hard to explain,

This review is from: Human Touch (Audio CD)
Having spent the last 30 years being a fan of Springsteen, in all of his various projects, I have returned to this album to see if my initial response was too harsh. Sadly, my first thoughts still hold true today.
Although there are a couple of good tracks (Human Touch, I Wish I Was Blind), there are too many songs that sound like filler, and the two worst tracks of his entire career (57 Channels, Real Man). In fact, Real Man would be the worst song of anyone's career. Strangely released on the same day as the massively superior Lucky Town, this album has the dubious distinction of being the worst album the great man has ever put his name to. This was the happiest he had ever been in his personal life; it seems strange that the greatest lyricist ever, couldn't find the words to express this. The musicianship is so plodding and uninspired, it is hard to understand why the E Street Band were twiddling their thumbs at home, whilst session rubbish like these guys were being used. Maybe with the E Street Band, they could have saved some of the average songs, and made them better......and told him to bin the rest!! The lowest point of an absolute legends career, which has thankfully been forgotten, as he is now re-united with The E Street Band.

Mid Career Crisis?,

This review is from: Human Touch (Audio CD)
This album was released at the beginning of 1992 on the same day as the album Lucky TownLucky Town and over 4 years after its predecessor Tunnel of Love. The story is that Springsteen felt the album was incomplete so returned to the studio and very quickly had recorded enough songs for another album which became Lucky Town.
This is one of his most eclectic records mixing the anthemic rock of Gloria`s Eyes, The Long Goodbye and the title track with the slick soul of Real World, Man`s Job and Soul Driver. A sprinkling of heartfelt ballads, Cross My Heart, With Every Wish and I Wish I Were Blind. This is not one of Springsteens best albums but it is far from his worst.

Enjoyable but patchy outing for The Boss,
By A Customer
This review is from: Human Touch (Audio CD)
Human Touch has five great songs, the title track (my favourite Springsteen song), Soul Driver, With Every Wish, All Or Nothing At All and I Wish I Was Blind plus quite a few good ones. The main problem, barring a few scraps of filler, is that it sounds more like a collection of songs thrown together than a whole album - the beautiful, wistful ballad With Every Wish is ruined by immediately going into the raucous rock of Roll Of The Dice. Human Touch is ultimately a poor relative of its sister record Lucky Town, one of Springsteen's best albums that was released on the same day. Ironic, because it was supposed to be the other way round.
