Bruce Springsteen - By The River
Review by Mahdi Pourebadi
By The River, the latest album from Bruce Springsteen, is a soulful and introspective collection of songs that showcase the legendary musician's songwriting prowess.
Throughout the album, Springsteen explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of the human experience. From the haunting ballad "The River" to the lively and upbeat "Hungry Heart," each track on the album is a testament to Springsteen's ability to capture the essence of the human condition.
One standout track is "Point Blank," a haunting and melancholic ballad that tells the story of a man grappling with the aftermath of a failed relationship. Springsteen's vocals are raw and emotional, conveying the pain and heartache of the song's protagonist.
Another highlight of the album is "Independence Day," a moving tribute to a troubled relationship between a father and son. The song's lyrics are poignant and powerful, painting a vivid picture of a family torn apart by the weight of their own emotional baggage.

Notes

- The color of the font on cover may vary, however, this entry is for the issue with gold text.

- Reprint with black vinyl and different cover.
- The color of the font on cover may vary, however, this entry is for the issue with purple text.

- Deluxe b/w sleeve cover. Originals first 100 copies pressed on blue vinyl. The first 25 were packaged with a 44-pages book of lyrics!
- The colour of the writings on cover may vary. Mainly (and originally) blue, but may also be gold, or red, or purple. Quite all versions but the blue one have blank labels.
- Repressed with a b/w insert, on black vinyl, with matrix MOD 1012.
- Also repackaged (the MOD one) with THE TIES THAT BIND name. Pay particular attention to the inner sleeve. Some copies have a deluxe picture one, other a bare white one. The sleeve seems not to be related to the 'originality', but this seems very strange. Probably the very first copies had it, even if blue copies without deluxe inner sleeve are around (maybe lost or ruined?), but, more strange, black copies WITH sleeve have been seen….
