Tracks [Box] by Bruce Springsteen

Pros: Over 4 hrs of Bruce

Cons: some weak solo material

Review: Some artist have the ability to write about anything. Some artist have the ability to make their music seem like real life stories. Then there are some who have the ability to do both. Throughout his career, Springsteen has been the poet of the middle...

Pros: More Bruce can never be a bad thing.

Cons: At 4 CDs, it's not cheap.

Review: There were probably a lot of reasons why these songs weren't included on the albums they were originally recorded for. Some might not have fit the mood of the overall release, some of the performances might not have been deemed "definitive" by...

Pros: Anything Springsteen is a 'Pro'

Cons: Not for the novice fan

Review: Well I'll admit I am a Bruce Springsteen fan(atic). I have all of his released material. I buy each new release the day it comes out. And well... I love all of his music... some a little more than others.

So I may be a little prejudiced,...

Pros: all four discs all filled with previously unreleased material. Some of the boss's best work

Cons: some of the 4th disc is weak material. but still better than today's music

The Bottom Line: I would absolutely recommend this album to any and all music fans. This collection of previously un-released material shows just how brilliant The BOSS is.

Review: Bruce Springsteen is truly one of the greatest artists of rock and roll and this box set only shows this more. Springsteen writes three songs for every one that he puts on an album. And on "tracks", Springsteen clearly displays his prowess as a...

Pros: its awesome. enough said.

Cons: he needs bigger jeans

Review: This collection of Bruce's work is a keeper of Bruce Springsteen fans. Anybody who just loves down to earth American music should get this great collection. Tracks, consisting of 4 cds will leave you satisfied for some time. It ranges from some of...

Pros: Great Previously Unreleased Material

Cons: Cost

Review: For Springsteen fans worldwide, Tracks is what we have been waiting for. This 4-cd boxset is a compilation of previously unreleased songs and studio outtakes of some of Bruce's best. Tracks is released just in time for Springsteen to hit the road with...

Pros: Facinating glimpse at artists development, long time concert favorites finally available to the public, there's enough here to keep even the most die hard fans busy for months, enclosed booklet is a treat

Cons: production is sketchy ranging from homemade demo quality to studio production, some songs should have remained rejects,

Review: For years a black market has existed for Springsteen bootlegs of which many where the famous marathon concert shows that he has become famous for, but more interestingly a great deal of these “boots” where made up of outtakes from one of Bruce’s official...

Pros: great material of the 70's and 80's

Cons: the early 90's songs

Review: For more than ten years, I've been waiting for Mr. Springsteen to release a record like that. I love his music and his cinematic lyrics but once I heard "My love will not let you down" on a bootleg and from that day on I wanted to have this...

Pros: Great sound quality, many "new" songs even for the collectors

Cons: A few obvious omissions, could also have been an extra CD or two (!)

Review: At last Bruce Springsteen came around to release a bunch of his famous outtakes. At first rumoured to be a 6-disc set, but finally cut down to 4. A lot of his arguably best songs are on this set, and there are also many songs not previously circulated on...

Pros: Four fistfulls of Bruce, much of which you've never heard

Cons: Four times the price

Review: I can't think of a single release in the fall of 1998 that got me as excited as this one. Imagine it: a big Springsteen fan like myself having 66 "new" tracks dumped on my lap (after dumping a hefty 80 dollars down for it). Admittedly, the...
