Album Notes
Personnel: Bruce Springsteen (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Steve Van Zandt (guitar); Clarence Clemons (saxophone); Roy Bittan (piano); Danny Federici (organ); Garry Tallent (bass); Max Weinberg (drums).
Recorded at The Record Plant, New York, New York.
This was the album after the famous Jon Landau statement came to pass, and although there are still many references to cars and girls it is a blistering album. It has a similar energy that was later to be found on The River. He states in 'Something In The Night', 'soon as you've got something they send someone to try and take it away'. He repeated the themes again and again, and we loved it; maybe his fall from grace is because we ultimately can get by with just one song about cars and girls.
Editorial Reviews
5 stars out of 5 - ...The album isn't punk--Springsteen got a shave, not a mohawk--but it's colored by the raw sound happening at the time....stands as the E Street's best...
Rolling Stone (03/20/2003)
Ranked #151 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time - Springsteen and the E Street Band played rockers such as 'Badlands' and 'Promised Land' with barely contained passion.
