Born To Run

Super classic album. I really enjoyed listening through this album. Some absolute classics and some songs I've never heard

Yeee Bruce Spingsteen. First time listening to Bruce, good stuff. Favorite song was Born to Run. 7.5/10

Great rock album, big sound, and classic Springsteen

Fantastic album, 2 all time great songs. a really great mix of anthems and ballads with the fantastic story telling by the boss

I couldn’t even finish this album. I completely understand the impact in the following he has, but his music is just not for me.

I get why this album is classic springsteen, but not for me

aardig

Ok yay ❤️

Love this album - a true classic from the Boss. Thunder Road is one of my favorite songs of his and this album is spun often in our house. 4/5

Nostalgic album. Good songs

A fucking classic!

I don't usually dive much deeper than his hits, but Bruce is Bruce... They call him The Boss for a reason. Every album of his is probably worth a listen cover to cover.

Very overrated

Ekki slæm en ekki fyrir mig

Bara ... allt í lagi. Ekkert eftirminnilegt nema titillag.

Okay so I'm 20 albums in and this is my third Springsteen album. I rated the other two 4/5 but this whole time those ratings felt weird cause I wasn't excited every time another album of his came up, like each song I could tell was a great song and lyrics, right up my alley, but I didn't enjoy it per se. Anyway, this album has made me realize it's because I don't like his voice. This makes sense as I have always enjoyed covers of his songs but never gotten into his music. I didn't like these songs as much as the other ones though (Nebraska & Born In the U.S.A.) so overall nothing really stood out to me on this one other than bad (his voice) and good (Born to Run).

Not sure I’ve listened to a Springsteen album start to finish. It’s a big sound, accomplished, great voice and flow. A lot of energy and heart and great for live performances that he is so renowned for. Maybe not something I would go back to, too often, as choice. But can notice its quality and energy and happy enough with that. Go Bruce! (3.5)

Until starting this list I was never a fan of Springsteens but this is my third album of his and all three have gotten the full five stars. This doesn’t come close to Nebraska but it’s still a brilliant album, can’t find anything bad to say about it. Top Track - Backstreets

I liked it but there's something that didn't sound quite right for me - I'm blaming my speakers. Would like to revisit! 4

Bruce's breakout album and one of his best works. Never had been a big Springsteen fan and don't rate is as high as others would place it. It's a perfectly fine and enjoyable record with some of hits and good production for the mid 70s.

I'm not a huge bruce fan but this is a heck of an album. Moves quick and has some real interesting moments. Issa 5

I hadn’t listened to this since the 80’s. I owned it on 8 track, album and cassette. Had forgotten how there was so much unique instrumentation on each song. Enjoyed this a lot more than I could thought I would.

Bossed it

Moi aussi je suis comme Guillaume et je donne sans hésitation des 5 étoiles à Bruce. Juste pour Thunder Road c'est mérité...

Ben de la misère avec Bruce. J'aimerais aimer mais rien ne m'accroche là. Je trouve la musique répétitive et les thèmes ennuyants. J'ai préféré Darkness on the edge of town.

Je vois bruce, je donne 5. Facile Blague à part ce n’est pas mon préféré mais c’est quand même celui qui l’a catapulté au superstardom et qui contient une des chansons les plus iconiques des 70s avec Born to Run. J’aime aussi beaucoup Tenth Avenue Freeze-out et la longuette Jungleland. Mais bon je peux comprendre la réticence de Félix sur les thèmes redondants!

wowzers

Boss - classic but not keen on his voice

I enjoyed this album a lot! I'd listen to it again happily. I was surprised to be a Springsteen fan XD

All timer. Incredible. 10/10

The Boss... what else ?

I don’t know much about Springsteen, but for some reason I’ve always had a good impression of him – an unpretentious musician doing his thing without drama. This album (apparently one of his early ones) only confirmed my impression. Although it’s not my musical cup of tea, I can recognize the talent. It’s got heart, and Springsteen sounds like he’s having fun. Musically speaking, it’s a bit overproduced for my taste, but also richer than I expected. There’s a lot of different influences, and I don’t quite know how to define the end product – orchestral blues-pop ? Some instruments sound rehashed and artificial, but you can feel the artist is at least trying to build something that goes beyond consensual country-rock. The result sounds surprisingly modern for a 1975 album. Lyrically speaking, it’s cheesy, but in a honest way. He’s talking to and about the common people (without being a conservative prick, which is in itself a feat when you rely so heavily on the "Heart of America" mythos), and he’s not pretending to be something he’s not. A reasonnably pleasant listen overall, but I doubt I’ll ever come back to it. I’ll give it a 2,5* for effort, and round it up to 3* for honesty.

Saved by the title track...sounds like the soundtrack of a cheesy TV soap from the 70's...this piano, I can't stand it !

I don't get the hype.

I don’t like it and I have no interest for that album that was really annoying for me to listen to it

Wolves and trucks again :) Springsteen comes across as a good guy, a sort of blue-collar poster boy, but his music just doesn’t do it for me. The rock routines feel flat, the sax solos don’t move me, and the forced enthusiasm gets tiring. It’s polished rock made for live-shows, pretty boring.

1st half is way better than the last half. Great album though. I see why Meatloaf ripped it off, lol

Love the title song.

He knows how to tell a story, and the flow of the record is intriguing. His voice hadn't gone raspy yet and I appreciate all the instruments involved. Overall it just doesn't resonate with me.

Not my favorite Springsteen album but still worth a listen.

So, Bruce, Da Boss, is undeniably a talented lyricist (and composer if he's in charge of that, idk). He's got the energy, a great ensemble, and just gives it his all. Folks absolutely adore him. I'm not one of those people. It just does not resonate with me. Like I can't even critically try to say it has problems, but for me this album isnt a stellar achievement. Maybe that's an overstatement but it was no more enjoyable than many of the albums I've listened to this far.

First Springsteen album i've ever heard. I appreciate the album more on 2nd listen when looking at the lyrics. First listen, I was impressed with how great the band was, and very mixed on Bruce. Lyrics are a bit hard to follow without reading them. Band is just awesome. Back before the days of synth and digital mixes, it's awesome to hear proper full band rock out. Harmonica, Sax solos, very different from rock today. I'm not sure how I feel about Bruce. On some tracks his voice is ok, but others it just sticks out way too much and doesn't fit. Like Randy Newman doing rock. Anyway this album was I guess Springsteen's real "coming out" album and I can see how it would connect with a younger generation from it's storytelling. I like that the album doesn't focus so much on success with money and relationships, but more so on taking chances, and with that there is success and failure. In this regard I liked Thunder Road, Backstreets and Meeting Across the River, and Night. Thunder Road - Asking the girl to take a chance and go make their own lives together elsewhere. Backstreets - 2 friends that just kind of lost their friendship over time and missing that old connection. Meeting Across the River - Down on his luck criminal just wanting the chance for that big score to make it. Just a cool perspective. Night - Work sucks. We're all just working away for that bit of time to enjoy our lives. Overall it's a great album, but something about Springsteen bothers me and I can't quite pinpoint it. It almost feels like a curated album to brute force Springsteen into success. Maybe because i'm not a huge fan of his singing (yelling?) and the E Street Band is awesome and overshadows Springsteen...in my opinion.

