Springsteen'beds choice is certainly brilliant. Performing in the words of a dark man who is definitely railing eloquently about the politics oppression shutting in on him, leaving him 'caught', Springsteen offers an thrilling efficiency of a significant melody.'17

The melody's narrator can be the one who's 'putting on the same old chains,' rather than a faceless mass - he't channeling one person rather of millions, which is definitely what makes many of the recording devoid of character.'19
