The stories told are telling that Springsteen is my generations Dylan. a couple of the songs like Highway Patrolman are hard to listen to over and over but this was a great prelude to the later acoustic sets.

It's 2am and I'm sitting here in the dark listening to this forgotten gem. I stumbled on this in my iTunes after not hearing it for many years and it's even more moving than the first time I heard it in the 1980's when I was a dumb kid. Springsteen may be known for his "All American" shows and party rock songs, but this album shows a side of him that no one saw coming. Grab you a bottle of anything, put the headphones on, turn the lights off and let it encapsulate you. One of the 10 greatest albums of all time by anyone. Ever.

I'm a newer Bruce fan but as I started buying all the albums, this one was the toughest to initially get into. But I let it play all the way through a few times and realized what a great piece of music this record is. It can be sad but it's REAL LIFE! "Used Cars" and "My Father's House" are heartbreaking but remind me of things in my life as a kid. Bruce is truly a legend and "Nebraska" is a great piece of his catalog.

I listen to death metal and gangsta rap, so people are surprised when I tell them "Atlantic City," off this album is my favorite song ever. It is the best song ever made.

I bought this album when I was in 8th grade and it's haunted me ever since. I listen to it every night when I fall asleep. I'm not lying. The outtakes are even better. Go listen to Losin Kind and Child Bride on You Tube. Best album ever in my mind.

This is far and away the best Springsteen album ever made. A dark, brooding, soundtrack for a desolate American landscape. This album should be in every singer/songwriter's collection as an example of how it's done.

this album is amazing, so melancholy but beautiful at the same time.

Nebraska has always been one of my favorites!! It’s a dark and haunting view of America in the 1980’s! Through these dark times Springsteen is able to reflect and give us a Masterpiece! This album ends with a ray of hope and we can all find a Reason To Believe!!!

I wouldn't even call myself a Springsteen fan, but this is one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. It is just so simple, haunting, and beautiful.

This album is so haunting! It literally goes me chills everytime I listen to it! My favorite song is my fathers house It's so raw and melancholy and if I close my eyes A clear picture of what he's singing passes through my mind! One of the top 10 greatest albums ever!!

I remember buying this album on cassette because I liked the first single, Open All Night, which was sparse, but still had lots of energy. Popped the cassette in my dashboard player and was immediately bummed out. It took me YEARS to really appreciate this record from a story-telling perspective. Musically, it's still a bit dull, but the lyrics are very compelling. … I recommend The Band's version of Atlantic City – stellar.

Simply, one of the best albums I've ever had the pleasure of listening to, a must have. So raw and real, thank you.

the boss at his best all songs are excellent.

Of all the hours and hours and hours of music he has released, I only like 41 minutes of his music. And this is it.

I have always been a Bruce Springsteen fan, but this album really drew me in to his lyricism, poetry, and beautiful symbolism. This is American music at it's finest. Haunting, original, and raw, this album personifies Bruce as a writer. This is my favorite album.

I'd grown up in the eighties, knew Bruce from music videos and the radio, he was ok, not so much my thing.. few years back I picked this cd up, fell in love, fell real hard... Springsteen is up there with the all time greats.

Gritty. Honest. Melancholy. Perfect.

This is my favorite album of all times every song hits deep this is a emotional roller coasters..❤️❤️❤️

Can't stop listening to highway patrolman. Reminds me of my brother. Haunting but beautiful at the same time.

Nebraska represents Bruce Springsteen at his most eerie and raw best, and another example of why he might be America's Great Artist before he's through. These songs are no filter, sparse arrangements with haunting vocals depicting the most desperate stories and circumstances. This album is not a "singles" collection and one should listen to this in one sitting, preferably at night, on headphones if possible. There's so much going on musically and lyrically in these songs it's hard to take in unless you can give some attention to it without interruption. Springsteen's vocals sound distant sonically, like you are eavesdropping on a strange neighbor talking to himself about his life. This is one of Springsteen's finest and most unpredictable outings and could be a template for young musicians looking for inspiration. Sometimes, indeed, less is more. If you want to rock out to Springsteen, put on "Born in the U.S.A." or "Born To Run". If you want a more intimate showcase for The Boss, this is it. "Nebraska" is a quiet, understated masterpiece.

Best album. Most introspective.

