Japanese limited edition reissue in a deluxe LP sleeve replica of the original album artwork.

This was the album after the famous Jon Landau statement came to pass, and although there are still many references to cars and girls it is a blistering album. It has a similar energy that was later to be found on The River. He states in 'Something In The Night', 'soon as you've got something they send someone to try and take it away'. He repeated the themes again and again, and we loved it; maybe his fall from grace is because we ultimately can get by with just one song about cars and girls.

Japan pressing. Limited edition reissue of 1978 original release comes packaged in a paper sleeve. CBS. 2005.

CD comes in Jpn LP Sleeve.

Recorded at The Record Plant, New York, New York.

Personnel: Bruce Springsteen (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Steve Van Zandt (guitar); Clarence Clemons (saxophone); Roy Bittan (piano); Danny Federici (organ); Garry Tallent (bass); Max Weinberg (drums).

Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.131) - Ranked #151 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "Springsteen and the E Street Band played rockers such as 'Badlands' and 'Promised Land' with barely contained passion."
Rolling Stone (3/20/03, p.68) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...The album isn't punk--Springsteen got a shave, not a mohawk--but it's colored by the raw sound happening at the time....stands as the E Street's best..."
Q (Magazine) (p.120) - "Lean, wired and reeking of frustration....[The album] sounded like the work of a man on the edge."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Many of THE PROMISE's 21 tracks are R&B stompers and soul croons....This version promises enlightenment -- and delivers on a truly remarkable scale."

5 stars my favourite one
in the same way as Born to run is the most spectacular and vibrant example of rock album, Darkness shows the introspective Bruce, full of anger and disillusioned. This is my really favourite album of the boss, just listen to Badlands, Adam raised a Cain, Factory and you will agree, this is an absolute masterpiece, it made me think a lot.

4 stars Darkness Shines!
As this has long been one of my favorite albums, as much for the sparse sound of the overall production, I have long looked forward to a remastered version of this 25 year old release. I was curious to hear two things basically: The back up vocals and and the rythum and percussion. When this came out Bruce was quoted as saying that he "oversand and underplayed." He also said that his goal on his previous album, Born to Run was to, among other things, sing like Roy Oberson." To me, he accomplishes that task on Darkness on the Edge of Town. To hear the back up vocals on this cleaned up release is like knocking open the windows and letting the brease come in. In particular, I enjoyed Racing in the Street, The Promised Land and the title track.

5 stars Even better live
This is one of the great albums of alltime and if you've had the pleasure to hear these songs live -- either in person or on the Live 75-85 collection -- they are even better. More passion, a little quicker pace and the heart of any Springsteen show. Either way, incredibly deep lyrics, energy and anger.
