Born In The U.S.A.

Jao jebeni sner idi u kurac odmah na prvu. Stalno serem po tome, ali jače je od mene. Ovaj zvuk snera u meni izaziva isti onaj osjećaj koji kod nekih ljudi dođe nakon što vide ili čuju kako netko grebe noktima po ploči. Život bi mi bio ljepši da to ne čujem i da tako ne reagiram, ali neke stvari u životu ne možeš birati Jedna od stvari koje mogu izabrati je da u potpunosti preskočim ovaj album, ali neću bit toliki lakse i natjerat ću se doći makar do pola albuma Evo me na četvrtoj pjesmi bez ičega lijepog za napisati osim da mi je nejasno kako je on ikad postao tako velik. Zbog pjesme I'm on fire ga treba zapalit, prljava pedofilčina bez glazbenog ukusa. Mogu ga zamisliti kako pjeva hrabrim američkim marincima prije nego ih pošalju u svijet da šire demokraciju i slobodu. #MAGA Mislim da sam dosta komentirao, čista jedinica bez imalo oklijevanja

if he’s the boss i quit

Not for me

Quite possibly the worst album ever.

I am not a big fan of that album, never have been. It is too mainstream Rock for me, I am not into his singing either. So...

The first suggested album in my list. Not interested really.

Wikipedia says “Springsteen is a pioneer of heartland rock… reflecting the issues of working class American life.” So I’m sure this album has a broad appeal to a wide demographic which probably stretches across both sides of the Atlantic but this album didn’t do anything for me. Wikipedia also says that Springsteen’s energetic concerts last four hours or do they maybe just feel like it because this album certainly felt longer than its runtime. The music is quite repetitive so I started looking at the lyrics on Spotify thinking that there might be some interesting, socially conscious lyrics hidden behind the macho drum sounds but alas. In one song he travels from New York and tries to impress a ‘little girl’ by telling her $200 is a lot of money. I could be really harsh and say this album is pure boomer fantasy fiction but I can see/hear why this would appeal to some. Perhaps the older and more conservative I get the more I will like this album.

It was 7am on 8th November 2016 and I was sitting contemplating breakfast at a small table in the corner of a vast deserted restaurant at a hotel in county Meath, Ireland when I heard Born In The U.S.A blaring from a tiny phone speaker. Across the way, the only other guest, a mountain of a man with slicked back hair who was too large for the furniture, was celebrating the announcement of Donald Trump's election victory and boasting to the bewildered waitress about the large bet he'd placed on the result. This album takes me right back to that misty morning and watery porridge.

This is in the running for biggest delta between its reputation and how much it sucked

No thanks.

Born in the back of a van. I tried to find something to like, but its just shite!

Sorry Boss but no matter how many albums this list throws at me (please, please, no more...) your music still sucks.

This was an album I really dreaded. As it turns out: Rightly so. Serious case of having to separate the art and the artist for me. By all accounts, Springsteen seems to be a good guy, and for those inclined to go and see him live, he absolutely delivers the goods. But my God, I cannot stand this. Born in the USA is so obnoxious in how it trots out the same keyboard riff for over 4 minutes. Followed by another song that stretches out precisely one idea for over 3 minutes. Next up: Basically the same idea and chord progression as Born in the USA, but arranged in a kind of country barnyard rock style. And it kind of... goes from there. Also, the lyrics are just so incredibly in-your-fucking-face, I can't bear it. Sure, not every piece of lyric needs to be a super-subtle poetic masterpiece. But all of this is like... the equivalent of a letter a 17 year-old who's never been away from home and who's never been one to read or write much would send home while being away on an excursion for a week.

Most overrated artist: Bruce springsteen

I have this album in stock. Why? I rarely play it.

I just don't like The Boss. I don't understand why so many hold this album and Springsteen in such high regard. I was bored with this whole album. It must appeal the common joe schmo patriot or something. I have an agency inspector that worships Bruce. During audits he talks about him the whole time and I cowardly endorse. I feel like I need a shower after but pass with flying colors. Own this album only because it was free...1.2

I ain’t gon listen to this shit, it’s gringo

GODDAMN THIS SHIT FUCKING SUCKS

ugh hate him

Another popular album not to my taste that I thought "It's got some good singles, let's give it a go", ut then ended up disliking it immediately and thoroughly. 'I'm on fire' is good, 'Dancing in the dark' is a no-holds-barred classic. The title track is not even getting a listen I'm so sick of it already. Now 'Born to Run' is a great song too, from earlier in Bruce's career, but it's a novelty song. You can only write one song that's quite so camp and cliched about being a blue collar working guy who's gunna make it sum day. Except all the other tracks on this album are just continuing that trope but without the tunes. This is bad. Extremely dull.

yeat owns you

Not a Bruce fan

To be honest I disliked it so much I could not get myself to sit through it. Nothing particularly bad I just dislike the sound of his voice.

Nope

wouldn't even like this if I was an American

He sucks

This album sounds exactly the same all through its run-time. There's nothing remarkable about it.

Not my thing

Every bit as bad as it when it was released. Overhyped crap by someone who can neither write music nor sing it.

I don’t like Bruce Springsteen 🤮

oh Bruce. I felt like listening to this would make me reconnect with my American roots but this was a special flavor I didn't vibe with; also every song sounded the same, with the exception of Dancing in the Dark, which was actually great. I am born in the USA but this album gave me the heebie jeebies

I've never been a Springsteen fan. Listening to it now, still not. Just no.

Thanks.

actively dislike. Not much twang but still most of the things I dislike about country

An America hating motherfucker. Whiny bitch. Fuck him!

Boring, everything sounds the same

This is better than "Born to Run" and "Darkness on the Edge of Town," but that isn't saying much because that is such a low bar to meet and surpass. I think this album probably benefits from the songs that everyone knows, and "I'm on Fire" is such a bona fide classic, although so many others have covered that song and have much better versions this than clown. Can't believe he has so many albums on this list.

I listened to the album, but I can really remember anything about it >.< Probably means its unmemorable

not a fan

I've written before about how I just don't get the cult surrounding Springsteen when I reviewed Born to Run, which is still true. I also said in my Born to run review that it wasn't because I thought the music was bad but because I just didn't get it. That's second bits is what I have to revise here, because I find almost no value in this album. Its 45 minutes of awful 80's plinky plonky synths, lead guitar lines that are totally devoid of any kind of personality and vocals just sounds like he's phoning it in. The lyrics are at best cliché and at wors downright creepy, I'm on Fire properly gave me the ick. So I don't get the hype and I really disliked the music so unlike Born to Run this falls into 'Dislike' territory

Artificially flavored laboratory developed music specially designed to say all the words corny Americans live to hear. It must be good. He said Hometown and USA and work and young girl and by-god he's just like us.

Залупа какая-то юса пропаганда

Pas fan

This is the first album I listened to as on a c.d.! My friend and I used to listen to it over and over!