Liked this way more than i thought i would. Makes me happy im doing this project now to (1) have a reference point for BRUUUUUUCE and (2) to know that ive grown some: i listened to nebraska years ago on thomas’ recommendation and just was like ehhhhh but now i feel id get it more. FYE! FIVE! Also im doing fours again bc this shit is too overly simplified

Best to ever do it.

I don't know what to say about this album. I felt it was pretty good but lacked something, but I can't say what exactly. I don't know, it was too soft-sounding for my taste, but beyond that, I can't say. It’s very well produced and a lot more detailed than typical pop rock albums, so at least it has that going for it. 7/10

Very infectious album to listen to that just makes you feel good. Not the biggest fan of Springsteen's vocals, but there is something interesting about them that works in the context of his music. Overall, very enjoyable, with the standout being Born to Run Itself, which is just a fantastic piece of music that Inplannto be listening to well into the future.

I don’t know why but I expected it to sound like Top Gun. It didn’t. I could never really understand what he was saying but I definitely enjoyed the vibe even though his voice kind of annoyed me. I liked the piano introductions. Adding it to my running playlist immediately 7.3/10

This is so fun! Wanna jump around and laugh like I’m in a cheesy commercial or the “getting ready” opening sequence in a romcom. The horns, the piano, the strings, all of it just made this so enjoyable. Very much feel like this whole album could be the score of a movie on its own. The only thing is his voice is a little bit harsher than I usually like, but it works for him in some of the songs. 8/10

If America dissolved as a country, playing a Bruce Springsteen album for people of the next empire would be a good way to show them what normal America was like in 1973. Nothing special but very special all at once. Like your mom’s meatloaf, everyone thinks you’re crazy for saying it’s amazing but it just hits the spot.

This was a fun one! His voice takes some getting used to, but I loved the variety of the songs. I honestly don’t know why I haven’t listened to more Springsteen, I listen to this genre and this era a lot!

This album was everything I want in music. Chaotic, rebellious, youthful, quite literally gas. Bruce Springsteen is just the Zach Bryan of the 80s'. Born to Run will be played over and over and over again. Bruce Springsteen is so much more than an Old Head.

I liked some parts but it was all a little too shiny for me. If that makes sense. Almost giving show-tune vibes, which I often like. Some parts were nostalgic but overall not for me.

The sound of this album was abrasive. It was shrill, overwhelming and intense. Springsteen sounded like he was shouting basically on every track. Combining a lack of nuance with overproduction, this record was noisy. There were musical elements that I liked, like the saxophone, harmonica, piano. But every instrument was attacking my ears. The musical moments that I liked were overshadowed by dense mixes. The back half of this album really saved it, in my opinion. There was more subtlety and musicality, and, frankly, the songs were more pleasing. I just wish the instruments weren’t muddy and harsh. 6/10 Standouts: Born to Run She’s the One Meeting Across the River Jungleland

Not really my style.

Classic album. Good album.

pretty nicee ★★★½

Outstanding! A classic in every regard with masterfully arranged music, creative lyrics and unparalleled vocals.

Was never a fan of the Boss, but after listening to most of the crap on this list, it sounds pretty damn good.

Better than I thought and some good bass lines in there too (Backstreets I think). I wouldn't choose it but I'd listen to it!

Dad- 8 Mom- 8 Mike- NA Lori- 4 Michael- 8 Miles- NA Cole- 4 Avg- 6.4

Gapigt och generiskt

Enjoyable. 3 and a half stars.

I always had a weak spot for The Boss. it started back in 1984, when I was only ten, with Born in the USA. my next album (or actually box) were his live recordings from 1975-1985. From here my journey to his older work began, and although this is not my personal favourite album of the early seventies, it shows his master craft and his determination to make that one million record selling album. Which he did. Still, a great listen to me, albeit sometimes a little to overproduced for my liking, but still with great tracks, like "Jungleland" or the little hidden gem "meeting Across the River" apart from of course "Born to Run" itself. 4/5

I haven't listened to more than the title track and Thunder Road in ages but it's still very good.

Some huge anthems, but the impact of them is slightly blunted by the way he starts every song at 100% energy, so there's nowhere else to go

Bruce Springsteen is an undeniable master storyteller, but it's always been his presentation that's failed to connect with me. The boomer nostalgia rock-and-roll sound with the saxophone and piano just doesn't work for me. I much prefer "Nebraska" which is just Bruce's gravelly voice, his wonderfully poetic lyrics, and an accoustic guitar. 3 stars.

Vėlgi, bruce ne man.

Rating: 3.4 He sounds like Robert Smith and Tom Waits had a kid that outperforms both of them by 100 times. A little bit too haughty and corny sounding for my tastes but I’d try it again someday if someone forced me to listen to it.

I’m not listening to Bruce man

It’s Bruce nuff said.

This album exhibits yearning and romanticizing for me, I love the nostalgia feel this album gives. Gritty, honest, like I’m being told a story in these songs. Can’t do halves for stars so my real score is 4.5/5 stars :)

I have a friend who's a massive Bruce fan. In college, at house parties, at some point in the evening, he would inevitably find a perch on a chair, stoop, or a hood of a car and singing at the top of his lungs, would lead the party in a sing-along of Born to Run. Good times. Take that, Mr. Brightside. Anyway, truth be told, I've never listened to this album from start to finish. Shame on me.

The soundtrack of my youth. My mother is a huge Bruce fan, so his albums were always playing on the record player.

First time listening to Bruce Springsteen. A good start to jump into this 1001 album adventure. Old-fashioned rock and roll with a bit of twinge. It was a good listen that felt right for the week I've had. A 7/10 for me. Mini0n, 28/08/2025

Meh

I am in an odd quantum state where I like Bruce Springsteen as an artist, but I like hardly any of his songs. The 2nd star is for the title track alone

I have underestimated Bruce Springsteen

Außerhalb des musikhistorischen Kontexts mir leider zu gewöhnlich, Gitarre löst nix aus in mir, Klavier manchmal ganz cool, Stimme leider eher anstrengend. Konnte ich aber gut durchhören.

