message: The History section contains original research. Analysis of the songs counts as original research.
In terms of the original LP's sequencing, Springsteen continued his "four corners" approach from Born to Run, as the songs beginning each side ("Badlands" and "The Promised Land") were martial rallying cries to overcome circumstances, while the songs ending each side ("Racing in the Street", "Darkness on the Edge of Town") were sad dirges of circumstances overcoming all hope.
and
This collection of songs, each of which Springsteen sang in the first person, was given unity by several recurring themes. The words “darkness” / “dark” appear in six of the tracks, while nine of them feature the “night” / “tonight”. “They” are mentioned in eight songs, with a general suggestion of nameless people who exert a negative influence. “Work” / “worked” / “working” form part of six songs, and so do the words “dream” / “dreams”. Six is also the number of songs in which Bruce and his characters are found “driving” / “racing” / “riding”, or mentioning the names of cars. There are references to “blood”, "born", "love" / "loved" in four of the tracks. In the song "Racing in the Street," Springsteen alludes to Martha & the Vandellas' Dancing in the Street with the lyric "Summer's here and the time is right for racing in the street," which is similar to the Rolling Stones similar appropration of the lyric in the song "Street Fightin' Man".
Of course, if you have actual cites for these claims, then add them.  Otherwise, delete the statements because they constitute WP:Original Research.

message: The Rolling Stone and AllMusic reviews were not saying the album was in the genre of rock & roll which is early style rock. It's nothing like that. And something that rocks hard or is hard rocking is not necessarily in the hard rock genre. It's just an energetic rock presentation. 
I will next list sources that say rock genre. Binksternet (talk) 00:34, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
