  Rocking Beyond Estreet
Review created: 03/06/08

When one considers the cohesiveness and magical moments Springsteen has been able to orcestrate with his E Street Band backing him up, you can't help but wonder why he would feel the need to venture beyond that. Sure he had put out the completely solo acoustic Nebraska album a few years before this one, but here he is back rocking in true "Boss" style, albeit without his familiar back up band. Not surprisingly he pulls it off amazingly and the listener doesn't take very long to totally forget this isn't Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, it is just the Boss on his own. An excellent album that doesn't let the listener down at all.

  GROWIN' UP SPRINGSTEEN X: "halfway to heaven and a mile out of hell"
Review created: 03/08/07

Pros:
It's okay.

Cons:
It's... it's okay.

It's fascinating to think that the last Bruce Springsteen album I reviewed in this series, Human Touch, was released on the same day as Lucky Town. In my review of that album, linked above for posterity, reference, and a few superfluous hits, I touted Human Touch as Bruce Springsteen's Worst Album; that's not exactly a revelation, considering that it is, literally, impossible not to share that opinion with me. The funny thing is that, without Human Touch - an overlong, lugubrious, depressing chore of an album - Lucky Town would be considered the Worst Springsteen Album. It's not *bad* - not...

Pros:
Great lyrics and musically well done

Cons:
Two songs that are out of place

Springsteen has never been an artist to stand pat on his past achievements. He has always been searching for a different way to make his music. A different approach to getting his message out. So, in 1992, Bruce decided to part with the E Street Band and try a different path with his next release. He has said that he wanted to get some different views on how to make music. He felt that he had was getting stagnant and needed some fresh input. So what was the result? Not one, but two albums released on the same day! This one and the darker and more brooding album titled "Human Touch." I look at.

Pros:
truely inspiring, deep

Cons:
Not Springsteen's best record

Of Springsteen twin '92 releases "Human Touch" and "Lucky Town", this is the better of the two. Grittier, more inspired, and better musically, it's a powerful story of coming through the storm of heartbreak and turmiol, and trying to enjoy the peace found on the other side. The standout tracks, "Better Days," "Lucky Town," "Leap of Faith," and "Living Proof" are powerful rock songs, filled with pain, tears, redemption, joy, and a kick ass mesh of distorted guitars. It cuts deep and rings true. "Lucky Town" is not Bruce Springsteen's best record, and of his 3 "relationship albums" "Tunnel of...
