Critic Reviews
Show All-
Consequence of Sound
the E Street band's most visceral and eclectic offering, and it's no coincidence that the LP coincides with the band’s high water marks of spontaneity and heterogeneity

The songs are longer, more ambitious and more romantic; and yet, wonderfully, they lose little of Greetings’ rollicking rush.
