Darkness on the Edge of Town专辑介绍
Bruce Springsteen在经历了Born to Run之后的数年沉寂后推出的一张大作，他说在创作的时候，他的脑海中有一种特别的东西，而他努力要让这种东西尽情地爆发出来。而这种“特别的东西“，被许多人理解为是关于人们为破碎的梦想而奋斗的精神。这张专辑推出之后，Bruce进行了长期的巡演，让这些歌曲广为传唱，专辑在Billboard排到第三，英国排行榜也排名第16，尽管在商业上不算特别成功，但有许多人在这张专辑中找到共鸣，并且认为这是Bruce最好的一张专辑。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第151位。
Coming three years and one extended court battle after Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town was highly anticipated. Some attributed the album's embattled tone to Bruce Springsteen's legal troubles, but it carried on from Born to Run, in which Springsteen had first begun to view his colorful cast of characters as "losers." On Darkness, he began to see them as the working class: his characters, some of whom he inhabited and sang for in the first person, had little and were in danger of losing even that. Their only hope for redemption lay in working harder, and their only escape lay in driving. Springsteen presented these hard truths in hard rock settings, the tracks paced by powerful drumming and searing guitar solos. Though not as heavily produced as Born to Run, Darkness was given a full-bodied sound; Springsteen's stories were becoming less heroic, but his musical style remained grand -- the sound, and the conviction in his singing, added weight to songs like "Racing in the Street" and the title track, transforming the pathetic into the tragic. But despite the rock & roll fervor, Darkness was no easy listen, and it served notice that Springsteen was already willing to risk his popularity for his principles.
