BORN TO RUN
| Bruce SpringsteenBORN TO RUN
Born to Run is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen. As his effort to break into the mainstream, the album was a commercial success, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200 and eventually selling six million copies in the United States. Two singles were released from the album: "Born to Run" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out"; the first helped Springsteen to reach mainstream popularity. The tracks "Thunder Road", "She's the One", and "Jungleland" became staples of album-oriented rock radio and Springsteen concert high points. Born to Run garnered widespread acclaim when it was first released on August 25, 1975, by Columbia Records. It has since been considered by critics to be one of the greatest albums in popular music. On November 14, 2005, a 30th Anniversary remaster of the album was released as a box set including two DVDs: a production diary film and a concert movie.-Wikipedia

an intentional masterpiece

Billboard
Born to Run is, however, Bruce Springsteen’s most Bruce Springsteen album -- the one that exemplifies the go-for-broke barrage of guitar, piano, sax, and glockenspiel that most people associate with the Boss.

a powerhouse release that takes you on an open-ended cinematic rock and roll journey

This album is the pinnacle of Springsteen's Phil Spector obsession

powerfully evoked by the monumental Wall of Sound production and operatic arrangements, is overwhelming -- and exalting

Album Reviews
Born to Run is accessible and established Springsteen as a major creative force in a stagnating music scene
-
Anti Music
Springsteen dug his heels in to create an album that wasn't just streamlined and more approachable, but he set out to make the greatest rock n' roll record ever. I'm happy to say he didn't just succeed, but did so wildly.
