"Greatest Hits" worthy of the name & a grandiose new album in a

The 95er album "Greatest Hits" is absolutely typical and characteristic of Springsteen in many ways that can be understood in the meantime four decades an ongoing phenomenon "The Boss" solely on the basis of this plate.
He is straightforward, honest, direct, and are no longer present, as really is, and no less than it claims - all these not just in the songs, but also around it.

A period of 22 years has been Springsteen at the time of publication already a music artist with a penchant for endless world tours and delivered no later than regularly since 1975 songs from that hits were the seemingly everyone knows, no matter whether he particularly likes him or not. Nevertheless, this was his first Best of Album! No other artist in this top league so that even Bob Dylan or Neil Young could not be much time, not to mention Elton John and Rod Stewart all!

Springsteen does not think much of it constantly line up old songs like pearls on a chain and throw them in time for Christmas in the market. And there would be the second typical point because it was not even at Christmas, "Greatest Hits" was released in late February 1995th

The next feature is "Greatest Hits" is on it, and the greatest hits (Title 1-14) are actually on it. After over twenty years of incredibly successful career, one could stretch the whole thing convenient to double-album length, certainly without having to still make use of bad songs, but the biggest hits were now times this and there is at Springsteen just nothing in between cheating and subsequently declared a hit.

For fans but who already have all the albums anyway, the plate was ultimately therefore great because with "greates hits" almost exactly three years after the albums "Human Touch" and "Lucky Town" (both Release: 03/1992), at all finally a new album, even if only a half, appeared from the Boss.
Because the title 15-18 have been created specifically for this album, and with the E-Street Band, which was indeed leave on the last two works and the Tour'92 / '93, added. Taking Title 14, the great "Streets of Philadelphia" also the fact that while in 1994 appeared as a soundtrack single, but was included in any other Springsteen album to date, to get five new songs with more than 21 minutes of playing time, the " Greatest Hits "can be almost a regular studio album.

In any case, indispensable for each of the five songs Springsteen at his best is. "Streets of Philadelphia" stands for itself, everyone knows and is the reference song to rebut the assertion a good song must have complicated runs in the composition. Just the simplicity, transparency, give this number a fabulous size. For "Secret Garden" is considered the same. "Blood Brothers" is laid back into the game, is in the running dynamic and is a typical Springsteen storytelling song. Typically in the Zusammenhag is no less than brilliant. Likewise, "Hard Country", something raw, cracking, E-Street Band precisely.
The top piece with the new but "Murder Incorporated". In direct comparison, acts "Born in the USA" as a soft rock ballad. Springsteen yells to the vocal cords in the throat and allows a pounding band behind the rage unchecked freewheel - just great, one of the best Springsteen numbers of all time!

Conclusion: Best of buyers happy because they get 14 really big hits the Springsteen to 1995 perfectly represent. Fans also happy because they find not only a mandatory new song on the coupling, but five, moreover, above average even for Springsteen grandiose. So twice five stars!
