Darkness on the Edge of Town…
… is my album of the week. It is Bruce Springteen’s finest record among his earlier material. I know “Born to Run” has that triumphant vibe to it, but “Darkness…” is so much more fulfilling as a whole—it is more ambitious, proves that Bruce can rip shredding and short, yet high impact, guitar solos, introduces his classic cast of working class characters who work in the factory all day and race cars at night;—what else do i need to say? It’s The Boss being The Boss at its best!
