Though released separately, both albums signalled the singer’s more mature preoccupation with introspective, complicated themes of desire, despair and regret. The albums were also Springsteen’s first without the full E Street Band. HUMAN TOUCH and LUCKY TOWN marry Springsteen’s popular persona of fist-waving, stadium rocker with the more reflective, rootsier sound the singer favored on NEBRASKA.LUCKY TOWN’s «Better Days» is Springsteen’s forthright contemplation of his contradictory status as a multi-millionaire, working class hero. The slight Nashville lilt of «If I Should Fall Behind» is reminiscent of the sentimental balladry on BORN IN THE USA and «Leap of Faith» is a keening, raspy return to the Springsteen of anthemic yore. HUMAN TOUCH and LUCKY TOWN may never be revered in same way as some of his other releases, but both albums are immensely satisfying as a double shot farewell to the raucous rebelliousness of Springsteen’s youthful rock and roll years.

4.5 Stars – Excellent Plus – …the album’s ten songs paint a convincing–and only rarely cloying–portrait of domestic homelife and its contents…the fascinating progress of one of the most compelling artists of our time…
