I know many of you diehard Bruce fans rate this album high but.............. I think at this point in his career he was lacking musical direction. This album shows. Sure, it includes the classic "roseletta" but that's about it. He tries to jazz, tries to be like Dylan. Some of the lyrics are bad too. If you're a diehard buy it, but if you are a newbee to Bruce get "born to run" or "darkness at the edge of town".
