Born in the U.S.A.~ Bruce Springsteen is an excellent straight forward rock album with smash hits such as I'm on fire, Born in the USA, and Glory Days. This is staright forward rock-pop music with an easy to sing to tune and lyrics that are not that complicated and I must say that their is not all that much politics in it as many have stated. Yeah, sure there are some sentimental lines in Born in the USA but it is not like hiting you over the head with his rhetoric. He does write many lyrics that the workingman can relate to and I think he does this with class and tact. This is a very good release that has aged very well indeed.
