I just don’t like Mr Springsteen

'murica

Obnoxious. Some tracks are listenable and I get the whole meaning behind “Born in the USA” but my mind instantly goes to overweight beer-drinking rednecks listening to that song.

Feels like some old man stadium rock. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, no not at all, just not for me

Koffor har eg hørt nesten alle sangane fra før

Like a rust belt party. 2.4

I never understood the hype on Springsteen. I was hoping I’d get it after listening to a full album, but nope. Still not a fan. Listen again: probably not Purchase for my collection: I own it (inherited lol) Favourite Song: cover me

The thing that pisses me off the most is Glory Days. I hate it so much so I can’t believe it is one of the hits off of this album. I’m on fire is so creepy.

It's not really for me. Songs get bland and repetitive quickly

You just have to be American to enjoy Bruce Springsteen, I guess. Regular dad rock - nothing bad, nothing offensive, but nothing that would stick in my mind either.

I just don't enjoy Springsteen's vocal tone and how every line ends in mush mouth. The whole 80s country rock thing just isn't for me and any song that uses the phrase "little girl" while talking about being "on fire" for her gives me the MAJOR ick. Dancing in the Dark is a good song though

Nah. Dancing in the Dark is fun though. 1.5/5

This does nothing for me, although I can see / hear why people like Bruce and identify with the lyrics. I do feel like he is shouting at me most of time though. Enjoyed Dancing In The Dark more than expected. Maybe partly due to familiarity but it does stand out as a great tune and lyrics next to the others here.

Dancing in the Dark and I'm on Fire are cool, but the rest is blatant nostalgia porn. Blech.

Until now the only Springsteen album I was familiar with was "Nebraska", which I thought was stellar, perfect for Springsteen's biting commentary. This album came next in his discography, lauded by fans and critics as one of the greatest albums of all time. It did not live up to the hype. Lots of people describe this album as "Electric Nebraska", since most of the songs on it were recorded during the Nebraska sessions, later re-arranged with the E-Street Band. It's loud, poppy, anthemic, and completely juxtaposed by its lyrics of hardship and injustice. Except it's not. When it comes to Springsteen, taking on such an 80's pop sheen and becoming more overproduced than Atari's "E.T." hurt his style. The title track is great. "Bobby Jean" is a jam. But most other songs don't really hit that mark. And don't even get me started on the cheeseball-fest "Dancing in the Dark", overplayed to high hell on MTV with his other songs. Hell, you can't even dance to it very well (unless you really feel like doing an archaic version of "The Carlton" to the dancefloor's dismay). Overall, if you're a Springsteen fan or just hate Ronald Reagan (guilty as charged, lol), you'll love this album. But it is also very much a product of its time, and sorely in need of a remix that does away with all the bloody synthesizers.

Well made but not my style at all, it was hard to listen to.

:/ downbound train isn't awful

My least favorite Bruce lp Been a fan since 74, have most of his stuff, but this one I can do without The title track is one of the most misunderstood songs But not his best overall

Melodías tan mecánicas y brillosas; letras tan pueriles; y gritos lo suficientemente estridentes como para hacer de la masa cerebral una sustancia informe, y poder hilvanar con ella una alegre disposición al tedio.

Wow, seven top 10 hits from this album! It’s a sure thing right? Nope, this is probably the Boss’ most commercial album so it doesn’t appeal to me at all. This is far too redneck and Murican heartland for me. Give me Born to Run or Darkness on the edge of town instead any day.

Sorry Boss. I'm not really into it in general. It feels way too broad rock n roll and I just don't think it's for me for the most part. 'No Surrender' has got something about it and 'Dancing in the Dark' is a real air-punching tune.

Too much Bruce Springsteen

This is what I expected Bruce Sprinsteen to sound like. Super cheesy and a bit lame. I'm not a fan of this. Fortunately, I found other Springsteen records on this list to be much more interesting and enjoyable. Rating: 2/5 Playlist track: Born in the U.S.A. Date listened: 05/01/23

I can only take Bruce Springsteen in small doses. One song on the radio, fine, but after a few it all starts sounding the same to me and I just want him to stop yelling in my ears. Also, not too happy with having Born In The U.S.A. stuck in my head for the rest of the day..

2.4

I’m a big boss fan, but I never liked this album. I just played it for the first time in years & it hasn’t improved. There isn’t a track on it that I ever got off on. I loved his 70’s output but there are a bunch of his lp’s since then that just didn’t do it for me. This is one of them.

I never got Bruce. His records just don't grab me (exception: Nebraska). I know his songs resonates for a lot of people, but they don’t for me. I think most of his material is, for me, a bit overworked. I listened through, but, honestly, it washes over me every time and I am unmoved. While Born to Run is a bit more focussed than some of his previous Wall of Sound-esque production, the songs are perfectly engineered to go over gangbusters in a stadium show. A lot of credit for the sound should probably go to Bob Clearmoutain’s mixing, which is designed to make the records pop on the radio. Bruce really owns that kind of stadium show (from what I hear), but it's not my cup of tea. This record is bar-band rock and roll, dumbed down and polished up suitable for radio play and stadium sing-alongs. This is not subtle. The lyrics are often clichéd and bombastic, the riffs simple and repetitive. The sparkling sheen of synthesizers and overly-processed drums updates the essentially 60s rock and arrangement, down to the cheesy sax solos. The drum sound offends me so much: the leaden, synthetic beat of this album is heavy on the rock, but squeezes all of the roll out of these songs. I struggle with the lyrical content; Richard Williams in Q magazine described the title track as trying “to bury the anti-war message of Born In The USA beneath an impenetrable layer of clenched-fist bombast". This was, in his view, "downright irresponsible." I find it hard to reconcile his ostensible criticism of Reagan-era America and its treatment of the faux-working class character he portrays (a character based on his fathers and others around him, but not himself, as he freely admits in his Broadway show), with the triumphant presentation (which is easily and often confused with jingoism). Many of the songs have the most ridiculously stooped, lowest common denominator lyrics. “I’m on Fire” is probably the most interestingly arranged song on the record, but a bit creepy. This record strikes me as faux-working-class bellowing over bombastic production, punctuated with unnecessary saxophone solos. At least he has cut down on the mumbling that mars his earlier records.

Not really my thing

I've heard all these songs so much, it's difficult to listen with a fresh perspective, but I really tried to. The lyrics are powerful and provide an interesting commentary on the social climate of the time. I wish I could get over Springsteen's strained vocal performance and uninspiring musical arrangement because I think the songwriting is brilliant.

"Boomer: The Album"

The sleepiest goddamn rock album I've ever listened to. 2/5 at best.

Corny.

Bruce is good but idrfw this album

It’s got a few tunes it’s got some filler - it’s not something I’d go back to.

Aldri vore fan av Springsteen Men var på konsert med han ein gong for mange år sidan for nokon ga vekk billettar Er fortsatt ikkje fan 3

While definitely not my typical album, there's no denying that Dancing in the Dark and Born in the USA are incredible Hits
