Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Few albums are as fueled by hope, possibility, and the lure of the open road as Born to Run, a virtual concept album about small-town 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 like "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 then-unknown Springsteen the rare honor of simultaneous covers on both Time and Newsweek. The attention was warranted then, and it still is now. --Daniel Durchholz Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Bruce Rocks, almost as hard as the StonesBruce is really quite inovative, if you look at him in the history of music. Who sound like Bruce, and came before Bruce? Not much, maybe a few Phil Spector creations, but thats it. And, quite simply, he rocks harder then most. I'd say only the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix can rock harder. Every song here is an all time classic, each a mini story told with the perfect accompiament. Every instrument in the entire CD sounds fantastic, streched to its highest potental. One of the best, a top ten for me. Rating: - I need an asterisk - this is five stars plus!Rarely do heavily hyped artistic endeavors come even remotely close to living up to the expectations. Born to Run is as notable an exception as you'll ever encounter. After an ordinary debut and an extraordinary but under-appreciated sophomore effort Springsteen released Born at the end of the 1975 summer. While The Wild, the Innocent... sounded as if it had been hastily put together Columbia, Bruce and the E Street Band pulled out all of the stops on the new recording. The result is a sonic blast never before heard. It is over the top in the manner of Phil Spector and it works. Lyrically Born continues Springsteen's string of personal Jersey stories of love, regret, violence, street life and heartache. Musically he leaves behind ... Read More: Rating: - For tramps like us - Springsteen's greatestA dreaming harmonica and a rainy-day piano begins "Thunder Road." The harmonica fades away and the piano picks up. "The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves," Bruce Springsteen sings. "Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays: Roy Orbison singing for the lonely. Hey, that's me and I want you only. Don't turn me home again - I just can't face myself alone again ..."The drums come in, the guitar twangs, the bass rolls, and we take off on one of the sweetest rides rock and roll has to offer: "Born to Run." About mid-way through that song, Springsteen informs us, "I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk." Well, he's not kidding. But the instruments on this album do more than talk: they come to life, ... Read More: Rating: - Not a bad song in the bunch"Born to Run" was the hallmark of my generation. I first had the vinyl and believe me that record served its time on my poor turntable that needed 41 cents to prevent the tonearm from skating. As soon as I could afford a cassette deck, I bought the tape. "Born to Run" was the first CD I bought when I moved to a CD player in the early 80's. My CD disappeared in my recent move and when I found out, I had to buy this CD again. If I could find the 24Kt version, I'd get that one instead. This is one of those CDs that I'd call 'essential'. Definitely one of the 100 I'd take to the desert island with me. Every song is a classic. I recently had the pleasure of seeing The Boss with the E Street Band in Atlanta, GA and most of the material ... Read More: Rating: - Music HistoryThis is simply one of the best 30 years after its release. I rarely like or listen to every song on an album/CD but this one I can play over and over again. The writing (words and music) the arrangements and the sound are simply not matched. A mix of words and music and sound not to be equalled. As another review stated this is a landmark in music and put the Springsteen name in lights forever. |
