This is the best Bruce record and it isn’t close. Best guitar solo. Best drums. Racing in the Street. The worst song on here is fucking Badlands and that is saying something because it’s still better than anything on Born in the USA.

The single most stacked southern rock record. If they never made another record they are still hall of famers.

The most important metal album of them all. Metal doesn't exist without this. Grunge sounds very different without this. Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and Bill marched into a studio and changed everything about rock and roll music, and I'm not just saying that because Ozzy died the day before I wrote this.

This and The Strokes gave us hope in the darkest days of Britney and N*Sync. Fell In Love With A Girl on MTVu in the college cafeteria brings back the memories.
