There's not a lot of fun happening here. The album title explains it all. Bruce is best when he's being Bruce - pumping the air and living the American Dream. He's down on his luck on Darkness. Badlands and Promised Land stand out. But elsewhere and it's tough going.

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.
