Run, a virtual concept album about small-town New Jerseyites in search of a better life via hot-rodding out on the turnpike, scoring some small-time hustle or blowing out of town altogether, either across the river to New York City or west for parts unknown. Songs such as "Jungleland", "Thunder Road", "Backstreets" and the title track are epic productions, both sonically and lyrically, borrowing from Phil Spector, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley and West Side Story. When Born to Run was released in 1975, it earned the then-unknown Springsteen the rare honour of simultaneous covers on both Time and Newsweek in the US. The attention was warranted then, and it still is now. --Daniel Durchholz, Amazon.com

Advantages: Classic Rock and Roll Disadvantages: Too short
So, after 30 odd years, how does the Boss' rock and roll defining album stand up?
Fantastically well, if the truth be told. Springsteen transformed himself from a Boho Dylan-esque songwriter into a full on rock god with the minimum of fuss. Album opener 'Thunder Road' is still the best thing he ever penned, a anthem for every dreamer that still dreams of just getting away from everything that holds them down, "It's a town full of losers, we're pulling out of here to win".
The surprisingly funky 'Tenth Avenue Freeze Out' follows, before launching into the manic 'Night'. The title track still bears a passable and somewhat unfortunate resemblance to Meatloaf, but still has a great power and message - And acts as a accompaniment to Thunder Road.
This was the high point of Springsteen's early career, until The River came along ...
I suppose BruceSpringsteen is the Marmite of the music world - you either love him or you hate him - or, like many youngsters who encountered him at Glastonbury this year, you have never heard of him (shame on you).
For me, any music that evokes memories of my mid-80s school discos, is automatically beyond any criticism, and the title track from this album is no exception. Of course, one track doesn't make an album, but it can very often be the sole reason for purchasing it.
I have often thought that Springsteen's lyrics were a little suspect, but very often these take second place to the power and emotion of the music and the mood he creates - and this album is Bruce at his raw, belting best.
BORN IN THE USA - The massively powerful title track that seems to have become a patriotic anthem despite its anti ...
Advantages: The music, the lyrics, The Boss himself... the list goes on Disadvantages: None. (Honest)
When this album starts, and the first strains of 'Thunder Road' begin, you, the listener are hooked. Springsteen sings with a heartfelt passion and believability that continues to awe his fans. Combine that with lyrics that could have come from an anthology of poetry, and the vibrant music of the E-street band, and you have BorntoRun. The image Springsteen paints is of a city so tangible, you can see it when you close your eyes. Taken through the high-points of this city (BorntoRun) to the low points (Meeting across the River), this album culminates in the epic 'Jungleland' which would not look out of place on a Broadway musical. This album transcends genre, and time, and is an essential part of any collection. This is an album for music lovers, and reminds you why you starting listening to music in the first place. ...
