darkness on the edge of town was springsteens follow up to the classic album born to run. during and after the album born to run springsteen found himself in a law suit with hes manager and which prevented him from recording.
this was the first album since released during that time with he's control of he's music seeming like it was slipping away and a realization that it all could be taken away springsteen changed he's style of writting and as he says this si the album where he found he's voice and what he wanted to write about and would continue to write about ever since.
Its a mix of defiant anthems and dark gritty guitar led yearning rock ballads.
regarded by fans as he's best album along with born to run this shows bruce springsteen as the rocker welding he's guitar as scret weapon agaisnt the hard reality of everyday life.
the working class issues the father & song troubled relationship the lack of money and loss of faith are all represented here in some superb dark and angry tales some mournful.
There is a defiance in the voice but also a sadness the album fights for the right to be a live to call for the things that are yours and fight for them when they are bein taken away.
it also has the realization of reality of facing the hard struggle to survive everyday, work love life.
in born to run springsteen was a romantic dreamer who wanted the girl to run away with him to get out of that dead end town before it ripped from him he's dreams.
in darkness this is what happens when you cant get out or when you have gotten out but find you still have to face reality.
it has many classics, badlands, the promised land, prove it all night, racing in the street, some gritty scorching guitar solos , some yearning vocals, some anger some sadness but above all it has passion.
if you need a reason to carry on then stick this album on and it will make you want to get up nd do something , anything to make things better, springsteen at he's best

Summary: a master piece of a album of mans & womens eveyday struggle to survive
