Born To Run

Fuck Bruce Springsteen and crotch sliding talentless songwriting. Fucking hack couldn't even get a number one without GOAT Manfredd Mann coming in and carrying his ass.

Running away from this nonsense

Oh no i shit on my shoe, better run.

Thanks, but no thanks, not for me.

If there was ever any question, Bruce Springsteen proves that apparently being able to sing is not a requirement for releasing an album. The musicality of some of his tracks is interrupted by his lackadaisical and groaning vocals, and the only respite at times is a cheesy sax solo.

nah sorry

Unremarkable

I don’t care about this. I don’t like this at all

I've always been stunned that anyone could listen to this paragon of boring, run-of-the-mill rock. Everything is by rote, and nothing that hadn't been done a million times before is attempted.

1. thunder - 1 2. freeze - 1 3. night - 0 4. ztreetz - 1 5. run - 1.5 6. one - 1 7. river - 1 8. jungle - 1

After my 3rd Bruce Springsteen album I've come to the conclusion that The Boss's music is pretty lame.

I can appreciate a few songs, but it's not for me. I'm just not a fan, and I'm having a hard time nailing down exactly why. There are other artists in the same genre that I like. But, alas, not this album.

🤮

Album starts with harmonica - straight to gaol. I just don't get the love for Bruce Springsteen at all, maybe its a generational and location thing? I don't find his music engaging - very bland rock to my ears Death to harmonicas

Rather listen to meatloaf

Bad

Not for me.

Not my type of music. Couldn’t finish it

Me rehúso a edcuchar más bruce springsteen. 0/10

this album and the one prior to it were headache inducing

every time i see brace for springsteen and bored dylan i kinda wanna automatically skip it, i dont get the appeal at all. clearly he is super acomplished and all, but how, its just lame singersmongwriter ahhhh NNN

No thanks.

My 4th Springsteen album on this list. How many are there going to be? Still not a fan

Not for me. I can not for the life of me understand how this guy is so loved.

sorry boss, I can’t get into it.

I think with Springsteen you have to have been there when this came out or something, because I do not get the appeal of Springsteen's song writing. The way he cobbles together lyrics makes it feel like a jumbled mess to me, and his vocals make him sound confused 90% of the time. I found myself not at all invested in his stories but instead asking myself if ol Bruce even knows what he is rambling about. Did he just get lost in an ally one day and then he came up with this album? That could be, because I'm not getting any serious emotional weight behind these lyrics. This album's sound, musically, is as if Springsteen said "ok everyone just solo however you want and I'll mumble these lyrics over it". And they all said "great idea". I can't imagine the nightmare of mixing this in the studio also. It's a mess.

1 star for writing/composition. sounds like mud bro

Boring . This was one of the worst

I guess I get it, I just didn't like it

Dislike Bruce

Sucks

I'm adamant no one truly enjoys Bruce Springsteen. They just think people like him so they follow along. It's like that Darren Brown episode where he coerces someone into committing murder via peer pressure alone. The same is true for Eric Clapton. Once people start to realise this basic truth the world will be a much better place.

I cannot stand his vocal style and every song sounds the same

I tried to have an open mind, but I've never been a Springsteen fan

Uninteressanter Pop Rock.

I had never listened to Bruce Springsteen before now, and after hearing this album, I'm glad I didn't. I read on Wikipedia that because of Bruce's perfectionism, this album took a year and a half to finish, but then I hit play and hear right off the bat the guitars are out of tune. So what kind of perfectionism is that? I guess all he did was add as many instruments as he could think of for 18 months, because the tonal instruments were nothing more than a soup of noise, through which not even the drummer's valiant efforts to provide a little structure could be heard. I thought maybe Bruce could salvage the effort with some brilliant songwriting or a compelling vocal performance, but instead he spent each song debasing what I'm sure was otherwise a perfectly nice microphone. Overall, this album is just very noisy and unfocused. Not enjoyable.

I’ve always been vaguely sure I don’t like Springsteen now I know for sure. It all sounds the same and it’s not great. A lot of it is quite bad. Why does the melody in jungleland sound directly ripped from tiny dancer? Why is the title track held in such high regard? And why is one of the e street band members a main character in The Sopranos?

Bruce Springsteen is right up there with the most overrated American artists of all time. I would never choose to listen to his music and do anything I can to avoid it.

nix für mich

I can't even deal with his voice anymore

Struggled to get through it, absolutely vile, jealous of the deaf.

Elk nummer klinkt een beetje hetzelfde

Eh.

Nope

Meeting Across the River has a good sound. The rest... really didn't gel with me. I don't feel like his voice is adding anything to the fairly solid backing band. The lyrics just don't really connect with me. And the songs often don't really feel like they build or have much in the way of dynamics.

I tried to give it a fair shake. Half the songs are about roads. Never uses the tele on the cover.

I dont like country music

Ughhhhh. At least Born to Run is good. This big sound Americana crap is so awful

Stop it with the Bruce now

I hate it (sorry chris)

Meh. Never understood the appeal of Springsteen.

Unless you’re a Springsteen fan the majority of this album fades into obscurity with only 2 stand out songs out of 9. Obviously the title track and thunder road are classic Springsteen but the rest are rather disappointing

What a mess. Not in a hot crazy girl kind of way, I wouldn't even want 15 minutes in the pub loos with this album. I continue to be dumfounded by his success.

Boring and overrated

Yeah, this is my second album from "The Boss" on this list. What a fucking joke. This is so god awful unlistenable and horrible. There is nothing to this other than just an overly rushed ramble through some shitty song. Get this guy out of here. I'm sure there are even more of his albums on this list, so I have that disappointment to look forward to.

The musical equivalent of a root canal, complete with a voice that sounds like a dentists drill. 🦷

Respect to the man but not a bit of me

It always amazes me that the same person who wrote "Because The Night" and the "Nebraska" album can create so much utter dross.

didnt really have any songs i like, but the guitars q solid

Not sure which I like less, the banging piano notes or the shrill sax.

hate springstein

Why. Why he's always shouting for absolutely nothing? This combined to annoying saxophone and lifeless piano. I'm sorry, I know he's a legend but I'll never be able to enjoy his music.

Dull

It’s a skip for me

Leider nicht ganz meins, keines der Lieder geht für mich ins Ohr oder bleibt irgendwie hängen..

Not a fan of the mumbling style but Born was a great hit. The rest all seem to similar to each other

Springsteen is basically the antithesis to what I want out of music. "Heartland rock" sums up the sound perfectly and why I'm not a fan. I can't stand the heartland of this country.

Quem roubou o nome da Camila??

:(

Ach nee, das alles klingt breiig

Extremely boring

Pas tr ès bien, un peu fouilli les instruments

Not my came

Never been a big fan of the boss. I appreciate his talent but his music is not for me

No

Aldrig mer

meh

Couple iconic tracks, Springsteen has never really been my thing. Something about his production / style just annoys me.

Its OK Not Bad Solidly Average for me

awesome
