Often underappreciated work! Wrongly!

For me to be one of the best Bruce albums because it is clear that no Boss album as the other sounds. After rocking and catchy "Born in the USA" came "Tunnel of Love", I still - 15 years after publication - regularly and consciously hear. All quiet, thoughtful songs with lyrics that are as almost always in Springsteen honest and get under your skin. Only "Spare Parts" falls somewhat from the more tranquil atmosphere, what it can not become a superfluous song. My favorites are "When you are alone," one of my favorite songs, "All that Heaven ..." and "Tougher Than the Rest", although this, the live version (available as a 4-track CD single) better again and is insistent. All in all, one of the albums that I would take with solitary on the famous island.
