Track 1 (Thunder Road): I like the piano and harmonica in the intro. There is a great drum fill at roughly 3:50. Overall a good opening track. 7/10 Track 2 (Tenth Avenue Freeze-out): The horns are a nice addition. A bit repetitive but in a good way. Definitely more jazzy then Thunder Road. 8/10 Track 3 (Night): I love the intro the guitar and drums work well. I like the lyrics. Shortest song on the album and so far a pretty good one. The ending fade-out is great. 8/10 Track 4 (Backstreets): The intro is a great instrumental piece. I really like the yelling vocals during the chorus. Definitely feels more of an anthem than the other songs on the album so far. The great guitar solo adds to the song further and it has a great tone to it. The lyrics are probably the best part of the song and the piano adds even more to it. 9/10 Track 5 (Born To Run): The drums on this album are really good and it goes into this song with a great drum intro. Even more anthemic than Backstreets. I find it interesting that there isn't a true chorus to the song but there is a hook that basically repeats at the end of each verse. The vocals getting more intense as the song goes is an interesting choice. The lyrics are amazing and very inspired and unique. 8/10 Track 6 (She's the One): I like the bass and the piano riff stands out. The electric guitar kicking in is a surprise but it really fits and it adds to the tension of the song. The backing vocal adds a depth to the song. I like the guitar and drums at the end of the song. 8/10 Track 7 (Meeting Across the River): It opens with a haunting trumpet that is great. The vocals in the beginning sound truly sad. The piano adds an extra degree of emotion on top of the vocals and lyrics. I realize it is about an upcoming drug deal and the song sounds kind of hopeless. Probably my favorite song so far. 9/10 Track 8 (Jungleland): I like the instrumental in the beginning and it transitions into a really good piano riff. When the guitar kicks in it definitely adds to the song. I believe the lyrics about the city referred to as Jungleland are a look upon crime in major cities and how the poor are treated. The long instrumental section is a nice touch, I like how it starts to wind down and goes into a lone piano until the vocals rejoin but in a much more tender way. The vocals start to yell and the other instruments then the vocals start going into a more conversational tone. 9/10 Whole album ranking: 8.5/10
