Bruce Springsteen's music is catchy as fuck, I just love it. Of course, I have little representation of him over my charts because originally I used to dislike him, but he's sincerely grown to be one of my more preferred artists.

Wow, I think I need to relisten to this, considering the overwhelming positive response it's getting. I've only heard it once, and I wasn't crazy about it, but admittedly I did so with a shitty pair of headphones while I was somewhat distracted with something else, so it probably deserves a more focused listen.


You have to give it another shot. I'm not a huge Springsteen fan, but this one's worth your time.

Springsteen's lyrical masterpiece, although it does fall just short of 'Born to Run' for me.

A brilliant album regardless of that, 10/10.

An absolute classic, definitely my 2nd favorite Springsteen album. This is one of the harder albums to take off my chart when I implemented the 1 album/artist limit.

"Candy's Room" is definitely my favorite track here... the constant drum roll is electrifying. "Racing in the Street" is a close second. The two most underrated Springsteen tracks, I think.

As good a Bruce Springsteen album as any, but surely his third best effort. Definitely has a more raw feel to it than his other records.

Yes. so good to see nothing but love for this album. It's my personal favorite by Springsteen as well. I've also always considered it interesting that he wrote "Because The Night" during this time but gave the song to Patti Smith. So not only did these sessions deliver Darkness on The Edge of Town but also one of Smith's strongest singles.

A terrible album to lose, but at least they had good taste, right?
