Product Description
From Amazon.com
If Springsteen's debut, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. revealed just how ambitious a talent he was, it also fell just short of realizing those ambitions. No such problem with this, his second album. The Dylanesque wordplay is there, but with more narrative detail, as on "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)," "Kitty's Back," and "Rosalita," each of which became instant Springsteen classics and were demanded by his concert crowds for years. But even on this record, the music isn't allowed to take a back seat to the words--the latter two, at least, are full-tilt rock & roll numbers, with abrupt tempo shifts, soaring instrumental parts, and production that's just chaotic enough to make you wonder if the whole thing is going to blow apart and then smile in appreciation when it doesn't. The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle was the first time Springsteen scaled the heights of rock & roll greatness--but it wouldn't be the last. --Daniel Durchholz

eclectic musical circus,
This review is from: The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle (Audio CD)
Without a doubt, hands down, the best Springsteen CD EVER.An eclectic mix of musical styles and the musicianship and production is utterly incredible. You have to be willing to switch gears on this one. The tracks run an incredible range and if you're stuck on Springsteen as a rocker only, you'll miss a lot of what's being dished out to you. It's the last album with Vincent Lopez and the band suffered from his loss, although rumor has it that it was necessary. I've been listening to this album for over 30 years and I am still utterly amazed at how good it really is. Jazz, Latino, Classical, Blues, Rock and Folk all exist side by side and overlap in very brainy musical kaleidoscope. Punchy rock to very quiet, sparse musical poetry and all points in between. Certainly not appealing to those who like a steady groove for a whole album.
