Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

The pain of a protracted legal battle with his former manager and the release of being allowed to record again after a three-year layoff are equally apparent from the piercing hard rock and harsh lyrical content of Darkness on the Edge of Town. Betrayal and hard work that comes to naught are the primary subjects on his mind here, evidenced by songs such as "Adam Raised a Cain," "Factory," and "Streets of Fire." Elsewhere, there are signs of hope or at least the possibility of outrunning your problems ("Racing in the Street," "The Promised Land," "Prove It All Night"). But mostly, these are songs about exorcising some serious demons, and from the sound of things, Springsteen's loud, lonesome howl and blistering guitar work went a long way toward making him whole again. This is angry art, made by someone pushed to his absolute limit and more than ready to push back. --Daniel Durchholz


From Amazon.co.uk

The Roy Orbison drama, the Wall of Sound and the soul energy of Born to Run are still present here but there's a darkness now, too, and it's more than around the edges. The stories have more at risk, for one thing, a definite sense of the pain that can accompany the hardest choices. These real-world consequences are felt most strikingly in Bruce Springsteen's newly prominent guitar--his solos are ugly and twisted but he sounds all the stronger for it. Recorded for everyone who has "a notion ... it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive", Darkness on the Edge of Town might just be Springsteen's greatest achievement. --David Cantwell

5.0 out of 5 stars 炸裂！！, 2008/4/19
ブルースがボサッと突っ立ったジャケが気になり、聴いたのが高校生のとき。
音を聴いて、脳天をハンマーで打ち砕かれるようなショックを味わったアルバム。

魂を吐き出すかのようなド迫力ボーカル。
切り裂くようなシャープなエレキギター。
非の打ち所の無い楽曲アレンジ。
そして、希望と挫折を織り交ぜたブルースの詩は、当時の私にはとてつもなく新鮮なものでした。日本語訳を目で追いながら、何回もコレを聴いた。

苦言をひとつ。
このアルバムの評価は、前作『ＢＯＲＮ　ＴＯ　ＲＵＮ』とやたら比べられてる気がする。
落ち着いただの内省的だの。
確かに、前作のハチきれた疾走感とは異なる。
しかし、声を大にしていいたい。
他のアルバムと比べず、純粋にこのアルバムの力強さを感じて欲しい。
まさに「炸裂！」と言う言葉がふさわしい力強さなのだ。
前作と比べた安直な批評を目にして、何度「違う、違うんだ〜！」と叫んだことか。（実際、叫んではいませんが＾＾；）

熱い魂のロックを求めている方。スプリングスティーンを聞いたことない方。
是非、これを聴いてください。
ぶっ飛びます。

5.0 out of 5 stars BOSSが満を持して出した入魂のアルバム, 2005/10/18
By しゃちほこはちべ - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
このレビューの引用元: Darkness on the Edge of Town (CD)
まだ学生で感受性が強いころに聞いたせいか、未だにこのアルバム
（というかBorn In The USAころまで）を聴くと体に電気が走る。
このアルバムはマイク・アペルとの訴訟問題で頭を押さえつけられて
いたBRUCEが蓋をはずされて、今までの鬱憤をはらしたアルバム、
と書くと爆発しそうな熱いハードなアルバムに思われそうだが、実際はそうでもない。
一曲目のBadlandのイントロ聞くとうぉぉぉとこのままトップギア
までと思うが、２曲目がサードくらいで止まり３曲目はかなり方向性が変わる。
そう、BRUCEはこのアルバムからやりきれない若者が明日に向かって走る世界
のみならず、現実そのものを歌い始めている。
だから5や10が心に染みる。
BRUCEの最高傑作とは言わないが、避けて通れない重要アルバム。

5.0 out of 5 stars 隠れた名作, 2002/12/13
スプリングスティーンの作品の中では、取り上げられることが少ないが、隠れた名作です。長いキャリアの中でも間違いなく最高傑作の曲が並んでいます。アルバム自体は、地味めな印象を与えるが、間違いなく買いです。
