Title: Hauntingly beautiful
Product review: My only exposure to the "Nebraska" album was me hearing the title track and "Atlantic City" a few times. I had the basic idea of the album though: the Boss armed with his lonesome howl and his guitar. After taking long enough, I finally went out and got me a copy. After listening to it once, I only have one thing to say.Wow.This album is stark, dark, lonesome, and hard. It's a complete turnaround from Bruce's usual loud, fist-pumping rockers. These songs are stories of everyday people, as usual, but these stories are bleak and have no happy endings. This is a rough album.Nearly all the songs captured me (except for State Trooper), but some standouts are the title track, Atlantic City, Johnny 99, Highway Patrolman, and My Father's House. The track Nebraska is truly terrifying and stays with you long after the last song has been heard.All in all, this is an excellent CD. I'm still trying to stockpile Springsteen's discography, but this one is a definite winner. Highly recommended!
