There's a great album between the two and Dan Caffrey has found it (apparently)...

Possibly the worst article I've ever read by someone who thinks they understand Springsteen.

The Lucky Town disc is near perfect. Maybe "Book Of Dreams" is a tad redundant. Another track in it's place would have improved the record somewhat.

Human Touch is the disc with the duds.  Starting with the title track, Soul Driver, Cross My Heart, With Every Wish, Roll Of The Dice, All Or Nothing, there is the beginnings of a pretty rocking album. Perhaps different arrangements / lyrics might have saved Real World and 57 Channels.  Add in Sad Eyes, Part Man Part Monkey and a studio version of Light Of Day and you're looking at a much improved disc.

The half dozen leftovers (Gloria's Eyes, Man's Job, Wish I Were Blind, Long Goodbye, Real Man, Pony Boy) should have never made it past the demo stage.

Going back to when the two discs were first released, I always felt that a Lucky Town / Roll Of The Dice lead-off single would have fared better in the public perception than Human Touch / Better Days.
