Editorial Review:
After several years at the top of the rock world, Springsteen pulled back the reins on Tunnel of Love--a lot, not just a little. Members of the E Street Band played on the album but seldom in full-band arrangements. Then, too, there are the deeply conflicted songs--"Brilliant Disguise," "Two Faces," "Tunnel of Love," "One Step Up"--that may have been written in response to the imminent failure of his first marriage. There's more to the album than divorce-court play-by-play, however. There's also the raw rocker "Spare Parts," the sprightly "All That Heaven Will Allow," and the bold declaration "Tougher Than the Rest." Overall, these are some of his most thoughtful songs and most intimate performances. --Daniel Durchholz

Rating:  - A Trip Through The Successes And Failures Of Love
After making numerous albums of songs chronicling the struggles of the working class, Bruce Springsteen turned inward on TUNNEL OF LOVE, describing how men and women fall in love and then lose their belief in it after a while. Several songs here could be seen as a discussion of the imminent failure of his first marriage, but this is not just a divorce album, as several songs deal with the happier side of romance, and the hard rocker "Spare Parts", which sounds like the Outlaws in some ways, is also ...

Rating: - Will move you to tears
This is an album, for anyone who saw love as it was dramatized on tv and movies. Like, love at first sight is real, and how you can love someone forever, and then......got stabbed in the back by it....and found yourself less of who you were before. From a failed marriage, came an album more personal, and more connecting than any of his others before.
aint got you, is an uptempo, elvisy type track. Bruce sings about how we long for love, and contact on this song, and how we always have what ... Read More
Rating: - Sophisticated Love Songs- 4.5 stars
Technically this is an album consisting entirely of love songs. However, Springsteen has a way of adding texture and thickness to the music. It is more about trust and care that comes from a relationship, rather than the feeling of love itself. Each song is distinct yet they all reflect the same emotion and concept of the album: such as the quiet nature of the songs and how they all correlate that edge of uncertainty that accompanies anybody when entering a relationship.
The songs themselves ... Read More
Rating: - Some of the Boss' most introspective work
Bruce Springsteen is one of those people who writes wide open. The break up of his first marriage inspired this CD and it's clear it left him broken up:
There's things will knock you down
You don't even see coming
And send you crawling
Like a baby back home
"One Step Up," which talks about how hard it is to change, is probably my favorite of this collection. But there are so many to love.
The closer, "Valentines Day," always leaves me in tears. ... Read More
Rating:  - NOT BORN IN THE U.S.A.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AFTER THE SUPER COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL BORN IN THE U.S.A. SOMETIMES SONGS FROM AN ALBUM BECOME TIRING AFTER HEARING THEM SO MANY TIMES ON THE RADIO. THAT IS WHY I LIKE THIS ALBUM. BESIDES BRILLIANT DISGUISE AND TUNNEL OF LOVE, TOUGHER THAN THE REST IS AN EXCELLENT SONG THAT MAKES THIS ONE WORTH ADDING TO YOUR SPRINGSTEEN COLLECTION!!
