My friend tells me this is a masterpiece. Maybe it is, I don't know. To me it's fine I guess. It sounds like it would be fun to walk into a bar and hear this band play. I think I've only ever listened to Born in the USA. There are a few very popular bands I've never heard a whole album by (or did only recently) because so many of their songs I heard so oftem on the radio growing up. This is clearly one of those. I like the title track. I like She's the One. All in all I'd say i like the 2nd half more than the first half.
