I listened to this album a little while ago, but I have had so many writing projects that I am falling behind. Any further discussion on my current workload will lead to tears, so let's just move onto Nebraska.
Finally, we reached the end of our horrible streak of albums. I didn't think I would connect to this, as my understanding of Bruce Springsteen was that he was the working man's hero. Fortunately, this was just beautiful. It was so simple; just his vocals, a guitar, and a harmonica (that made not be correct but that's what I heard). You could really just focus on the lyrical quality of the songs, which was excellent. Who knew Bruce Springsteen was such a poet? Everyone, you say?
Highly recommended.
RATING: 5/5
So I'm doing this same project and I'm just a few albums ahead of you, so I'm going to check out your entire blog now. Are you doing the updated 2016 version of the book?
ReplyDeleteHi Bobby! I think I am going to stick with the list I started out with. Are you doing the 2016 one? And do you have a blog? I would love to read about your journey!
DeleteYeah they put out a 2016 version of the book that ends with Backstar by David Bowie, so I'm going to do that but I'm going to listen to the 20-ish albums they've cut from the book over the years as well. I don't have a blog, and I've just been keeping a journal of my scores/reviews, but maybe I can convert it into a blog someday
DeleteOr you can use Amanda's blog to log your progress as I do :D (sorry, Amanda).
DeleteWelcome to the club Bobby! It's good to know we are not alone in this crazy journey.
As I said earlier, I love the Boss. I knew you would end up liking him, too, Amanda; because you like good lyrics and his are the best. :)
Love him! How can I not?
