I guess I'm going to be bold here and say I actually really liked the intro and hated the rest.
The intro drums are very rave-ish actually.

Same here. I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't pointed out. I don't care at all how exact an artist is. There's an awful lot of very exact music out now that sells squillions and has precious little sincerity or imagination.
What the heck is up with the bass drum pattern? Those 16th notes sound completely flubbed, like someone tapped them in real time, didn't get the note spacing right and didn't bother to quantize them or something
I guess for me it comes down to context. Probably nobody cares less about perfection in music than me. I like it raw, warts and all.
But this album and its predecessor, Born In The USA, sound pretty polished overall. This wasn't like those early records with Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez, where they left all the imperfections in; this was Springsteen at the peak of his popularity playing music that otherwise sounds pretty polished.
I guess rather than saying that the imperfections bother me, I should have said they don't seem like they fit the whole paradigm of a recording like this. It's like that Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow tune I posted a similar comment about a few months ago.
