bluefox4000 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have said and i stand by enjoying Springsteen's first 4.......then it all blends together. he's made practically the same album since his debut. lol......i'm serious i've heard a good chunk more......and i hear no difference.

Variations on a theme......maybe? Kinda? i dunno. He kinda does blow. :outtahere: Mick Nebraska?The Seeger Sessions?Magic? The River has some fantastic moments. Tunnel Of Love is moving. Human Touch and Lucky Town have a lot of great songs (and plenty of filler). The Ghost Of Tom Joad is an underrated classic. The Rising is incredibly moving and beautifully produced, a River for the 21st century. Wrecking Ball is a combination of classic Springsteen and his folkier leanings that he has embraced a lot in recent years. We can forget about High Hopes, Working On A Dream and Devils And Dust, but my goodness...the b-sides, the unreleased bootleg lost classics, the outstanding live performances...he has never been in a creative rut. He has been consistently amazing for DECADES! After his fourth album, he released three albums that on their own terms have little in common with his earlier work. I love him! Agreed, nothing truly comes close to his first four albums BUT he has never truly lost his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Nebraska is the one album that unites fans of Springsteen and those who hate his arena rock stylings. It's the musical equivalent of a great American novel. Fitting, since a few tracks are inspired by In Cold Blood by Capote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Springsteen is one of the greatest artists of any form or medium in history. Haters can go take a trip to the pooper and flush themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit my Springsteen taste leans more towards his more bombastic side, but Nebraska is a stunning example of a master storyteller at the peak of his powers.