What a great album, would hate, if they made a cringy hollywood movie about the creation process.

I knew half of the songs already going into this, but it doesn't really resonate with me. I think I prefer my Bruce stripped down or when he's more economical. I get what they were reaching for, but for me it's too grand, and too flabby

Je sais pas si je vais trouver un album de Springsteen à mon goût un jour... J’aimerais ça, aimer la musique de Bruce Springsteen. C’est un bon bonhomme sympathoche, mais sa musique ne me rejoint pas. C’est des bonnes tounes, de bons musiciens, de bonnes compositions, de bons arrangements... Mais ça ne lève pas pour moi. Je ne désespère pas, je vais finir par en trouver un à mon goût.

This sounds like "safe" rock music. It's comforting in some way. His strength appears to be his vocal delivery, rather than his creativity or lyricism. Kinda a snoozer.

Too young for this.

It's like a great sandwich but you put too many tomatoes in it, and it soaks the bread too much. You still eat it and is delicious, but every bite is a bit uncomfortable.

Fantastically done album by Springsteen

No brainer! Top 5. Perfect album. Jungleland is an all time favorite song. Knockout! 10.0!

Asi ok ale príde mi to moc americke

I dont understand the appeal of this guy

Not my kind of music but I really enjoyed his voice.

23/08/2025 I just don't understand the hype around Springsteen, it's all very boring. Spotify listeners: 20.3 million.

Amazing record by the boss!

Not bad.

4.5. Класика Крутий альбом, Брюс тут дуже щиро звучить.

Дуже люблю і поважаю Боса, колись читав його автобіографію й в той момент якраз переслухав всю дискографію. Born To Run, мабуть, найвідоміший його альбом, чи принаймні один з. Сподіваюсь в цьому списку ще буде, наприклад, nebraska або the rising, але не можна не віддати належне Брюсу на цій класиці. І звісно ж саксофон Кларенса Клемонса, який став такою саме фірмовою фішкою саунду Спрінгстіна, як і його телекастер.

Chill, suena a musica de tomodachi life

That was nice

Solid Bruce Springsteen rock and roll. Good album. Best song: Thunder Road

Pleasantly surprised by this album overall. The bands story telling and sound was very good.

The Boss didn’t disappoint in this album

This probably would've been a 5 if he had the vocal control of his later albums like Nebraska or Born in the USA. Alas, he did not at this point and that kinda hurt the rating here. His storytelling is immaculate, hurts and makes it feel real and yet joyful in a howling at the moon sort of way. Also the random saxophone solos in every song was great, for many other artists it would feel cheesy and forced. This man has earned his reputation and respect.

still not a fan of his voice, so I was shocked that I actually enjoyed this album. great instruments/ variations/ arrangements. 3.5 only due to his voice

I know this is a classic, beloved album. But I've never been a Springsteen fan. This album didn't convert me.

What a great album. Thunder Road is among the best. The rest of it is good. The album might be short, but it doesn't waste a minute.

Such a banger.

Oh Man, The Boss! I like being rewarded with great albums as I seem to wade through the Swamps of Dagabah with some of these albums.. Thunder Road, 10th Ave (so many great memories seeing the band live finishing off with this one) Born to Run and Jungleland. brilliant writing, brilliant album.

YUPPPP

Good album. Great album? It does one thing and does it pretty well, which is be a Bruce album. Born to Run and Thunder Road are great singalongs, the energy is high, the lyrics evocative, the E street band all blasting away, but there's nothing that makes this more than what it is. I like it. Do I love it? I dunno - it manages to be only 40 minutes and feel longer, which isn't necessarily a negative but something I think about. Also, sometimes: too much piano makes me think of Billy Joel. So it gets dinged, even if that means my wife divorces me.

A classic

Moving and emotional exuberance on this record from The Boss. This record seems to have much more gravitas than Born in the U.S.A. He shines bright on this album and it shows the level of work and commitment he put into it, learning from his previous releases.

Got a few decent tunes, each song has the ‘epic’ feel to it. Feels a bit samey as the album progresses and Bruce can be a bit shouty.

This is the first Springsteen album that got me to start listening seriously to what he was doing. Great music, great writing and seriously great rock’n’roll.

An absolute classic

Amazing lyrics with amazing music. The songs are very narrative and packed with imagery, it really accomplishes Springsteen’s goal of making an album where all the songs take place over a long summer day. Impeccable songwriting and arrangements, played by great musicians.

I listened to this on headphones in the office, and realised during Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out that I was grinning like an idiot at my desk. It's not my favourite Springsteen album (Darkness on the Edge of Town slightly edges it out), but it's still a really good time.

Good album.

Classic stuff!!!! Incredible album that everyone should listen to at least once.

Seminal album. Life-affirming, epic, euphoric, emotional, pretty everything all in one place. It's actually surprising how much this grew on me ever since I first heard it. The every-so-slight call back to 60's pop in the production is just... *chef's kiss* Key tracks: Thunder Road Night Backstreets Born to Run

The boss!

For meget flødesax.

Love Springsteen so close to a 5 the songs are just a bit too similar.

Pretty good, felt a bit standard rock for me

It's a constant classic. The intro to "Night" is one of my favorite guitar riffs.

Very solid, 8 tracks that slips, lots of cool sax and a very successfull album. I guess meeting accross the river is the weakest, but barely

I can't listen to this. Too much noise hammering away at the same time. It's like everyone in the band is screaming "listen to me" while trying to play louder and more frenetically than the guy next to him.

I always liked the title track. It's probably one of his best songs. I think the piano really shines on this album.

every song sounded like the end credits of a movie. lots of catchy licks (it’s basically completely made up of licks). thunder road is a good song. surprising amount of glockenspiel overall

I wasn’t super familiar with Bruce Springsteens game outside of his blockbuster hits. Getting a little deeper dive I get it. Yes sometimes it sounds like he’s got sand in his mouth but man it works.

6/10 No es mucho mi estilo, grupo favorito de mi tio

A very Americana album. Wants me make a hot dog real bad.

man some of these songs just sound so BIG. bigger than life.

heard this once or twice before this came up as my album for today, but i'll listen again for rating purposes Thunder Road - 5/5 Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out - 4/5 Night - 4/5 Backstreets - 4/5 Born to Run - 5/5 She's the One - 3/5 Meeting Across the River - 3/5 Jungleland - 5/5 Average score: 4.1/5

Pretty good there are some fantastic songs and some alright songs. Enjoyed it

I didn't need to listen to this album because every note is ingrained in my mind and have seen most of the songs on it dozens of times as a huge Springsteen fan. That said, it was great to just sit down in front of my record player and listen to it through which I don't do that often. This one is notable for Springsteen for being one of his few (only?) albums where the songs don't sound meaningfully better live...not that they are worse live, but the work in the studio here paid off to create a huge wonderful sound.

