The River专辑介绍 Bruce Springsteen在他的第五张专辑里探讨了“真正的人际关系”,即人在孤独中彼此寻找安慰的感觉,于是诞生了他的第一首Top 5歌曲《Hungry Heart》(饥渴的心),这首歌唱到了无数都市人的心里,加上Bruce随后举行的长期巡演,这张专辑在美国热卖了500万张,在欧洲也取得了非常大的影响。这张专辑本来想起名为The Ties That Bind,不过Bruce想来想去,觉得这个名字太过直白,于是用了The River,而这首歌也确实具有专辑同名歌曲的实力,非常动听。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第250位。
Imbedded within the double-disc running time of The River is a single-disc album that follows up on the themes and sound of Darkness on the Edge of Town -- wide-screen, mid-tempo rock and stories of the disillusionment of working-class life and the conflicts within families. In these songs, which include the title track, "Independence Day," and "Point Blank," Bruce Springsteen's world view is just as dire as it had become on Darkness, but less judgmental. "Independence Day," for example, is a father-and-son ballad that has little of the anger of its hard rock counterpart on Darkness, "Adam Raised a Cain." Springsteen's heroes again seek to overcome their crushing troubles through defiance and by driving around, and though "The River" repeats the soured love theme of "Racing in the Street," he also posits romance as a possible escape, sometimes combining it with one of the other solutions, as on the eight-plus-minute "Drive All Night." But there is also another album lurking within The River, and it is a more lighthearted pop/rock collection of short, sometimes humorous songs like "Sherry Darling" and "I'm a Rocker." At times Springsteen combines elements of the two, as on "Out in the Street," perhaps the album's quintessential song, a catchy, up-tempo number that sounds like something from the early '60s and echoes the theme of the Vogues' 1966 hit "Five O' Clock World." "Hungry Heart," which became Springsteen's first Top Ten hit, combines a rollicking musical track with a more sober lyrical theme that emphasizes longing over disappointment. But a better guide to Springsteen's development are the songs "Stolen Car" and the album-closing "Wreck on the Highway," gentle, moody ballads imbued with a sense of hopelessness that anticipate his next record, Nebraska.
