I have only listened to it once, so I'm not familiar with the songs yet to know if I like it or not. The great thing about e bay purchases, the CDs are so affordable you can take a chance on a CD you otherwise might not buy.

Darkness On The Edge Of Town is one of my fave Bruce albums so I bought this 2 disc set with high expectations. After 2 listens all I can say about the Promise is that it is an ok release. There's a reason these songs weren't included on Darkness. For my taste there are too many slow songs and not near enough rockers.

If you are a fan of The Boss, this is the great lost Springsteen album you've always hoped existed. These tracks are studio outtakes during the Darkness At the Edge of Town period. These tracks probably would have been released as the official Springsteen album between Born to Run and Darkness. Due to contractual snags (don't you just love the corporate contributions to the recording arts?), Springsteen and gang apparently camped out in the studio for some length of time recording song after song after song. Similar to the 4 CD Tracks compilation, The Promise shows that the Boss was not only as prolific as he is proficient but almost always interesting. Check it out if you are a Springsteen fan (and, if you are not, go back to playing with your Justin Bieber doll). Springsteen Rules!Read full review
This is an under rated CD. Great tunes from Bruce. Any Bruce fan would love it.

I love everything about it, it is a Bruce Springsteen that went unknown for so long that was just destined to be released. The music, the lyrics, the continuity of the tracks are second to none and make The Promise one Bruce Springsteen's best releases over his long and distiguished career.
THIS IS A GREAT CD, COMPLETE WITH SONGS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CLASSICS, IF THEY WERE PUBLISED BACK IN THE 70's !! SO IF YOU LIKE BRUCE, THE BEACH BRUCE, NOT WHINNING LIBERAL BRUCE, YOU'LL ENJOY THIS CD, CAUSE IT TAKES YOU RIGHT BACK TO WHERE I JUST CAME HOME FROM, THE JERSEY SHORE !!
I purchased this because it is his latest release...I love "The Boss" and all his music. I recommend it for all those fans who have remained faithful and followed him throughout his career. The price requested was very fair. The quality of the CDs are excellent!
This is one of the best Springsteen's album. If you are or not a Springsteen's fan, I think you've to buy. The songs are fantastics. The music is fantastic. A BIG album!!!!
I bought this for my wife as part of her Valentine's Day present. She loves it. We've seen him three times in concert and he just gets better with age.
This is an excellent collection of previously unreleased Bruce Springsteen songs. Well worth purchasing if you are a true fan.
