This vast, sprawling collection of Springsteen's best work only reinforces his status as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all-time, a peer of Dylan, Drake, Cohen, and company. These pretentious one-star reviews bemoaning his politics miss the point entirely, ignoring his wonderful, poetic, and (mostly) apolitical music to instead focus on what he does when he's not writing or performing. You're supposed to be writing a MUSIC review, not some irrational, right-wing political screed. Go home and listen to some senseless "American" drivel like Toby Keith or Darryl Worley; those guys between them don't have as much talent as Springsteen does in his right thumb.