When it comes to classic great albums this is one that is perfect from beginning to end. She's The One, the title track. and Backstreets are stone cold classics.

2,5/5 Decisamente non il mio genere, non penso avessi mai ascoltato qualcosa di Bruce Springsteen quindi buono che è qualcosa di nuovo. Forse non ho capito l’album nessuna canzone mi ha colpito al primo ascolto

I like Springsteen, but his vocals on “Backstreets” is one of the most grating vocal performances I’ve EVER experienced

nicht wirklich mein stil.

Love this. Heard it 200 times

This is my second Springsteen album in three days. This is far better than Born in the USA. A lot of genuinely good songs on this one.

I feel like I am supposed to really like Bruce, but I’m afraid after a few songs they al started to sound the same to me.

For me, not relatable. His music invokes images of suburban america

I’m truly just not a Bruce fan

A perfectly good rock album, but the songs felt a little too meandering at times.

"Born to Run" was pretty good until the saxophone solo. Otherwise, kind of an uninteresting album.

that’s my goat

proof american exceptionalism isnt real

Overall good -- Kinda sexy, but a little annoying. Like me :)

Great album, but I think Darkness at the Edge of Time is better.

I like this one. Wasn't amazing to me but I get it for sure. 3 stars

Sounds very much like Bruce Springsteen. He's a craftsman, not an artist. Not a bad song on the album, but it's all not very adventurous. Favorite song: Born to Run.

very good

I’m not a huge Springsteen fan, and honestly, I don’t think Born to Run is even his best album. It has its moments though. The title track is iconic for a reason, but overall, it doesn’t win me over. “Jungleland” is probably the highlight, but even that track feels about four minutes longer than it needs to be.

Inte min grej, för Bruce Springsteenigt, det är också historier men jag gillar inte instrumenten tror jag och hans röst så mycket.

Day573 - iconic. lyrically one of my favorite artists. this is just about a perfect album

banger

it was pretty good! I like his voice a lot and great instrumentals. 7/10

I can’t take to Springsteen however hard I try. This one is all a bit samey in an overblown way. It’s just too much. Too much saxophone, too busy. His voice is so overwrought at times I find it almost laughable. However there are some gems in here, that I can’t deny. And it’s better than Nebraska

keine starken songs außer born to run vielleicht. alles irgendwie sehr ähnlich

He’s a legend, but not my cuppa tea

thunder road- 5 tenth avenue freeze out- 6 night- 6 backstreets- 6 born to run- 7 shes the one- 5 or 6 meeting across the river- 5 jungleland- 6 thanks, bruce

Think this is my 3rd Springsteen album and i feel like i confidently say i dont care for his music

I listened to this in the most optimal setting I an imagine: driving to work at 3am. It hit all the right notes. On a deeper level, I love how much musicianship is on the recording. Little trills and flourishes which points to the kind of creative collaboration that is necessary for a great album.

Not for me!

Couldn't get into this one and found it uninspiring musically. Never understood the hype to be honest and still feel the same. Maybe you understand it more if you are American or something?

Not much new to say about this one. Just a classic.

A pretty solid album here. I didn't like it as much as the previous Springsteen album but still good.

One of the best

Lot of bangers on this one

Competently played, boring music. I just can't do piano and sax.

Like most artists on this list, I haven't heard much of them besides the hits. This starts off with "Thunder Road" which is one of those hits that I've grown to love. I like that this album is a normal ~40 minutes, but only 8 songs, so we really get some longer tracks. If done right, it gives the songs a chance to develop. Most of these achieve that and they don't feel played out or get boring. "Backstreets" being a good example of this. Bruce's voice is so recognizable and just fits this genre so well. I enjoyed this entire album more than I thought I would going in! (3.5/5) Favorites: - Thunder Road - Backstreets - Born to Run - Jungleland

This is going to be a recurring sentence, but this was my first full album for this artist. A few more songs, and I might have started getting annoyed with his gravelly voice, but overall this was solid. I’m also always a sucker for saxophone. Favorite tracks: - Thunder Road - Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out - Born to Run

The best

I respect the hell out of him, but I just don’t get the appeal.

Nope, not for me. 2.5?

Amazing. Ci sono un paio di canzoni di cui non mi frega nulla ma ha momenti così alti che non posso dare altro voto

niente da aggiungere. cinque su otto di queste canzoni sono tra le mie preferite di sempre.

Molto godibile ma non al pari di altri che ha fatto

Bruce Springsteen - born to run Жанр: wall of sound Музыкальная сторона: этот альбом имеет очень хорошую музыкальную составляющую, хороший саксофон, певец, ну и конечно же шедевральная фортепианка. Альбом довольно короткий, пролетает быстро, но он не ровный, одни треки лучше других, а ещё концовка лучше начала. В итоге 4/5 за музыкальную сторону. Продакшн: не заметил ничего интересного, только весь финальный трек эти шедевр, каклй там продакшн не заметил. Смысл: побег Влияние: особого прям влияния не было на индустрию, просто классический альбом. Плюсы: хороший инструментал, шедевральная фортепианка (без нее было бы вообще не то), ну и альбом не скучный вообще. Минусы: скудный продакшн, пару проходных треков Худший трек: backstreet. Лучший трек: бесспорно jungleband, это вообще шедевр. Кому стоит слушать: любителям фортепианки и джаза. Итог: 4/5, крепкий хороший альбом, звучит как прадед black country new road

Seems a bit unamerican but injustice cant get into Bruce Springsteen for some reason.

My introduction to this record, and to Springsteen generally, was Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s cover of the title track which I still think packs a lot of punch. I love the meandering tunes and the stories, characters and places on this record. It’s all very cinematic - an album you can lose yourself in, especially if you have the lyrics in front of you. And that full band sound is just perfect. Hard to believe this record is fifty years old, it certainly doesn’t sound it.

Off the cuff remark: I so much want to like Springsteen more than I do. Love, what I know of, his attitude and politics and he has some genuinely great / classic songs but in all honesty a whole Springsteen album is something I enjoy but doesn't set me on fire. This is no exception. Standout track: Born to Run (obviously) but I also like Meeting Across the River Revisit?: I have most Springsteen albums and revisit each time wanting to like more than I do. Expect I will again.

