I don't know

Probably. I'm not a big Springsteen fan but even I'll admit it took balls to release this right after The River. It would've destroyed the career of a lesser songwriter.

ive never heard it, or any springsteen for that matter. what am i in for? my friend really likes this album and the cover art has always really intrigued me

Its different than his typical stuff. Its a collection of stripped down folk/country rock songs he recorded in his bedroom, with themes mostly dealing with Middle American poverty, crime and deindustrialization.

sounds like a good time, thank you for elaborating. ill be sure to check it out user

This is the only springsteen album ive listened to. Anything else as good and depressing as this of his?

i always thought the cover was a bridge above a pond

Summer of 69 is his only good song.

darkness on the edge of town is his closest, but its still more hopeful. but you gotta listen to born to run, you're seeing its influence even today all the time in albums, just look at black country new road
