Well, Bruce Springsteen recorded one of his albums in the living room
of his home on a four track cassette recorder.  (I think it was "The
River", but don't quote me on that.)

You know what?  The whole album sounds like it was recorded in the
living room of his home on a four track cassette recorder.
Can you say "lousy dynamic range"?  Can you say "tape hiss"?
Can you say "It sounds like he's singing into a toilet bowl"?
I thought you could.

It was one of his less impressive works. (Not that ANY of his recent works
could be labelled "impressive".  I like the "Old" Boss.)

(Donning my asbestos suit just in case.)
