The double album "The River", split evenly between big house party numbers (and a wealth of live tracks) and darker, real-life stories in the vein of the title track, represents a Springsteen keen to explore the emerging dualities of his music.
With this album, Springsteen reached the top of the US album charts for the first time, in England it reached number 2, and Rolling Stone placed it at number 86 of the 100 best albums of the 80s.
