Bruce Springsteen Album-By-Album
A listener's guide by Rob Sheffield and the Rolling Stone staff
The River (1980)




Listen
Heart-wrenching epics, catchy throwaways. The theme: Republicans back in power, screwing up the economy, leaving working people to clean up the mess; hard to remember what that was like, isn't it?
HIGH POINT: "Out in the Street," a joyous block-party celebration that proves Little Steven really can sing. Kind of.
