Darkness on the Edge of Town

snoozefest :(

{{{{{{{{{{ Can't believe I'm about to willingly listening to an entire Springsteen album. Oh god here we go. Only a few seconds and .... Ok let's actually try this. Oh no. Hold. Hold. This is so fake-up-beat it makes me UGGGGGGGGhhh this stupid mumbly voice. Skip. I made it 45 seconds. How can you make piano annoying? Is this a sheep trying to sing? Skip. I made it 30 seconds. Now you're not singing at all? You're talking? How is that almost worse? What is this inflection singing? This is.. feels like knives. Holy fuck even the drumming is sloppy. Is this a ballad? Christ. Skip. I made it 1.5 minutes. Is that a record? This is torture. 20 seconds into racing in the street. Skip. Harmonica? Skip. Skip. Skip. Is everything in the key of C with the worse drumming and the worst vocals and worse lyrics and fucking church organ? Is this album a total joke? It's like I'm stuck in a casino listening to those god damned slot machines and they're all groaning together on the carpeted floor in a sloppy rhythm, all trying to sound happy and someone decided to drunkenly mumble over this total trash. SKIP. This could be used to get secrets from ear prisoners. SKIP. Can I not rate zero stars? My ears hurt.

Not it.

Most of my knowledge of Springsteen comes from comedy sketches and parodies - and this album felt like that. Dark, rambling, nothing to groove to. Of my limited exposure to Springsteen, the only song I like is “Dancing in the dark”

Not for me thanks.

Boring

Boring, annoying, cliche (maybe not when it was made? idc don't have to hear this again)

Oh no I hate this too (sorry Chris)

I hate it

There was one song that I enjoyed. Otherwise Tom Waits does the sad working class schtick better and all I could think about was listening to him.

Bruce is Bruce, you live him or you don’t… I don’t

Hated it. I think there was one song where instrumentation was okay, but it was ruined by Bruce’s voice. It’s not bad, just boring and not for me.

Snoooooooore. I will never get the appeal of Springsteen. Jerking off about heartland America. Boring and lame.

This put me in mind of a slightly less pompous Meat Loaf. I have tried to like Brooce, but it's not for me. This is a lot of what punk was against at the time, as far as I am concerned. Over-blown rock ballads with too much piano.

Oh man, I have never cared about The Boss and have found him somewhat insufferable but that might be more from his fans being pretty insufferable. However, I have never given him a fair shake, and wanted to keep an open mind and see what all the fuss is about. And this album sucks, it's unbearable and laughably bad. Very rough getting through the whole thing.

Niet mijn smaak

I fucking hate Bruce Springsteen

Dreadfull

Life is too short to have to listen to Springsteen. This, like everything else of his oeuvre I've heard (with the notable exception of 'Nebraska'), is either bombastic drivel or piano-driven mawkish balladry. Just stop it, Bruce.

The movie Blinded by the light made me have an irrational dislike towards him. Hearing this made me just have a founded aversion to his music.

Nope

me da pereza escuchar a este señor

Yeah not my cup of tea

Not a fan of BS

I've always found him interesting to listen to whilst being interviewed. I like his politics and his ideas but this album was like finding someone at a party who's into the same things as you but is really dull. As the shared beliefs fail to sustain interest you look for ways to escape but it's too late. All around people are having fun but not you, you and your stupid politics and your stuck till the whole thing plays out. Being 42 minutes thankfully that's not too long and as that person heads of (them not being a night owl) you neck your pint and hope there's a bit of party left.
