A lot of good points being made.
MoraWintersoul, fair points, and this goes back to the standard that applies to every band/artist, in that every album you make gets compared to your earlier ones, rather than being judged in a vaccum on its own. Fair or not, it's just the way it is. And with so many heavyweights in her catalogue prior, it's a tough standard to meet every single time out.
HOF, to reiterate, this album is a major grower. Some stuff hit me right away, but quite a bit of it took multiple listens for me to really get it. This is her anti-1989 (1989 is loaded with instantly catchy songs, this one not so much).
Bill/Stadler, I have heard that many Bruce fans have much affection for Tunnel of Love, but I have never heard that album outside of the title track, which is one of the Bruce songs I do like a lot, as a casual fan at the very best. What other songs are notable from that record? (knowing that always gives me a good starting point)
MirrorMask, while I think much of that is fair, despite its lofty status now, Folklore seems to be remember now as a whole; it doesn't really have that one song either that "everyone" knows. I still hear Willow from Evermore on the modern radio station at work, but it's been a long time since I've heard anything from Folklore get played.
