I love big sounding productions, but the production on Born in the USA sounds really obnoxious to me... the drums in particular sound really shitty.

There's a drum solo at the end of the title track of Born in the USA that would sound great if it wasn't smothered in too much reverb.

The so-called (Bruce) album collection that came out a couple/few years ago is really tastefully remastered imo. the drums sound WAY less cardboard box-y, and in fact great

Graceland was robbed
Springsteen fans are so weird. I feel like I understand his appeal but it's just not for me at all.

I have a (probably entirely unfounded) suspicion that you have to be from the east coast to dig him. I don't know any native Californians that give a fuck about him for ex.

For me, this goes:
Brothers in Arms > Graceland > Born in the USA
I prefer The Rhythm of the Saints over Graceland, to be honest.