Agree with most reviews, this is one of the must have albums of AMERICAN MUSIC. Period. For a simple demo reel recorded at home, it sure sounds intimate on a good stereo. Some of the best singing and conveying of emotion in recorded music history, those Jersey boys...Sinatra and Springsteen sure can convey human emotion. Atlantic City is the adult version of Thunder Road and just when the darkness wants to be to much, he closes with a Reason to Believe. Both of these tunes would be re-imagined over the years in concert to great effect..showing their power and greatness years later. This is an album to listen to in the dark, just like Sinatra's Only the Lonely a generation before.

Bruce Springsteen's 1982 album NEBRASKA is very unique because it exceeds all expectations. When I first heard about it and saw the track listing, I thought it was just a collection of average songs such as 'Nebraska' just being a song about the state, but when I finally listened to the song, I was surprised because it's actually a story of a Nebraska serial killer (Charles Starkweather) told in first-person. The entire album has a variety of songs with different moods. Such as 'Nebraska' and 'State Trooper' being very dark and surreal, as well as upbeat songs such as 'Atlantic City' and 'Open All Night'. The fact that it's all acoustic and recorded by himself in a room just makes it all the more unique. One of Springsteen's best. If your a fan, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

This album is only for the people who can relate music to real life.. It is chilling, haunting, and oh so real. "reason to believe" can give anyone an inspiration,"Nebraska" will make your neck hairs rise,and "johnny 99" is a song that could be re-made by any metal band with the courage...this whole album puts you in touch with the dark , but truthful side of life. an inspirational classic,for all walks of life.

When I started listening to the Boss and now almost 40 years later and listening on SXM RADIO, just can believe his song writing and theatrical making you feel the song in your thoughts. This music is part of human life with life’s ups and downs, will always be a Bruce Springsteen fan!

One of his best.

I consider this album a masterpiece -- a collection of songs dealing with individuals struggling with isolation or alienation in various forms. Powerless individuals struggling against situations and obstacles they can not overcome. While most people will point to "Johnny 99" as the shining star of the album, I recommend a few listens to "Reason to Believe."

The starkness of the ablum cover says all we need to know. Leave all of your pre conceived notions of a Springsteen album behind. There's a storm gathering on the planes and we're heading into it. It's probably my favorite Springsteen ablum because it completely stands on its own. It doesn't remind of us anything that came before it or after it. A brilliantly captured time capsule of demos whose unfinished, raw, somber tone places it amongst the best albums by an American artist that haunts the hallways of American Gothic music. The musical companion to Capote's "In Cold Blood" and a wonderful bookend to John Mellencamp's equally sentient "Scarecrow" that followed 2 years later.

For a star this big, who's already reached the peak, to set aside stardom for his integrity is astounding in America. His finger is on the pulse of our country, not on the charts, his pocketbook or opinions. For those who don't understand this album, count your lucky stars that life has not dealt you something sufficient enough to open your eyes. Not yet, anyway. Life is all about grit, no matter how thick a layer of gloss you are able to pile on top to conceal it.

One of the most Heartfelt album of all time in American music history.... takes you to the very root/fabric of American people and history... makes you feel so proud to be born and raised in America the most freest country in the world!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

There is just something about this album I cannot put my finger on. It comes from a dark place and sounds like it was recorded somewhere in the middle of nowhere during the middle of the night. The music here just brings me to a place that music has never taken me to before. I believe that this is Mr. Springsteen's crowning achievement and that everyone should own this album.

Twenty seven years later, and it is still Bruce's best work. I remember when it was released, I was blown away. First by the album itself, then by the negative reaction from people who at the time just didn't get it. They couldn't get past the departure from the big E Street Band sound. I'm glad to see so many reviews of this album appreciate the raw unfiltered nature of this album. Even though it was initially recorded as "demo" material for a later release with the E Street Band. If it had been released any other way it wouldn't have had the same impact. You can't go wrong with this one.

Easily the finest masterwork in the Springsteen canon. DO NOT MERELY DOWNLOAD THIS ALBUM. iTunes plus may be better than the regular garbage mp3s they are foisting on you, but not even close to the sonic quality of the actual vinyl (if you can find it) or the CD. So go buy the CD, and then rip them yourself if you must listen on your iPod. But make sure to use the highest setting possible, 320kbps, to retain as much of this sonic masterpiece possible.

Raw, real, and beautiful. There is not a single untrue word in this album. It's like nothing else out there.

Atlantic City is a great song. I've listened to this song over and over. Bruce really told the story about a deteriorating resort area that converted to legalized gambling and the future problems for the town.

