Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

Born in the U.S.A. is an album painted in big, broad strokes. But it was still too subtle for some--namely politicians who tried to tap the title track as a jingoistic anthem when it is in fact a bitter diatribe by a Vietnam War vet whose country forgot him. The rest of the album is a glorious grab bag of radio-ready populist anthems--his best display of pure pop songwriting ever--including "No Surrender," "Dancing in the Dark," "Bobby Jean," and "Glory Days" alongside more circumspect numbers such as "My Hometown" and "I'm On Fire." It's not true that there's no arguing with success, but in this case Springsteen's widespread acclaim was warranted. With Born in the U.S.A., all those predictions from a decade earlier--that Springsteen was the future of rock--had come true. --Daniel Durchholz

5.0 out of 5 stars rebel with a cause.................?, Dec 7 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Born In The U.S.A. (Audio CD)
probably my second fave bruce album, equally with "tunnel of love"
fave tracks "cover me" - "whole world is out there, just tryin' to score, i seen enough, don't wanna see anymore......." - says it all.
i've always been a springsteen fan, aside from a teenage crush on him, which lasted a good few years beyond that!
i love his songs for their gritty & honest lyrics, being unafraid to tackle real gutsy subjects, with a fierce gusto and passion.
back to the songs....
the title track, i love less, for it's political statements, which i don't necessarily agree with.....
"dancing in the dark" of course, bruce getting into dance, with funky keyboards, this song somehow has some similarity with stevie nicks foray into this area, with "stand back" (they somehow have a similar sound-?)
"downbownd train" typical bruce, singing about the loser......
"i'm going down" is a real good big boss rock track.
"i'm on fire" again, a real passionate track, romantic & gutsy, classic springsteen.
love 'im!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bruce Springsteen's best album., Aug 19 2006
This review is from: Born In The U.S.A. (Audio CD)
Dancing in the dark is my favorite song from this album and it is one of the best songs from the 80s. I'm On fire, My Hometown are two great songs. This is a must-have for every Springsteen fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best purchase I have made in a long time, Jun 24 2004
By 
This review is from: Born In The U.S.A. (Audio CD)
Thank you, Bruce, for leaving your song "I'm on Fire" off your Greatest Hits collection! If you hadn't done that, I would probably never have bought one of the best albums I've heard in a long, long time...even if I did make that discovery about twenty years after the rest of the world.

This CD is great from start to finish, and as soon as you listen to it all the way through once, you realize why it's an American classic. There is not a bad song on here--surprisingly, the weakest songs are the singles "Dancing in the Dark" and "Glory Days." Songs that were never released as singles are the ones that sound the most original, the least commercial, and are the ones that rock the hardest. What amazes me about this CD is its ability to make me feel like I'm actually in Jersey in the mid-eighties--a fantastic trick, since during the mid-eighties I was about five years old and living in Ohio.

The album opens with the title song, which everyone knows, and promptly goes into a few that I had never heard before and immediately fell in love with. Although "I'm on Fire" is the reason I bought the album, now I can honestly say that I could not pick an absolute favorite song. The CD is just that good. Bruce's snarling vocals are great--I think that he more than anyone else owes much of his singing style to Elvis, although he most definitely made his own adjustments and tweaked it to be pure Springsteen.

I am only sorry that I can't give this album more than five stars, because that seems inadequate. This is a great one to start a Springsteen collection with.
