Possibly my second favourite Bruce album after TWTIATESS, which was when I got on the train.
The remaster for the box set of the first seven albums was transformative.
There are obvs lots of great moments in the Landau era, but a) there is too much shouting (Born in the USA, I'm looking at you) and b) too many of the quieter songs don't bother with having a tune.
Plus I hate the way he often puts unstressed syllables on strong beats.
TWTIATESS is one of the 10 greatest albums ever. Jon Landau may have made Bruce rich but he stifled him as a creative artist.

I am aware these are minority opinions....
