Title: My fave
Product review: "Greetings" has always been my favorite Springsteen "record", so I must disagree with some of the other reviews I've seen here. The lyrical quality of this album is not to be topped. You can just see the sages of the subway, riding their line of balance, holding on by just a thread, and feel the compression and pressure in the claustrophobic subway car in the vocal, which sounds like Bruce is struggling for breath until he's able to break "out of that hole" and can breathe again.And the hopeful exhuberance of "Does this bus stop at 82nd Street" descends seemlessly into the despair of "Lost in the Flood" so perfectly that for a long long time I considered them one song.I highly recommend this album to any one who is a "word person", or who wants to see the ancestoral roots of some of the characters found on later works.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
