Product Description

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


CD Description

'Born In The USA' was Bruce Springsteen's seventh album andwas originally released in 1984. This was the last studio album to be recorded alongside the E Street Band until 2002's'The Rising'. Spawning two top five and two top twenty hitswhich were 'Dancing In The Dark', 'Cover Me', 'Glory Days' and the double a-side 'Im On Fire/Born In The USA'

5.0 out of 5 stars a definition of rock at its finest, 24 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Born in the USA (Audio CD)
in my opinion, born in the USA is one of the best albums ever! it has everything any rock or pop music fan could ever ask for. from its opening collection of thundering stadium rock tracks ('darlington county', 'working on the highway'and the title track 'born in the USA') further listening to them tells a much darker, meaningful story than the music suggests. included are the more softly spoken tracks such as 'I'm on fire' and 'my hometown' which are just as thought provoking and help to demonstrate bruce's vocal skills. this album launched bruce into a global megastar and its easy to see why. this is an essential purchase for any springsteen fan or any music fan in general!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer perfection, 22 Nov 2002
This review is from: Born in the USA (Audio CD)
This is American rock & roll in a nutshell....brash, loud, and fun...but it's not all sweetness and light. If you actually listen to the lyrics (which many don't) you'll see that each song has meaning. Springsteen is one of the best musical storytellers of the modern era (Billy Joel is another) and he is quintessential American rocker: soulful, fun but with a dark side, and endlessly talented. U.S.A. was by far his biggest and most "accessible" album (whatever THAT means) but it's not much different from his other work in that he pours his heart and soul into it and gives you all he's got every single time you play it. BRAVO BRUCE!

4.0 out of 5 stars Born In The USA, 20 Jan 2009
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
`Born in the USA' is one of those albums that has become a classic and epitomises the times it was written and released in. This lead to Bruces famous stadium tours that left him exhausted, but showcased his music to a wider audience. Although the title track has been overplayed and feels slightly cliched as a result, it still has great power when it starts and this album has so many great tracks that you are left in awe at the amount of talent on one CD. From excellent, more low key tracks such as `Cover Me' to `Darlington County' via full on rockers like `Glory Days' and `Bobby Jean' and touching on the more brooding and moving songs like `I'm on Fire' and `My Hometown', this albums has a selection of tracks to suit any mood or taste. All of this, coupled with the now iconic album cover and you will have in your hands a slice of music history that has rarely been surpassed. It has become a classic for a reason and is well worth a try.
