Bruce Springsteen - Darkness On the Edge of Town Album

The Darkness on the Edge of Town album reflects Springsteen forced to the brink by a bad recording contract, but fighting back to make his own angry stand in the face of adversity. Betrayal and fruitless hard work are the main topics on his mind here, as evidenced by songs such as "Adam Raised a Cain," "Factory," and "Streets of Fire." Elsewhere, there are signals of hope or at least the possibility of overcoming your problems ("Racing in the Street," "The Promised Land," "Prove It All Night"). Springsteen needed to exorcise some demons on the disc and he did so brilliantly.
