Pros:
honest, sobering, but fun.
Cons:
uninspired. He's done much better work
Human Touch is Springsteen's least accomplised record. Out of 14 songs, there are actually a few duds. There are, however, more than a few gems.
"Roll of the Dice," "Real World," "Man's Job," and "With Every Wish" are some of the best Springsteen songs of the '90's.
The record succeeds not on a song by song basis so much as on its strength as a whole. It's an engrossing journey and cuts deep. Filled with painful insights and inspiring declarations, "Human Touch" is definatly a step above the usual rock and roll love song genre.
However, if you're looking for the best of Springsteen's "relationship albums" I would pass this one by in favor of "Tunnel of Love" or "Lucky Town" both more consistent and inspired.
