Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered edition. Nebraska is the sixth studio album by Bruce Springsteen. The album was released on September 30, 1982, by Columbia Records. Sparsely-recorded on a cassette-tape Portastudio, the tracks on Nebraska were originally intended as demos of songs to be recorded with the E Street Band. However, Springsteen ultimately decided to release the demos himself. Nebraska remains one of the most highly regarded albums in his catalogue. The songs on Nebraska both deal with ordinary, blue collar characters who face a challenge or a turning point in their lives, but also outsiders, criminals and mass murderers, who have little hope for the future - or no future at all, as in the title track, where the main character is sentenced to death in the electric chair. Unlike his previous albums, very little salvation and grace is present within the songs. The album's uncompromising sound and mood, combined with it's dark lyrical content has been described by a music critic as "one of the most challenging albums ever released by a major star on a major record label."

Nebraska -- Springsteen's solo masterwork

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024

Verified Purchase

Lo-fi, homemade and recorded classic that just happens to be Springsteen's best work outside the E Street Band. The unobtrusive production atmosphere serves to put the accent squarely on his heartfelt vocals and masterful storytelling. Calling Nebraska his masterwork is not out of order. Forty years down the road, it has held up incredibly well. Listen closely throughout and you're sure to find new reasons to believe. And after all these years, that's really saying something. The full five-out-of-five and recommended unreservedly.

Springsteen Voices Steinbeck's Alienation

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

In a shocking musical about-face, Springsteen breaks away from his E Street Band at all costs and takes everything upon himself. And, for once, his music doesn't bely the bleakness found in his words. It's utterly desolate in its sound, unified by guitar (mostly acoustic), harmonica and Springsteen's quieter vocals.

Lyrically, the influence I hear is John Steinbeck all the way and the literary quality in these folk songs is through Woody Guthrie. Springsteen's intellect is abetted by his commitment in understanding these characters who lead inescapable, disillusioned lives that incarcerate the body and soul.

On "Nebraska", Springsteen lets the characters talk. The title track is a stark murder ballad with a piercing account of why he (Charlie Starkweather) did what he did. More crime-based activity is present on "Atlantic City" and "Johny 99". The eeriness of the music encapsulates these lives in which everyone's existence is a black hole.

The remaining cuts describe decent people struggling to make it through the day and to keep up with the times, all set to a music long before its time. These adults desperately try to stay within the limits of the law but they almost yearn to relive those younger days when life was more carefree and anything was seemingly possible.

The music doesn't vary in tone much either. Even when the pace picks up on "Open All Night" and "Johny 99", the pessimism lurks underneath. So it can't be any accident that "Reason To Believe" closes the record. It's intelligently placed because it's about hard-fought stability. In it, the soul is triumphant over the strongest of adversity.

I value "Nebraska" for its humanity and history where the American Dream has eluded every character on this album. It works in spades because Springsteen sounds involved and unforced. He creates an articulate pipeline to a grim world.

Bruce As Raw As He Gets

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

This effort from Bruce Springsteen was in his rawest form. What originally was going to be a contender for material for Born In The USA ended up being released as a sparse solo effort by Bruce minus the E Street Band. The bulk of this material was recorded on the evening of January 3, 1982-reportedly. He originally recorded these songs on a Teac Portastudio 4-Track cassette machine while commencing the sessions of what became the latter album released in June of 1984 and spawned seven singles propelling him to superstardom. He reportedly carried the cassette around in his pocket for weeks(Without a case!) and played it to the rest of the band but then realized this was THE album. Problem was releasing it on vinyl would present massive hiss and distortion and would've been released only as a cassette but with the right crew he realized his dream of getting it to vinyl the same year CDs would become available to the market. All the songs would feature just Bruce accompanying himself on acoustic and harmonica to his lead vocal then would fill the available spaces of the multi-track recordings with either electric guitar, mandolin, percussion, synthesizer and background vocals. Opening with the titled track it takes off from here leading us to "Atlantic City"[The song that ushered him into the video age even if he didn't appear in it himself]. Most of these songs have a Woody Guthrie-type feel to them while some of them tinker with some gimmicktry and one or two of them have a rock and roll backbone to them["Open All Night" and "Reason To Believe"]. "State Trooper" has that sound influence of the band Suicide with the use of Echoplex on guitar and vocals. "Johnny 99" and "Highway Patrolman" were later covered by Johnny Cash. "Mansion On The Hill" is good not to mention later used in reference terms in the Traveling Wilburys' "Tweeter And The Monkey Man". "Used Cars" features some glockenspiel in the mix which Bruce may have borrowed off of Roy Bittan. "My Father's House" has a somber tone to it. This was as solo as Bruce got in the '80s but he wouldn't make a real solo album until The Ghost Of Tom Joad in 1995. It's great to have this album again as I previously had on vinyl but sounds just as great on CD. For the raw Bruce go here first before considering that later effort and you, too, will enjoy it.

I think this will be a wonderful gift for my husband at Christmas. I opened the outer box and loved the packaging. The inner box contains the album. I think he will want to play this album as soon as other Christmas gifs are opened.
