Greetings From/Wild Innocent/Darkness collects Bruce Springsteen's first two albums (Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ and The Wild, The Innocent & the E Street Shuffle) and his fourth (Darkness on the Edge of Town) in a three-disc set. Though the fact that the collection skips over Born to Run is somewhat strange, the power of the three albums that are compiled is undeniable. Moving from the exuberance of Greetings' "Blinded By the Light" and "Growin' Up," the dazzling brilliance of The Wild, the Innocent's "Incident on 57th Street" and "Rosalita, Come Out Tonight," and the principled, uncompromising rock of Darkness' "Badlands" and "Adam Raised a Cain," this set is worthwhile for any Springsteen fan, or rock fan in general, who doesn't already own these albums. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
