Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Always thought I disliked this album, but it is fun to listen to it. Especially side B of the LP. Favorite: Glory days

This is his most overrated album. It's hard to believe it was such a big hit. I like Darkness On the Edge of Town much better. The hits, such as Dancing in the Dark, Glory Days, and My Hometown, just weren't that good. I think the title track stinks. I do like I'm on fire, Cover Me, Down Bound Train.

Wasn't a fan of this album when it came out..One of my least fav springsteen albums. although I did like "working on fhe highway" and "i'm going down"
Favorite Tracks:Born In The USA, Downbound Train, Bobby Jean

People who hate this album are boring (or not from America).
PS: The "dated" 80s production makes it better
My first Springsteen album, so of course I'm gonna love it. Sure, it suffers from overexposure, but it's still a great album nonetheless.

The term 'dad rock' refers to older music listened to by men who try, without success, to introduce this music to their children and other younger people.
Music can only be counted as 'dad rock' if it is music that has failed to remain popular with younger generations, e.g. Dire Straits, The Yardbirds, Bruce Springsteen etc., whereas bands of the same era such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Queen would not count as their music transcends the generation gap and is still popular with younger people
This is the hardest Springsteen album to review. It is beloved and was insanely popular, but ironically, its popularity shows what's wrong with it. The drums, saxophone, and guitar are drowned in dated '80s production. His trademark lyrics are mostly there, but his voice, especially on the title track, drapes everything in an overdone heartland affectation; what sounded natural on Nebraska and Darkness on the Edge of Town is mostly gone. This album did give us "I'm on Fire" and "Dancing in the Dark" so it's not all bad. "I'm on Fire" may be his best song.
