A road movie as a radio play, a great American novel in a few words told - "Nebraska" is very great art Only the last song "Reason to Believe" is Springsteen typical, all other songs are musically barren as the landscapes he sings! and as simple knit, like the characters whose stories he tells. Killers who feel no remorse for their actions. Men who go to their debt basis. Unemployed people who lose their heads. Stranded, Depressive, losers. Some are a sympathetic, others are just there. Here everything comes together, what does not work in the US. A deep black and thoughtful album. A storm, with a beam of light at the end.
If you like only the super-Americans Springsteen with his great hymns, will be able to do much with this album. Possibly this handset should treat yourself to only "Darkness on the Edge of Town", which is musically quite in the middle between "Born in the USA" and "Nebraska". "The ghoast of Tom Joad" from 1995 is a kind of sequel to "Nebraska", not as grand as this album here, but also worth hearing. Playing tips: Atlantic City, Johnny 99, State Trooper
