4/5

12 tracks - 5 radio hits Born in the USA; I'm on Fire; Glory Days; Dancing in the Dark (solid 80's pop); My Hometown "Bobby Jean" - new favorite The Boss just bringing the working class hero passion through the album; strong, driving lyrics - just a great album

4/5

Listened to the 1999 Remastered album. DUDE - what an album. This was released after "Brown Eyed Girl" put him on the map. Cool jazz and blues vibes throughout. Need to pick up a physical copy of this album. Favorite Tracks: Astral Weeks (such a great song - so cool with the beat, the occasional flutes, and Van Morrison just getting after it) Sweet Thing The Way Young Lovers Do - cool jam
