Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: With its roller-rink keyboards, trash-can drums and generally festive air, this is Springsteen at his most joyous and radio-friendly. Spinning off seven hit singles ("Dancing in the Dark", "Cover Me" and "I'm on Fire" among them), USA is deceptively accessible. Underneath, the tales are often dark and the characters grim--the shafted Vietnam vet of the title track, the prison-gang of "Working on the Highway", the ageing folks of "Glory Days"--but the E Street Band party like it's 1984. Only the album's forlorn closer, "My Hometown" has the tension and regret of Springsteen's later work. For this moment, at least, Bruce ruled the world and USA sounds like it. --Rob O'Connor Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Born to rockLike Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours', 'Born In The USA' became the artist's biggest album because it appealed to a much wider audience than earlier material did. It was commercial. So what? There's nothing wrong with appealing to more people by making your music more accessible. Bruce Springsteen's previous album 'Nebraska' may possess greater snob value because, wow, it's dark and stripped down, but there is no disguising that much of it is also dull. As Tommy James commented when criticised for creating 'Mony Mony' at the height of the revolutionary, anti-war sentiments of 1968, why can't you make people want to dance? The most obvious slice of glossy pop is, of course, 'Dancing In The Dark' and it soon palls, but nothing else is as ...

Springsteen's BITUSA divides Brucefans simply because there are those who saw it as a sell-out, while others just saw it as a natural progression from what he'd produced before. I fall into the latter camp - his earlier classics like 'Sandy', Born to Run, 'Jungleland' and Badlands' had helped to raise Springsteen's stock, but BITUSA was so full of melodic hooks that it simply couldn't fail. Many heard the noise but hadn't listened to the words - Ronald Reagan for one - but beyond the familiar tunes were words as hard-bitten and melodramatic as anything he's produced before or since. The title track itself is ... Read More: Rating: - Rock & RollI was 13 years old when i first heard this album and of Bruce Sprigsteen. It made me an instant fan. The same day i bought the other "born" album - Born to Run. In less than a week i had the entire Bruce Springsteen collection in my hand. Altough great this album may be, for me it has that "discovering" quality that has made it one of my favorite albums of all time. If you want to start hearing Bruce Springsteen, star with this one. You won't be dispointed. Rating: - Springsteen's Best AlbumThis is definately Bruce Springsteen's best album. Featuring a great variation of songs. Also, this CD does what Springsteen is best at, and thats ROCK! 1. Born In The U.S.A - 10/10, One of His Best songs ever, classic rock song. 2. Cover Me - 7/10, A little irritating at first listening, but it definately grows on you. 3. Darlington County - 8/10, Another great song to keep the album going. 4. Working On The Highway - 9/10, A great riff, and chorus. 5. Downbound Train - 8/10, Great song. 6. I'm On Fire - 9/10, Slower paced song, but a great song to listen to. 7. No Surrender - 9/10, Very addictive Chorus! 8. Bobby Jean - 8/10, Another great Rock track/ 9. I'm Goin' Down - 10/10, A Vintage Springsteen ... Read More: Rating: - The boss's stadium rock masterpieceThe most successful album in Bruce Springsteen's illustrious career,Born in the USA is also one of his very best.Full of hit singles(pretty much every second track)there is not a dull moment on this relatively short (46 mins) cd.Each song is accessible,but also heartfelt in a deep and thoughtful manner.My personal favorites would be 'Cover me'-very upbeat,'Dancing in the dark'-one of the best 80s songs to use a synthesiser,and of course the shortest track on the album,the emotional 'i'm on fire',Happy or sad,this is an album I constantly listen to-a true calling card of utterly brilliant music. |
