Why only five stars? 15 May 2000
Format:Audio CD
One of the greatest rock albums ever. A work of art. Most artists would kill to have written the weaker tracks, and to have Thunder Road, Backstreets, Born to Run itself and Jungleland all on one album is unbelievable. An album for all ages, all moods, all time. Too many five star reviews are handed out too easily. 25 years on, this is worth every star and more. It's easy to forget that when he wrote this masterpiece Bruce was barely known. The confidence and authority is astonishing. Rolling Stone were famously moved to say they'd seen the future or rock n roll, and how right they were. I know some take The River as their favourite Bruce album but for me - like many doubles - it has a bit too much padding. This is the one.

It is difficult to find the words to write about this album. Released in 1975, when Bruce appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek simultaneously, it was an album that musically and lyrically did something that no other rock artist had done for quite sometime. Combining a powerful, thrilling, Phil Spector style "wall of sound" with heartfelt, genuine, intelligent lyrics, it proved to the world what Springsteen already knew: that rock n' roll has the power to save your life. Despite two earlier LP's which were critically acclaimed but sold poorly, this feels like the start of Bruce's search for himself and his sense of community. Simply one of the greatest rock n' roll LP's of all time. Buy it and find out why.

the very first time i heard this album was later in the same week i first saw bruce and the e street band live at newcastle in 1985.wow,what a show after all the build up and hype.my knee jerk reaction was to buy a couple of his albums to investigate further.born to run the album proved to me to be his best.a classic!both musically and lyrically from the opening chords of thunder road to the epic and dramatic effects of jungleland (with its memorable sax solo,courtesy of clarence "big man" clemance)and everything in between,the consistency is solid.the youthfull exhuberence and escapist feel of the title track is the ultimate feelgood track.other musical influences like bo diddely with his trademark riff du du du du du du (you know the one)are there on the blistering shes the one.and the phil spector production style makes its mark throughout.nb:he did not produce this album though.the more mellower track meeting across the river is thought provoking,apperently about a failed drugs deal i belive.i have heard other bruce springsteen albums in the meantime of course,some classics too.but this is my favourite without a doubt.london was indeed ready for bruce sprinsteen (sic)when he came there on his first uk tour at the same of born to run,s release.what a backdrop.

seminal album
His later albums, Luck Town , The Rising, Bob Seeger sessions ,are much more accomplished. He has perfected his formula over the years.
