	Bruce Springsteen's biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		When Bruce Springsteen finally broke through to national recognition in the fall of 1975 after a decade of trying, critics hailed him as the savior of rock and roll, the single artist who brought together all the exuberance of '50s rock and the thoughtfulness of '60s rock, molded into a '70s style.
		Two decades later, however, Springsteen remained an established star who could look back on a career that had produced one of the best-selling albums of all time, sold-out stadium shows, Grammy Awards and an Oscar, and a group of imitators who constituted their own subgenre of popular music.
		The album was a hit, though it did not match the success of Born To Run.

	Bruce Springsteen: The Essential Bruce Springsteen: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Springsteen is neither glamorous nor mysterious, but as this three-disc compilation demonstrates, he is an extremely talented and important artist.
		The final phase of Springsteen's early charge was the 1975 album Born to Run, where he openly stated that he was trying to make the greatest rock album of all time (later he clarified that what he was shooting for was Phil Spector producing Roy Orbison with words by Dylan).
		The two albums Springsteen released in 1992 were the weakest of his career, and Essential rescues the titles cuts and "Living Proof" from the heap (though only "Human Touch" approaches the best of Tunnel of Love).

		When Bruce Springsteen finally broke through to national recognition in the fall of 1975 after a decade of trying, critics hailed him as the savior of rock & roll, the single artist who brought together all the exuberance of '50s rock and the thoughtfulness of '60s rock, molded into a '70s style.
		Springsteen returned with the double album The River (October 1980), which topped the charts and featured his first Top Ten hit, "Hungry Heart." Nobody was calling him a hype anymore, but Springsteen retreated from his expanding success, next recording the low-key album Nebraska (September 1982), a virtual demo tape on vinyl.
		(Springsteen did not tour to promote the album, and in the interim E Street Band guitarist Van Zandt amicably left the group for a solo career, to be replaced by Nils Lofgren.) But then came Born in the U.S.A. (June 1984) and a two-year international tour.

	Reason to Rock: Bruce Springsteen
		Springsteen's approach to song structure was much more fluid than that of his contemporaries, with the structure of each song adapting itself to the thematic content, rather than the other way around.
		In three albums Springsteen has gone from wild innocence, to a determined defiance, and finally to a bleak world in which his protagonist's hopes and dreams are his worst enemies, since he seems condemned to live in a world where they can never be realized, and serve only to taunt him.
		Springsteen seems fully aware that these vehicles are both a blessing and a curse, representing a sense of power and release but also isolating their riders from their communities and from each other.

	Bruce Springsteen Album Reviews
		At this point Bruce was more of a singer-songwriter (at least on record, as perhaps he was trying to live up to the Dylan tag; Bruce in concert was a far different proposition) than pure rock n’ roller, and as such this was a sophisticated effort in that vein.
		Since Bruce Springsteen is an album oriented artist with rabid fans who already own all of his songs, the reason people ran to their local record store to buy this album was because of the four newly recorded songs with the reunited (at least temporarily) E. Street Band.
		In 1997 Bruce Springsteen recorded a song, “We Shall Overcome,” for a Pete Seeger tribute album, and he was so inspired by the material that he later reconvened with many of the same excellent musicians (13 in all) for 1 day recording sessions in 2005 and 2006.

	Rolling Stone : Bruce Springsteen: Greatest Hits : Music Reviews
		Bruce Springsteen is a peerless songwriter and consummate artist whose every painstakingly crafted album serves as an impassioned and literate pulse taking of a generation's fortunes.
		For this reason, Greatest Hits comes across as a collection of familiar songs, each stellar in its own right, that somehow adds up to something less than the sum of its parts – even with the grafted-on bonus of four new tracks recorded with the E Street Band.
		In hindsight, Greatest Hits documents Springsteen's discomfort with the spotlight, the diminishing role of the E Street Band in his music and his rueful view of lives disintegrating against a backdrop of red, white and blues.

	Bruce Springsteen-Greatest hits
		Springsteen dominated the charts in the early to mid eighties, and was popularly known as “The Boss”.
		This Greatest Hits is a testament to the Boss, and although a lot of fans will complain it has all the songs they already own, it shows the very talents of the diverse Springsteen.
		Springsteen, not only developed a mass of fans for his lyrics, his moody dark penetrating gaze, but also for the fact he sings about blue-collar America, singing about songs that people could relate to.

