Editorial Review: 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - BORN AGAIN ! (like Born To Run a decade before it, Born In The U.S.A. is a Bruce Springsteen masterpiece)Is Born in the U.S.A. too commercial? A sellout? No way! If you remember the 1980s like I do, the songs from Born in the U.S.A. (1984) were like lifelines to authentic rock n' roll on the radio for us die hard 1960-70s rockers. Sure, the album had an updated sound that now sort of makes it a product of it's times, but that's one of the things that makes this album so special. Born in the U.S.A. plays a big part in defining the life and times of the 1980s in many people's memories. And clearly, Bruce Springsteen is still The Boss here. The album is Springsteen's most commercially successful by a long shot, and it's also one of the most successful albums in history (it had seven top ten singles, which tied the all-time record for ... Read More: Rating:  - What made him a legendThe "Born" CDs were what made the Boss' legend. Those were the ones you'd hear on the radio no end back in the day. I admit, I prefer "Born to Run" over "Born in the USA". This is a great early day Bruce CD and I think still a must for any Boss fan. My favorites: Born in the USA Dancing in the Dark Glory Days Rebecca Kyle, August 2008 Rating:  - Not one of my favs.I am working my way through Springsteen's catalogue and reviewing as I go. After listening to The River and Nebraska I searched for Born in the USA in my cd collection. It wasn't there! Perhaps this is a clue? Anyway I dug out the vinyl and am listening to it as I type. As I review the music and not the sound quality the source is irrelevant. First, an admission - when this was released in the summer of 1984 I had been a fan for over ten years already AND I hadn't been thrilled with the commercial quality of some of the songs on 1980's The River. The album's title worried me a little (I know, I know already - it isn't a patriotic rant. However, until you listened to the lyrics you didn't know this). Therefore, for several reasons, ... Read More: Rating: - I was fourteen and I didn't know who Springsteen wasBorn In the Usa was my introduction to Bruce Springsteen. I wasn't old enough to see the tour, but I talked about him so much, adult friends who DID go brought me souveniers:) I played the weekly top forty every Saturday to hear him during chores, and when I finally got the cassette, I played THAT non stop. It was such a fabulous experience, when my adult friends told me that Springsteen had a long history of great music, I was hard pressed to believe them? BETTER than Born in the USA? I still love this album, although my favourite remains his Live 75 thru 85 set, I got that for Christmas the year it came out and it just cemented my love affair with Bruce Springsteen's music. Born In the USA will always be bright with the amazement of discovering ... Read More: Rating: - musicGREAT CD had the album but had to have the CD due to the album being scracted. WHO doesn't like the BOSS!!! |
