 bruce springsteen \ greatest hits
the breakdown/reassembling at the 3:00 mark is one of the best touches bruce put in any of his songs.
there's the regular bruce style (spitting out words in groups of 4 and 5), there's the electronic 80s feel, and then there's the most important, the feeling that the drifters are performing the instrumental version of their classic, "under the boardwalk" while this song plays.
the song i was least familiar from the "hits" but a good one nonetheless.

 RollingStone.com: Greatest Hits : Bruce Springsteen : Review
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.

On the surface, it was one of the most unlikely of rock re-births: Springsteen, all-American rock hero, jumping on the populist AIDS bandwagon represented by the film "Philadelphia", but in the space of one 3-minute recording, he captured more genuine emotion than the entire film managed to do.

Springsteen notoriously embodies the degeneracy of the humble-born American dilapidating into a self-hating, excuses-making, America-blaming turncoat, a cancerous illness that afflicts most "artists" irretrievably and tends to befall "artists" because of their unpardonably stubborn character flaw of perpetrating extremely amoral tolerance and open-mindedness which perilously leads to the worst, traitorous wrongdoings imaginable.
Bruce Springsteen is one of the hardest artists to anthologize, since his music went through so many changes over the years.

Yet, at the end of the day we are all proud that we were born in the U.S.A. Since September 11th I have heard this song quite a bit and I have to admit the spirit of this rock anthem is therapeutic and powerful.
I am not a big enough Springsteen fan to have all his albums, so this collage of his work is sufficient for me. I think he is a talented lyricist and a musician who is integral to the body of America’s rock music.

All of which is to say that Greatest Hits is a hodge-podge that, while not without merit, is nevertheless unsatisfactory in several ways.
Springsteen considered calling it something other than Greatest Hits (one idea: This Hard Land), and that might have been a better idea if he was going to fiddle with the concept this much.
Some of Springsteen's best and best-known hit recordings are here -- "Born to Run, " "Hungry Heart, " "Dancing in the Dark, " "Born in the U.S.A., " and the recent "Streets of Philadelphia, " the success of which probably prompted the release of a compilation.

 Greatest Hits, Bruce Springsteen
Of course, most of the obvious hits are there -- "Born to Run", "The River", "Hungry Heart", etc. What is the most striking inclusion on the album is "Atlantic City", a deeply depressing song from the "Nebraska" album that didn't chart high enough to really be considered a "greatest hit".
However, this dour song sets up the last half of the album beautifully -- the next songs are his "Born in the USA" hits, all of which are either upbeat or, at least in the case of the "USA" title track, highly spirited.
This isn't to put a gravestone on Bruce's career, but this album from the mid-90s might provide the essential Springsteen, if not the comprehensive Springsteen.

 Bruce Springsteen Reviews
The last time Bruce Springsteen ventured West for inspiration, the result was the desolate Nebraska and its tales of serial killers and used cars.
Some call it Nebraska II, but his second acoustic album was not a repeat of his first--the characters and settings had changed, and their circumstances were more expressly desperate, and social--though it did share the same interest in what happens to people whose isolation or marginal status renders them invisible.
Everybody--including Springsteen himself--seemed to think it was a record about 9/11, but the subject was broader: death and loss as seen from more than halfway down life's road.

The pace lags a bit near the end--"Secret Garden" is turgid enough to take its place on a Sting album--but Greatest Hits earns its place in the CD player with stuff like "Born to Run," "The River" and "Dancing in the Dark." --Rickey Wright --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
The four new tracks are ok, and shows Bruce is not being lazy, but perhaps the space could have been used for some of the classics that didn't make the collection.
The only thing is that Bruce Springsteen's first seven albums all contained so many great album tracks that you're really going to miss out on something if this is the only Springsteen-album you ever get.

It seems like an eternity since Bruce Springsteen was the undisputed king of rock and roll.
There was a departure from the E-Street band and Bruce went out on his own for a while.
The big drawback to this compilation is that Bruce's career is so extensive and varied (there are three periods to it) that every fan will find something missing from it.

Personally, I've never been a fan of "Dancing In The Dark" and several hits (like "Hungry Heart", "My Hometown" and "Born In the USA") are just way too played out for me.
Yeah, I know it leans a bit on "Darkness On the Edge of Town", but let me just wrap this up by saying you are FAR better off with at least "Born To Run", "Darkness...", "The River" and "Tunnel of Love" than this CD.

You can grumble about the early romps that aren't here--what, no "Rosalita"?--or about your favorite B-side not being included, but the fact is these are the songs that have lasted through Bruce Springsteen's first two decades, and you could hardly ask for more Springsteen on a single disc.
What follows is one of the greatest strings of singles to ever deal head-on with that confrontation between dreams and realities.
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.

And in the case of Springsteen, many of his best songs never had any radio play to speak of (e.g., 'Jungleland').
And while these aren't ALL his greatest hits, they are some of them.
It's obviously not meant for existing fans -- we already have most of the tracks on the original albums, and the four new ones are hardly essential (although "Murder Incorporated" captures a small taste of the old magic, probably because it's a leftover from the days of "Born in the USA").
