Jim wrote rock opera. Some of it very good, and some of it not so good. RIP. Springsteen did it too with Born To Run, though Springsteen aficionados hate to admit that.

Springsteen was smart enough to tone down the rock opera content in future albums...IMO that rock opera sound is limited.

Ditto to everything you said. Born to Run was great - but nobody really wanted to hear Born to Run 2 (Born 2 Run?).
