Yeah, top 5 for me where it sits probably depends on when you ask me.This is top tier Bruce and it's like my fourth or fifth favorite album by him.

try every 5 y
From my dive into his catalog, my impression so far is that he's fine. I like the music more than I thought I would, I don't seem him breaking into my list of favorite artists or anything. I would be curious to see him live though.I know there is a lot of love for Bruce but he has never clicked with me. I try every 5 years or so but nothing. I am perfectly fine with that.
Same. I like Nebraska quite a bit, and a buddy got me the first two records earlier this year to try to help me along, but he hasn't resonated for me yet.I know there is a lot of love for Bruce but he has never clicked with me. I try every 5 years or so but nothing. I am perfectly fine with that.
I have the book in my long reading queue. One day. My wife hates Springsteen. The only record she has ever bought me was the companion compilation.As an aside, I've just finished audio version of his autobiography, and I have to say it was fantastic. The best bit by far is the pre-fame stuff; he actually says surprisingly little about each of his songs - he spends more on Streets of Philadelphia than all his best albums (almost put together). He comes across well. I liked listening to him narrate it too. On Darkness, it's a great album. It's also remarkable just how many songs he tried out and rejected. The Promise is one of my favourite albums by him, and it's just an odds and sods collection really.
Drive around solo though the countryside on a warm summer night with the windows rolled down and “Spirit In The Night” blasting and that might punch that ticket. Bruce has the ability to make you feel nostalgic for things you never experienced.Same.

I don’t know, his diehard fans are very fond of that last soul covers record he did.I've heard Bruce's version of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" so many times that it's totally embedded in my brain as a holiday classic at this point. But he is for sure singing pretty flat in that, right? It's wild to imagine a live track like that becoming so ubiquitous in today's environment without perfect (or autotuned) pitch. If that was released for the first time today he'd be torn to shreds.
lol. I guess I get that. Seemed rather ubiquitous or at least the first single did.Well the ubiquity is an important factor here. To risk being torn to shreds, something has to be heard by more than your diehards in the first place.
Five songs in and I fucking love this.
Q magazineeven a cursory glance at the titles will confirm that this is not the new Gloria Estefan album
