Why is "Nebraska" great and this not? Both albums have great stories. The difference is that you can sing the songs on "Nebraska", in fact that album has some great melodies. I challenge anyone to hum the tune to "Galveston Bay" of Baloba Park" right now. Stories are great, but they are only a part of songwriting. That's why Flannery O'Connor is known as a great short story writer and not a songwriter. Why does Springsteen not know this? "The New Timer" is simply wretched with a vocal performance that is so close to self parody that it would fit nicely on a Saturday Night Live skit.The title track and "Youngstown" are good, (the latter is actually much better as a rocker as released on "LIve in NYC") but they really only stand out because they have discernable melodies.
