According to political writer Peter Dreier, the music's "pop-oriented" sound and the marketing of Springsteen as "a heavily muscled rocker with an album cover featuring a giant US flag, may have overshadowed the album's radical politics."

John Martyn
4/5
So many bad reviews for this album, then check the trip-hop albums and folks tripping over themselves to praise. I'm not a trip-hop fan but this is the OG trip-hop and the things the did to achieve the sounds they did with 1977 tech that a 7th grader can now do with a 10$ program...well it set the stage. Goodness.

Read a lot of reviews about listening to jazz by the guys that invented the genre. Interestingly, I remember seeing a doc that talked about Brubeck creating music over a kid over the rhythm of water pumps on his parent's ranch as a kid. This was when he hadn't been exposed to jazz. Kid just had talent and went on to create some of the best music ever created.
