Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Import exclusive two-disc set combines Bruce's 1978 album Darkness On The Edge Of Town with his1982 album Nebraska. Two standard jewel cases housed in a slip case. Sony/BMG. 2005.
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

this is his third best album behind only Born to Run and Born in the USA!!!

Bruce Springsteen shaped the futures for many artists to follow. And he is as good now as he ever was.

The cover photos for this album symbolize what it's all about. On the front, Springsteen wears that emblematic "Born to Run" black leather jacket, as seen on the cover of the previous record that made him an overnight superstar. On the back, the famous stud-leather is gone; the Boss is stripped down to a plain white T.
For all its success, to my ears "Born to Run"'s songs are often sentimental and even phony: the record pumps up banal, everyday stories into unconvincing epics with comic ... Read More

Although the sound is at times muddy/murky; it suits the subject matter. However, as others have commented, this cd screams out for a re-master. That is the only negative thing that I can say about Darkness. The material is uniformly top class. One great song follows another. As on all of his 1970's albums there are several instant classics - are there any better sing along car songs than Racing in the Street? Bruce rocks more than on the previous three albums and certainly more than he has since this ... Read More

Bruce's rocker status is signed, sealed and delivered with this CD. This is the hardest rocking he and the band have done. If you read the backstory, you'll understand why--the band fought hard to record this music and I'm glad they won.
It's also some of the most painful music. There's a whole lot of anger here at a father, "Adam Raised a Cain," at the working life, "Factory."
"The Promised Land" and "Streets of Fire" offer a bit of hope, but it's thin and maybe won't happen ... Read More
