Advantages: great music brilliant lyrics great to play if youve just split up with someone

Disadvantages: none really

when i first heard this album i didnt understand it i thought the music was lovely but i didnt understand what it was all about, then one day i put it on and bam it hit me and all fell into place.
The album is about relashinships. and no one can write about them like bruce springsteen,
this is not a soppy love album this is not a dark ride through the tunnel of love but this is a rollercoaster of emotions ,
the album deals with deciept betrayal denial lust hope fear self doubt all the feelings that love brings us.
musically this is a beautiful sounding album ( sounds great on headphones ) lyrically its brilliant . and vocally its clear and sung well and you can feel the realness in he's voice as he sings.
it contains 5 hit singles and a class of songwritting .
the songs well. here's a rundown.
aint got you - a short rockabilly type number about having everything but love
tougher than the rest - a bruce classic ( this was a single and the live version is a thousand times better ( check out the video ) a good solid i want you love song.
all that heaven will alllow - is alight hearted feel good love song about wanting everything from life.
spare parts - the only real rock song on the album and this was also a single. the live version though again is much better. a good rockin tale of a pregnant girl and her troubles
cautious man - this a story song the most sombre on the album it sound slovely and the story is brilliant
walk like a man - a brillaint ballad about being brave and recalling the past this has some brilliant lyrics
Tunnel of love - another single with video this is now another classic a good mid upbeat rock love song
two faces - a mid tempo ballad with soem great keyboard sing along riff - aboutthe two faces we show in love
brilliant disguise - again another classic track and single. tell me what i see when i look in your eyes is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise >?
one step up - another hit single and a brilliant song lovely music this is a real highlight to the album
when youre alone - a catchy ballad again lyrics are great
valentines day - this is like a slow driving ballad with some lovely music and a voice of uncertainty and hope and fear and longing. great end to a brilliant album.
iif you know the pit falls of love and that other sid of the coin then you will really appreciate this album

Summary: lyrically brilliant musically lovely vocally great overall a stuning album
