I consider The River a rock & roll milestone

All Music
The River wasn't Springsteen's first attempt to make a truly adult rock & roll album, but it's certainly a major step forward from Darkness on the Edge of Town, and he rarely made an album as compelling as this, or one that rewards repeat listening as well.

a massive album in both length and scope

We Plug Good Music
there’s no wonder why Springsteen has used this flagship album, celebrating its thirty five years in the world of music, to support his touring this year

Anti Music
The twenty-songs that encompass The River take the listener on a journey that is arduous as it is blissful and redeeming and makes you not just contemplate about what you heard, but hopefully come to the consciousness that is ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.