		Today, he is among the world's greatest rock icons, but he has had only one album reach No. 1 on the charts since "Tunnel of Love" (1987), and it was a greatest-hits album released in 1995.
		Although this is his first studio album in eighteen years to draw on the full power of the E Street Band, its producer, Brendan O'Brien, didn't go for a live, classic-rock-band approach.
		All the signature Springsteen narrative and detail has been stripped out: there is not a single Joe Roberts or Bill Horton wrestling with his conflicts, no Crazy Janey or Magic Rat, no working on the highway or racing in the street.

		The one or two "rarities" included are often not even unheard songs, just early versions of greatest hits recorded on a 2-track in 1964 in the artist's bathroom, or what not.
		The four discs that make up this collection contain a grand total of TWO songs that appear on previously released Springsteen LP's; virtually unrecognizable early versions of "Born in the USA" and "it's Hard to Be a Saint in the City," both of which are fascinating to hear.
		The inclusion of a few songs from movie soundtracks and benefit albums, such as "Trapped" from the USA for Africa project, would have been nice, but that is only a minor flaw.

		As soon as Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band took the stage that night, the performance immediately became a classic and defining moment in history of the band, perfectly encapsulating the passion, the drama, the intensity, and all that embodies this extraordinary band.
		"Bruce Springsteen is one of the all-time bestselling musicians on Amazon.com, and 'Born to Run' is regarded by many to be one of the greatest songs--from one of the greatest albums--of all time," said Jeff Belle, Amazon.com's vice president of worldwide media buying.
		Springsteen is one of the artists featured: he sings 'The River', 'Thunder Road' and then 'Quarter to Three', the old Gary US Bonds hit that he used to play as an encore.

	Born To Run: 4/12/05 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Born To Run -- the album and the song -- is a rock and roll fever dream, the most evangelical sermon ever preached in the Holy Church of Rock as Redemption.
		On this album, a brash young singer-songwriter fresh out of the New Jersey club scene set some of the most evocative American street poetry of the 20th century to an electrifying set of recklessly expansive rock and roll.
		They are impossibly grand, ambitious and intense goodbyes to the Jersey shore street life romanticized so effectively by Springsteen on his first two albums, beautiful cries of agony and frustration at the loss of his friends, his youth, his world.

		The four blockbusters that open GREATEST HITS weren't actually hits--"Born To Run" peaked at #23 on the charts, "Badlands" didn't break the top 40, and the other two weren't singles at all--but they laid down the rules for all the hits that followed and they've remained concert and rock radio staples.
		The four new songs on GREATEST HITS find Springsteen finally finding a way to incorporate his E Street Band--which hadn't performed on a studio album for 11 years before this--into his current infatuation with mellower, though no less hard-hitting rock.
		Bruce Springsteen came out of New Jersey in the early 1970s sounding like a cross between Bob Dylan and early Tom Waits, backed by the rambunctious E Street Band.

	Bruce Springsteen - We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions / Album Review / Rock Music Review
		It’s not because it’s a Springsteen album or that it’s an acoustic album.
		Springsteen’s part of the album was a slick but subdued version of “We Shall Overcome.” That cut appears on The Seeger Sessions because from it sprung the richness of this new musical experiment.
		The DVD documentary shows Springsteen orchestrating the arrangements of some of the songs, telling a violinist to play a gypsy phrase that he scats out to him or calling out to the horns (trumpet, trombone, saxophone, and tuba) to each take a turn at a few measures of something else.

	Bruce Springsteen Album Reviews
		This album is an extremely thoughtful, powerful meditation on the anger and frustration inherent in the working class life – very well executed and performed by the Boss and his minions.
		All the Springsteen familiars are accounted for: cars, chicks, and more importantly, the tormenting notion that something better in life is out there, but there’s no easy way to get to it.
		In the meantime, Bruce's lyrics give such amazing imagery as if this song is a story, and it is. The Boss comes in for a brief solo which is soon followed by a guitar harmony and the whole band.

	Greatest Hits (Bruce Springsteen) - Reviews on RateItAll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Bruce Springsteen's compilation release Greatest Hits (released in 1995) is an uneven representation of his career.
		Nevertheless, in my opinion, no greatest hits package should be on this list as a compilation cannot really be compared to regular releases and does not represent the concept of a full-length effort.
		How a Springsteen Greatest Hits album can have twice as many songs from Born in the USA than it does from Born to Run is beyond me. Sure, this album has good tunes, but as a big Bruce fan, I think it does a great disservice calling itself a greatest hits album.