This is the best album by Bruce Springsteen and maybe the best album to come out in the 80s. Story songs and Bruce reveals his inner songs. Songs about the underbelly of America. I love the sparness of the album. They may have only been demos but I am so glad it was released this way. I grew to love Bruce after this song. I tried to get into him before this but never did. Now I conside him as one of the best singer songwriter and band leader. This is the one I come back to. Uncle Joe's Tunz! Uncle Joe's Tunz!

To me this is one of the top ten records of all time. Simple and haunting, just a man, his thoughts, and his guitar.

In 1982, I had heard some (little) Springsteen music. I knew Hungry Heart, Born to Run, and was more familiar that he had written Blinded by the Light, Fire, and Because the Night. A friend gave me BTR (album), I bought Greetings at a flea market and started reading up on this rocker come Guthrie via Dylan and Memphis Soul. Then in October, Nebraska. No band, no bluster - just a guitar, a harmonica, and a voice. Stark, raw emotion. It was America in 1982...bleak, in recession, absent of the phony light metal pop you heard on the radio. This album led to the two strands of Springsteen's career: anthemic heartland messages blended with intimate portraits. Whether it's Atlantic City, Mansion on the Hill, State Trooper, or Open All Night..you will find the heart of Springsteen's work on this album.

This is one the best albums ever put out by any artist. Raw, honest and beautiful. If you like Bruce and don't have this one drop the six bucks or whatever bargain basement price itunes is charging for this. Truly an incredible collection.

Best album ever!

True Springsteen fans will love it, but I can't imagine anybody BUT his true fans liking it.

Pure Americana. One of the best albums i've ever heard. It truly conveys American life in a way that is more heartfelt and real then most would like to admit. Springsteen's best.

This is Springsteen at his absolute best!

The whole thing is incredibly pointless and boring

There is no way to describe this album fully, you just have to listen to it yourself. It is a acoustic album telling the hardships and story's of American people, whether it be a murdurer or a groom alone at the alter. That is what Bruce Springsteen is all about, one of his best albums "Nebraska", is chilling, yet gripping. You can't stop listening no matter dark it is. To really understand Bruce, you need to get this album and listen to it in it's entireity. You really need to pay attention to to the lyrics to understand. This album is prefect for a boring car ride, just listen and let Springsteen's lyrics fill your imagination with a new world of thought.

Nebraska stands out among Bruce Springsteen albums for its refusal to follow the rules. Recorded in Bruce’s bedroom and released as it is, the album practically defines the Lo-Fi movement, and represented a risky move coming on the heels of The River, his most commercial and high selling album to date at that point. Most importantly, Nebraska is songwriting of the highest caliber: it solidified Springsteen‘s reputation for sophisticated and introspective lyrics, delving into the darkness the heart of what he has called “American isolation.”

You have to be in the mood for this kind of music. Dirge-like but original, you will not be happily dancing around to this album.

I absolutely love this album. I can listen to "Johnny 99", "Nebraska", and "Reason to Believe" nonstop. This album isn't as recognized as some of Bruce's others, but it deserves recognition and praise. Definitely buy this!

Atlantic City is awesome but the rest STINKS

Such a great album, when performed live the songs sound completely different in their own magical way. This acoustic album is everything 🙌🙌

One of Bruce’s best. Highlights are Open all night and Atlantic City.

Often bleak but always brilliant. Sometimes whimsical but always powerful. The essence of Bruce Springsteen when taken out of New Jersey and stripped of rock and roll. As an artist, his best piece.

Stories of desperate people in bad situations. Springsteen tells the stories of characters walking on both sides of the law. Highlights "Highway Patrolman," "Atlantic City," and "Nebraska". This is a album you should listen to in your car, alone driving home at 3am on a winters morning.

Probably his only album which the album versions of the songs are more powerful than the live ones.

Personally, this is my favourite Springsteen album. It’s cold, bleak, folk music, reminiscent of Dylans. Bringing it all Back Home. Springsteen’s later albums tended towards overproduced pop music; this is the antithesis of that. Most of the songs are raw and rely on voice and lyrics to get through. Great album, even after all these years.

Undiluted, unbowed, uncompromising. A window on the American heartland, a triumph. Springsteen sets a high mark here, it's not been bettered.

The best writer there is just when he got massive this was released simple and bare but songs others would love to have written

A bleak and haunting album but very inspiring and addictive to listen to. Springsteen's best work. It's got raw energy and an edgy sound.

This is the real deal,Ed Sheehan can only dream of writing class like this.stripped back Bruce is way better than that ginger goblin:)

This is a powerful album. Please don't buy it.