Слушал больше фоном, показалось, слушать можно. Во всяком случае, ничего раздражающего не припомню, хотя и мурашки от востогра тоже не бегали. 6 из 10.

Most bearable Springsteen album. It will not get better than this.

Infumable

Thunder Road is probably my favorite Bruce Springsteen. The storytelling is brilliant. "The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways" is perfectly written. "Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet," so many memorable lines.What a magnificent album. So much nostalgia. Work of art. Five stars

Coool

Bruce är stabil

a defining rock album that broke Springsteen out of his commercial failures in the first 2 albums and sought to emulate Specter's Wall of Sound production. It incorporated broader, more pop-centric musicality and also sought to encapsulate broader and more accessible feelings of feeling trapped and wanting to escape to a better life.

Not a Bruce Springsteen fan so…

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*I liked Born in the US better. This was Thunder Road and Born to Run, with a bunch of songs that sounded like watered down versions of those two songs as filler. *Fave track - Thunder Road RATING - 6.5/10

I’m not a huge Bruce guy, but this album is pretty good. Not too long, and half the songs on it are hits. 3+

Everything Bruce does is imbued with so much heart and emotion and feeling, it makes for such a special listening experience Jungleland 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

“Tenth Avenue Freeze-out” just wasn’t very good. It’s like weird and folky and big band? Idk how else to explain it. It’s not very punchy. “Backstreets” was repetitive and equally unenjoyable. I find something about it so obnoxious. “Born to Run” equally annoying :(. Not enough bass in the mix.

It is hard to write about Born to Run because it means so much to me. This album is incredibly important in my life and I genuinely listen to it every single week. It is perfect. It is also almost impossible for me to choose between this and Born in the U.S.A.. On different days either one could be my favourite. They both sit right at the very top for me. This record has everything. It builds with intent and power. The sound is huge and cinematic, yet deeply personal. The lyrics are heartfelt, romantic and full of longing. Every song feels like it is chasing something bigger. And then there is Thunder Road. I absolutely adore that song. For me it is the greatest song ever written. From the opening piano to the final line, it is hope, escape, love and belief wrapped into five perfect minutes. It moves me every single time. There is not a single thing I would change about this album. Every track matters. Every track is five stars. Favourite song: Thunder Road. The greatest song ever written. Least favourite: None. Every song is flawless. Album artwork: Iconic. Even better on vinyl when you open the sleeve and see The Big Man standing tall beside him.

4/5

To open an album with a harmonica intro is audacious. It’s raw, it’s emotional. But ultimately it’s Bruce. Classic album. Meeting across the river possibly one crossing too much. Brought back with the crescendo of jungleland. The classic born to run the holding the middle of the album together.

Thunder Road… enough said. 5*

Oh this was brilliant!!

1. Thunder Road - 8 Springsteen's vocals are a little hard to understand or make out on the track, but instrumentally this song is excellent. It gets increasingly better as the track progresses. 2. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out - 9 Very good track. The piano is the unsung hero of this song personally. It sounds amazing and the chorus is one line repeated but not enough to make the song redundant. All around a good track. 3. Night - 6 Instrumentally it's a great sound. I cannot, however, make out a word of what is being sung on this track. Vocally it just sounds completely incomprehensible. 4. Backstreets - 5 This song has the exact same problem Night does. Bruce is bellowing out his vocals but the hoarse nature of his voice down the lyrics into the loud bombastic music and make them almost impossible to follow. Guitar solo in the middle of the track is excellent, as is the piano that maintains the beat throughout the track. It's even greater on the bridges, which vocally are understandable but extremely repetitive, too much so. 5. Born to Run - 10 A summer anthem this. Arguably Springsteen's greatest ever track. Instrumentally it's outstanding and vocally it's was more understandable than the previous two tracks, with catchy lyrics that will make you want to sing along with it in full volume. The sax solo adds so much flavour to the track and is a classic Springsteen touch both in his line of work and on this album. Fantastic track. 6. She's The One - 6 Another mainly incomprehensible track but not entirely and the instrumentals are very enjoyable. 7. Meeting Across The River - 4 Vocally it's the weakest song on the album, even if it's way more understandable than the other tracks. I don't find Springsteen's voice historically to be all that great and this album has really highlighted that. Despite some excellent tracks like Born to Run, it's filled with a lot of songs you have to blow over because you just can't understand them and the ones that you do, like this track, it sounds as if octave and pitch are struggled to be held onto through the longer, final words of the lines no matter if they're found in the chorus or verse. The real strength of Springsteen is in his use the instruments he selects and how well they perform in harmony with each other. 8. Jungleland - 10 Best track on the album by far. Absolutely brilliant piano to start the track before an superb greeting of the other instruments. It's accompanied by an body moving guitar solo that elevate the song further. The sax raises the song up even further, leading to a wonderful collection of music. The ending two minutes somber but complete. Excellent track. Average Rating: 7.25 Adjusted to a 5-Point Scale: 3.63 Rounded Up: 4 Stars

Having obviously listened to Born To Run (song) without listening to Born To Run (album) more times than I care to admit, I can honestly say listening to this record front to back was a real joy. Springsteen is a genius.

We have Elvis at home. Elvis at home:

It's all-right

It's a hands-down five-star album. Period. So anywayyyyy.... Here are my predictions for the new Springsteen biopic: - Scenes of a difficult childhood and parents who disapprove of his musical pursuit. - Overwrought dialogue along the lines of "Why do you want this so bad, Bruce?". "Because they said I couldn't have it!" - "Aha" moment while riding a motorcycle (on Highway 9, of course) that leads to writing the song "Born to Run." - Actor portraying "Little Steven" Van Zandt watched too much "Sopranos". Plays him as more Jersey gangster than guitarist. - The contribution of WMMS DJ Kid Leo (and Cleveland Rock radio in general) to Springsteen's success is completely overlooked. WMMS played "Born to Run" at 5pm every single Friday for many decades, don't forget. - The movie gets Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor in a Leading Role nominations at the Academy Awards. Subtract one star for each prediction I get right.

4.5

BEST SONGS: - She's the One - Meeting Across the River

ok

I don’t usually pick Bruce Springsteen to listen to, but I generally enjoy his music. I do hear some of his songs often enough though - Thunder Road is one such - because my husband is a huge Springsteen fan.

Bruce Springsteen: Born To Run: I cannot say this was bad, but I really didn't care for it. Very boring imo, and his voice is really not great. Too raspy and not in a good way. The instrumentations aren't bad, some of the bass and piano work is rather solid actually, but the songs are just not really that enjoyable to listen to, if that makes sense. I would say I'm dissapointed but I know I don't like bruce springsteen so its about what I expected. Just feels very bland despite not beint talentless stuff. 5/10

Perro discazo pero carajo, LE URGE UNA REMASTERIZADA. Se escucha horrible.

