I had never heard any songs from this album, at least I don't remember. I had heard Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town before and couple of other songs. I think this isn't as good as "Born to Run" but it is better than "Darkness...". "Brilliant Disguise" might be the best song I have heard from Bruce. "Tougher Than the Rest" has been covered by a country artist Emmylou Harris and her version is very good too.
My least favorite song is "Valentine's Day" and my favorite songs are 1) Brilliant Disguise 2) Spare Parts 3) Tougher Than the Rest
1. Ain't Got You 4
2. Tougher Than the Rest 4½
3. All That Heaven Will Allow 3½
4. Spare Parts 4½
5. Cautious Man 3½
6. Walk Like a Man 4
7. Tunnel of Love 4½
8. Two Faces 4
9. Brilliant Disguise 5
10. One Step Up 4
11. When You're Alone 4
12. Valentine's Day 3½
I give it 4 stars. The album sound very personal.

I feared you'd like this less, so I'm happy for you!  Ultimate Classic Rock ranked this one as the best Springsteen album, so it's naturally a very interesting listening experience. My review will come soon! |

My review will come soon! I think this album is quite different from "Born to Run" which was more rocking. This is very emotional and sounds like it would be about serious relationships, his marriage, perhaps. "Born to Run" and "Darkness..." were the two album which Soundi chose for their list of TOP 100 albums of all time. |

Okay, Springsteen is one of my absolute favorite artists, and it's time to give my opinion on this album!
I haven't liked this album that much previously, I thought it's okay, didn't like the opening track much and always felt the title track is a little weird.
But there are really many highlights on this album, which you can see below:
1. Ain't Got You ***½
2. Tougher Than The Rest *****
3. All That Heaven Will Allow *****
4. Spare Parts ****½
5. Cautious Man *****
6. Walk Like A Man *****
7. Tunnel Of Love ****½
8. Two Faces ****½
9. Brilliant Disguise *****
10. One Step Up *****
11. When You're Alone *****
12. Valentine's Day *****
Album overall rating: *****
I guess my top three for this album would be: 1) "Brilliant Disguise" 2) "Walk Like A Man" 3) "Tougher Than The Rest".
