Customer Reviews

Not so much 'The Boss'...

I never understood the appeal of Bruce Sprinsteen, I just didn't get it. Engines, girls, broken engines, broken hearts, endless highways heading away from desperate American towns etc. Then I borrowed this album from a friend. He never got it back. I lent it to another friend and I never got it back. So based on the theory that an unreturned album = a great album, I bought it and it's never been lent out again. It's a wonderfully warm and human piece of work. You almost wish you were going through a rocky patch in a relationship, just so that you could listen to it in the same place it was written. I'm still not keen on the stadium filling, saxophone and chimes, growling fella the fans call The Boss, but I like this.

BRILLIANCE UNMASKED

After his remarkable commercial success in 1984 with the legendary, gargantuan, masterpiece 'Born in the USA' Bruce springsteen had a large mountain of expectations and pressure to climb in an attempt to replicate his most popular album. So in 1987 when he released in my opinion one of his finest pieces entitled 'Tunnel of love' it wasn't what the masses quite expected. This is not an album created for the stadium rock destinations of 'Born to run' or 'Born in the USA' neither is its purpose to tackle larger political values or create narratives of teenage angst, it is simply an album about love (gained and lost) and relationships whether the emotion be linked to relatives or lovers. Tracks such as 'tougher than the rest' and 'all that heaven will allow' portray tales of last chance lovers and the blish at the beginning of a new relationship. The autobiographical piece 'walk like a man' details Springsteens relationship with his father and the exceptional 'brilliant disguise' perfectly sums up the suspicious tendencies that can arise from within relationships. Unlike 'Born in USA' this album is not an all out in your face masterpiece it is delivered with a much smoother velocity and portrays a lot of his personal life and feelings at the time. In reference to 'tunnel of love' Springsteen said that he didn't right well about one on one relationships untill 1987 but this album was well worth the delay because when he finally did he acheived a unique perfection on this album that only an artist of his calibre could achieve.

Listen and relate.

One of the most under-rated works of Bruce's career. An album of love and it's many mystreries - of wanting it, finding it and of letting it slip away.... While many find it hard to relate themselves to Springsteen's more political works, everyone everywhere can relate to those helpless feeling of love and that's why for me this is Bruce's most personal album. One that show's that despite him being the boss - when it comes to matters of the heart he's just as confused as the rest of us!