The 70's were my favorite era of Springsteen and this was one of his best alongside Darkness on the Edge of Town. His neck was on the line with his label and he needed to deliver on this album and deliver he did! This album has such a huge sound and so many great moments with Clarence Clemons' Jungleland solo being one of my favorites. It's a legendary album and an easy 5-star rating.

Not a fan of the Boss, but this record is full of hits. Hits that, oddly enough, I don't mind terribly.

born to run i nights top

This album is brutal. I hope his others are better because if this is the best of the Boss, he may be the most overrated artist.

I mean, it's The Boss. I was raised on this music by my father, who preferred "Born in the USA" and Springsteen's 80's/90's era stuff. I knew Thunderroad and Born to Run, of course, but it was that last song, Jungleland, that absolutely floored me. Sad, soulful, with the blues influence so thoroughly worn on its sleeve you couldn't possibly ignore it. Damn and a half.

Worth five stars on the power of Thunder Road and Tenth Avenue Freeze Out.

Couple of classics. Lots of filler.

I don’t think this ages well. It’s a bit of a groany, mumbly mess with some theatre-esque piano chords and folksy blandery. I get that he’s supposedly an icon and all that but not for me thx.

There is the odd artist where I just refuse to accept the popular view and even the critics seems to love him. Its just dull ramblings of a man that sounds like he is old and smokes 60 a day. I think its the folk meets rock I just dont like (not just Bruce). Artists that too are famed for their story telling and narrative. In the defence of Bruce I am undoubtedly an individual that prioritises sound over narrative. Basically I struggle to intellectually engage with lyrics (which would add context and depth to the music) while also deconstructing all the component parts of the music composition. Anyway tone set. I do question people that clearly love him. Do you really see variation from one song to the next or are you loving the idea of the struggle or whatever he is giving out? No idea as was not listening to the lyrics remember. Least not this time as cant be bothered.

I know I dislike this album so I tried to turn the listen into something productive and work out why. Firstly, the voice isn't great, but then I like many bands where the singing isn't objectively excellent. The music is derivative, but then I like lots of bands that are rehashes on old themes and that is very much the nature of guitar based rock music. I think it comes down to a perceived lack of authenticity, a feeling of being overly commercial, crowd pleasing, and inoffensive to the point of banality. Ultimately I have no emotional connection whatsoever when I listen to his album, but fair enough for those that do.

Average and samey

Damn, this author sure loves Bruce Springsteen. The album wasn't half bad, by that I mean that half of the album was good.

Good album 👍 Springsteen’s lyrics are great, he does a great job painting pictures of America in both the good and the bad, and his own personal experiences. There are some great songs on here too, but the album as a whole just didn’t really grab me. I’m glad I listened to it, but I’ll probably just listen to the songs I really liked in the future.

Maybe not quite as good as born in the USA that I got a few months ago but still also 4 stars

reminded me of a grungy meatloaf. what meatloaf would sound like if you left it out for a bit.. bc it would get denser from the wall of soudn instead o..f mold:)

I was actually really surprised by how much I did NOT like this. Bruce Springsteen kinda sounds like Jimmy Fallon doing an impression of Bruce Springsteen, like it doesn’t sound like an actual person sounds like that. I don’t think I will purposefully listen to a Springsteen song again. My mom is from New Jersey and she’s gonna be sad to find out I do not like this guy

This album felt like listening to a musical for some reason. Good thing I like musicals.

I'm not a thespian I'm an ameripian. Enjoyed way more than I expected. Is this what normal people think Queen/Billy Joel/other bullshit karaoke music sounds like?? Fav song: Thunder Road

Thunder Road reminds me a lot of Meatloaf. Some great hits here others not as great.

I can't believe how much piano there is throughout this album, I never realized his music was so piano-heavy. I really liked this album, and see why it was so influential and important when it came out.

Lol we happened to listen to this album on vinyl on the 4th of July a few days ago. Lauren's parents love The Boss and kept asking for the volume to be turned up. Bruce's singing voice is a bit much for me sometimes, but the music is just incredible.

Bruce Springsteen sounds like if Elvis was trying to sing in East Frisian. Please refer back to my last 2 Bruce Springsteen reviews. The guy sings like he is either constantly drunk or has Cerebral Palsy. Either way, I don't understand the hype behind this guy - every album I've listened to apart from Born In The U.S.A has just been terrible. It's actually unreal how similar this sounds to Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf. I know they were written around the same time, and I did read that Meatloaf was inspired by BTR. Bat Out of Hell is a 5 star album, this is not. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out was probably the best song on this album. Everything else is just plagued by Bruce Springsteen's mumbling, drunken nonsense. I may as well have copy and pasted my review of Darkness On the Edge of Town, it's pretty much more of the same - except this record is better in every way (thank fuck). And I doubt we can top his genuinely horrifying 9/11 album. Anyways, if The Rising was a 1, and Darkness is a 2; I'd probably give this one a 2.5, but since I can't do that, it gets demoted to a 2. Normally I'd round up, but I can't stand his stupid fucking voice, fuck you Bruce Springsteen. I do really appreciate Bruce Springsteen's innate ability to make a short album feel like an eternity. I managed to write most of my review while listening and I was still bored out of my mind. Cheers mate.

Listening to Born to Run (the song) and crying about how this same guy was responsible for The Rising, damn I know 9/11 really buck broke the people of the US but these two are really night and day. Bruce gets a lot of flack for his 7-beers deep tone of singing while he tries to capture the deeper vocal stylings of Roy Orbison but I think it fits the bands

Instrumentals are very impressively performed and put together, which certainly helped the album for me. I did enjoy the songwriting too. Springsteen’s vocals don’t quite sit with me on most tracks, it might be a style that grows on you, but it sounds to me like a fella at Karaoke 15 beers deep. With that in mind, I think Bruce sounds better when he is belting out sections, rather than on the more mellow parts. Born to Run is my favourite by a margin, very catchy and still an immense track. Highlights: Backstreets, Born to Run

Dad is Uncle Silvio in the E street band? Generally not a big fan of the boss - his voice grates me a bit for some reason. Sometimes he sounds a bit retarded, which is fitting considering he is often singing about the plights of the famously self sabotaging American working class. This is a tight unit of a band and the instrumentation is fantastic. Actually enjoyed it in spite of myself.

