Album Description
Available in:
The River är ett musikalbum av Bruce Springsteen, utgivet av skivbolaget Columbia Records den 10 oktober 1980. Dubbelalbumet innehåller varierad musik med såväl mörka ballader, livsskildringar och riktiga rocklåtar. Det blev, som första album av Springsteen, etta på Billboards albumlista. "The River" och "Hungry Heart" blev stora hits.
User Album Review
Throughout the 1970's Bruce Springsteen developed a significant following due to his earthy mid-tempo rock that often focused on the plights of the working class. He was one of the few gifted artists that could create rock that was lively and thoughtful, capable of spreading political or societal messages without coming off as preachy or holier-than-thou.
As good as Springsteen was during the 70's, it was during the 80's when he perfected his formula and forever sealed his reputation as one of rock's greatest performers. In fact he is still actively releasing albums and performing 30 years after his debut album in 1973 – a feat nearly unrivaled in the music world.
The River was Springsteen's first 80's masterpiece, a gigantic double-album that featured a whopping twenty tracks. Often the idea of a double-album is better than the actual reality; artists often run out of inspiration when composing so many tracks for one work that filler material becomes inevitable. While some of the tracks work better than others on The River, all contain that Springsteen flair that make them wholly enjoyable.
Some of the highlights of this double album are:
Hungry Heart – One of the Boss' greatest and most identifiable hits ever. This anthemic song was the first of his significantly "commercial" tracks and as such enjoyed plenty of airplay on the radios.
Independence Day – A heartfelt ballad concerning a father and son that demonstrated Springsteen's versatility when compared with the exuberant Hungry Heart.
I Wanna Marry You – This isn't one of Springsteen's better-known songs, but it's a fun little pop-rocker that provides a nice contrast to his more thought-provoking faire.
What impressed me most about this double-album is the sheer diversity offered throughout. Lighthearted pop-rockers, ballads, songs with societal messages… you'll find it all on The River, one of the Boss' best albums ever. Make sure you give this highly recommended and timeless album a listen if you haven't experienced its rock bliss already.