I went to check my notes on what I had written for this album and all I had was a drawing of a little flame. So I guess I thought this was fire? 8/10

Both sides of this album open with great tracks, the tone is consistent throughout. That tone, you might ask? Articles about this album talk about how it reflects the 'down-beaten', 'downtrodden', 'ragged' and 'defeated' feeling of America and the working class at the time. It is amazing what a massive fuckin cry denizens of Empire will have when they lose a war to the Vietnamese and find out their politicians might not be angels. This is the album that made Springsteen a superstar. It is on here because the title track is magnificent, and the leadup/release of this album was subject to a media frenzy. This album was a moment in and of itself both for music and American culture. Context aside, the album is good. It is clear why Springsteen blew up after this, the songs mix being sappy and bombastic in a way that throws me off, but it works. Side A opens with Thunder Road and the tracks that follow it are good, albeit a little forgettable apart from Backstreets, this song is great. Side B opens with the title track and this is the main event, this song fucks. This album took forever to record and Springsteen agonised over the production and it really pays off on this song. It is lush and over-the-top but so well-constructed that you can't help but be in awe. The lyrics here are the peak of Springsteen's poetry, some of the other songs are a bit TOO on the nose and verbose. This album is musically great but one of my issues with 'Heartland Rock' is that it relies too much on the listener to share in this idyllic, overly-optimistic and naïve view of what America 'should' be. A collective mass hysteria of small town main streets, blue denim and a thorough whitewashing of the horror that is the American Empire. Shoutout to Clarence Clemons on saxophone and Roy Bittan on the keyboard, without them this album would be a sappy, drab series of decent poems. Their performance here elevates Springsteen's poetry and makes this album special. The state assembly of New Jersey wanted to vote to have Born to Run as the state song, this did not pass the senate however probably because someone bothered to read the lyrics before they realised that this song, much like pretty much everything else Springsteen wrote, is about escaping New Jersey. New Jersey is still the only state without an official state song. Highlights: Thunder, Road, Backstreets, Born to Run, Jungleland

LIstenable.

Pretty good American 70s fun times. Hilarious that it's 8 songs but 40 minutes long, Jungleland is like ¼ of the entire album and that's so silly to me.

Another classic I really love. Thunder Road is probably my favorite.

True confessions: For a long time, maybe my teenage years, even into my 20's I didn't like Bruce Springsteen. It was not because of the music. It was because I felt he was too pessimistic about life, especially American working class life. Yet as I got older I came to see what he meant more and more, to relate more and more and now... Now with the working class, immigrants, LGBTQ, anyone who "dares" not be a white, conservative, christian, straight, and RICH person living in USA is a huge target, all our worlds on fire and nobody is putting it out... Bruce Springsteen, contrary to my youthful ignorance, stands out as a pillar of truth, of what matters, how to push forward through the hate and rage and misery. Find someone to love, do the best you can. Care for your neighbors and your neighborhood... Damn if this is not more important and relevant today then when it came out!

Cringe as hell

despite it being appropriate for the fourth of july i still could not force myswlf to care

85% Best: Thunder Road; Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out; Born to Run; Jungleland Must-Hear? Sure

Favorites: Backstreets, Born to Run, Meeting Across the River

Really surprised this is solidly a 70's album, feels very 80's to me but maybe that's just when I heard all the songs. Born To Run is good but the live one is still better! Songs: Thunder Road, 10th Avenue Freeze-Out, Born to Run

So glad this was Springsteen's breakthrough. 10/10

Classic Bruce an album before he took over the world. Great rock and roll.

Pretty boring IMO

****** BRUCE!!!

Album was an era album. Not impressed with it musically.

classic rock

This was a really cool album that I had heard one of my friends talk about a lot. He told me that I should listen to it, so I’m glad I got that one generated!! It’s rock and roll at its finest. It also has some ballad-like qualities that I do really enjoy. I’ll have to listen to more of Bruce Springsteen!

Some of the album was good yet others OK.

It was fine Dad Rock.

two buce albums in a row is crazy. same thoughts as the other one really

This album could just be Born to Run, and 7 other tracks consisting of Bruce farting straight into the microphone, and it would still be a 5 because the title track is just that good. Luckily, there are plenty of other good songs here.

Rather good one.

no ta mal

Not my taste

Nice album with great energy, and the title track really stands out. However, most of the tracks seem to be written and produced before we figured out how to end a song properly. The fading out at the end of songs really isn’t my thing.

Incredible album, it's short length doesn't diminish it's legacy and sounds. Songs filled with heart and a sentiment of vulnerability makes this a must listen to everyone.

Never quite got the mass appeal of Bruce. I'd rather be listening to Melloncamp, who I think is similar but better.

Classic after classic after classic. Thunder Road, Backstreets, Born to Run and Jungleland are some of the best songs of the 70s. 5

Nice variation with instruments and songs Born to Run is a banger. Tenth Avenue Freezeout is also a banger. Fun throughout. I'd give 4.5

Piano arpeggios. Overwrought-yet-mumbled singing. Arpeggios. Sax and violence. Arpeggios. This album has it all. Too much, in fact.

Standout Songs: Thunder Road Born to Run Jungleland I understand the praise that this album gets, but I just think it is a little dry. No real difference in sound between songs, another album where everything kinda meshes together. I also find his voice isn’t really in rhythm with the music, and the lyrics are a tad wordy. It’s not a bad album but not Bruce’s best work by any means.

Bruce is always a fun listen. This album has 2 stunning tracks in "Born to Run" and "Jungleland", which I both love. The rest of the album is pretty good. It doesn't contain many huge hits, but still a great heartland rocker.

Das Album Born To Run wurde in mehreren New Yorker Studios aufgenommen, darunter die Record Plant und 914 Sound Studios. Bruce Springsteen stammt aus den USA und veröffentlichte dieses Werk als sein drittes Studioalbum. Musikalisch bewegt sich das Album im Bereich des Rock, mit Einflüssen aus Heartland Rock und Rhythm and Blues. Die Produktion ist dicht arrangiert, mit starkem Einsatz von E-Gitarre, Saxofon und orchestralen Elementen, die sich durch viele Stücke ziehen. Zu den stilprägenden Songs zählen „Thunder Road“, das das Album eröffnet, sowie der Titeltrack „Born To Run“, der später häufig mit Springsteens Namen verbunden wurde. Auch „Jungleland“ gilt als markanter Abschluss des Albums, nicht zuletzt wegen seiner ausgedehnten Struktur und instrumentalen Passagen. Die Texte kreisen um das Streben nach Ausbruch, Identität und Überleben im urbanen Raum, wobei eine gewisse erzählerische Perspektive durch alle Stücke hindurch spürbar bleibt. Die Arrangements sind durchweg durchdacht, ohne auf virtuose Effekte zu setzen. Das Album vermittelt einen einheitlichen musikalischen Eindruck, der auf sorgfältiger Produktion und durchkomponierten Songstrukturen beruht. Persönlich wirkt das Werk geschlossen und durchdacht, auch wenn einzelne Songs stärker hervorstechen als andere.

Simply one of the best rock albums of all time - has never gotten old for me - lyrically, musically, emotionally

There's a huge nostalgia factor with me for this album. It was the one album that all my siblings had and played regularly and it was the soundtrack for so many childhood vacation trips. My mother heard the words to "Tenth Avenue Freezeout" as "The Devil in the Freezer" so that was a recurring joke. This album has achieved mythic status for me. And, hearing it again, it hasn't lost any of its grandeur through all these years. Roy Bittan's piano is such an essential element of it, it really is the backbone of the album. There's also a real sadness that comes through that I didn't hear when I was growing up. And to think that now we have 7 unreleased albums from him to listen to. Was there ever a better run for a artist than from "Born to Run" through "Born in the USA?"

Probably my fourth or fifth favorite Springsteen album, and an easy five stars. Title track and 10th Avenue Freezeout are two of the best rock songs ever. Also feels like the most cohesive Bruce record as a full unit, the keys and Clarence Clemons sax shine throughout the whole thing

Okay I was NOT expecting it to be like.... bluesy??? I feel like I just imagine Bruce Springsteen in my head being like..... pop? But it's obviously not. This was 1975?! I can see why people are obsessed with him lol. He was definitely way before my time and I think I see him as kind of dated in general. But I've only heard his really famous and popular songs and definitely none from this album! So it's interesting to actually hear what made him popular. This was his third studio album!!! Third! Born in the USA was his 7th?! That's crazy I didn't know his discography was like that! I think he got really really famous for his more pop sounding music, like I've heard the title track from this album before. But I really just enjoy the more blues sounding songs from him! I think it suits his voice much better. So far Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out is my favorite. I think sometimes his voice sounds like he's yawning lol. He ends with an 8.5 min song? BRUCE. That's insane!!!! I liked it, wasn't anything that was mind-bending. I felt like I could honestly tune it out, like I was at a bar or something. It's still good though!! I liked it.

Theatrical and overblown. This sounds more like a rock opera than an album and could easily be a Jim Steinman composition.

Wish I had seen him at the Circus Maximus in Rome :'(

Springsteen just sucks ass, man. All of it. He's terrible.

NOW THIS IS AN ALBUM! I haven't really been excited for an album in some time. It's been like a week and a half or something, but that lack of excitement ended when I saw Born to Run pop up on this website. I mean, this is THE most acclaimed album from one of the most beloved musicians alive! Of course I was looking forward to this. Additionally, with this only being my second Springsteen album, I have yet to become burnt out on his music, so that's good. To be honest, I'm not sure I ever will. I liked The Rising well enough, but Born to Run is a masterpiece. Is anyone really surprised to hear me say that? Why would you be? There really isn't anything wrong with this album. Springsteen's singing and the album's vibes at large are extravagant yet down-to-earth. It's amazing. The songwriting? Excellent. The Boss is a storyteller through and through and it shows here. The album has no bad songs. From the endlessly enticing "Thunder Road" at the start to the outstanding title track near the middle to the final 10-minute tour de force that is "Jungleland," Born to Run serves as a showing of a true musical genius at the top of his game. And of course, I could never forget about the E Street Band! Those guys killed it on this album! I mean, you've got multiple saxophone solos that all work wonders in the album. That's just awesome! I can't say I'm surprised to love this album. Oh yeah, I forgot to add. Bruce Springsteen is just a great guy. It kind of feels like an obligation in some ways, but I also know deep down in my heart that this is the right call. What am I talking about? Well, it's the 5/5 that I'm giving this album of course! Fantastic stuff here.

Springsteen is one of those artists that is always hit or miss for me; thankfully this album is chock full of hits. Zero wasted space on a romping Americana album that really makes you feel like you were born to run at every turn. Great all-around listen. Top tracks: Thunder Road, Born to Run, Jungleland

(8/10) an easy listening experience

Listening to this album was very helpful in times of grief since it’s really appropriate for the time of my parents friends

ganz okay. Etwas langweilig und kaum ein Song der wirklich im ohr bleibt

Nunca consegui com ele, sempre esse aor sem alma e ultraprocessado

An old favorite that I always enjoy.

Better album but Bruce Springsteens style kind of annoys me

Springsteen nailed it on this one.

Buenisimo. Me puso de buen humor imaginando que estaba en un viaje de carretera en Estados Unidos.

Never been a big Bruce Springsteen fan. Not that the music is bad, just not my taste.

Incredibly groovy, wildly catchy and memorable. Found myself re-listening to most of the songs after I had given the record an initial once-over just because I wanted to hear it again! Springsteen's voice has such a great quality to it, and the instrumentals are just larger than life constantly. "Backstreets" -> "Born to Run" -> "She's the One" is such a FANTASTIC sequence of songs, I was wowed by it. "Thunder Road" is also a highlight, along with "Jungleland." Love this one!

Yes, this lives up to its stature as one of all time greats.

Despite its reputation, I'd never heard the album. I've never been a big Springsteen fan and found the album a bit hit and miss. There were some decent tracks but also some mediocre ones.

Arguably his best

Great

I felt very similar about this album as I did about “Darkness on the Edge of Town”. Which is that I appreciate the instrumentation and the composition of the music, I can even appreciate that there’s a couple songs on both albums that are MEGA hits, but I just don’t like Bruce’s voice. It does nothing for me and I find it annoying and grating. I really wanted to like this album but I just couldn’t. I’m sure this list will throw more of his music at me so… maybe next time.

Every single song on here was magnificent. Except maybe 'Meeting Across the River'. That one put me to sleep twice. Still a five though.

I can see why Horn to Run was the title track. It’s the best one. The rest aren’t bad but very similar. I couldn’t differentiate the rest except the first track “Thunder Road” which is pretty good

Absolutely loved this album. Filled with great songs, and doesn't overstay its welcome. Favorite song: Meeting Across the River - I loved the mix of storytelling and piano. His voice really sold the vibe of this song.

Bra skit. Jäkla saxofon alltså. Den rockar på helt enkelt!

Still goes hard 50 years later. The Boss's first masterpiece. An incredible ode to being young and wild in New Jersey. Title track has to be one of the best rock songs ever recorded. Standout tracks: Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, Born to Run, She's the One, Jungleland

Great American music by a person that hates America.

no esta mal es bruce haciendo musica sinmas 6/10
