Review

Rolling Stone (9/30/93, p.101) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Mellencamp's richest and most fully realized album since SCARECROW (1985)....Within these songs of middle-aged malaise, Mellencamp may not know what it means, but he knows exactly how it feels..."
Spin (11/93, p.133) - Highly Recommended - "...HUMAN WHEELS is just another John Mellencamp record, and it's a rewarding one...it's fortifying stuff..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/16/93, p.69) - "...there's something dark and unshaven about [HUMAN WHEELS]...the world may be in a sorry state, but by working together with such obvious joy, these musicians demonstrate how things ought to be..." - Rating: A
Q (10/93, p.106) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...[Mellencamp] presents himself in a more lyric, mythic mode on HUMAN WHEELS...full of fairly memorable songs...done with a hint of acceptable strangeness..."
Stereo Review (12/93, p.116) - Performance: Familiar / Recording: Good - "...[Mellencamp's] returned to strolling down Main Street, USA, squinting warily at life as most people live it...a splendid return to form. John Mellencamp is back home again...."

Recording information: Belmont Mall Studio, Belmont, Indiana (1992).

On his previous albums, John Mellencamp always infused his heartland rock with a hopefulness and party spirit that kept his paeans to the trials of the working man from becoming bleak. Not so here--if those discs were gritty rock & roll efforts, then HUMAN WHEELS is the artist's dark, confessional singer/songwriter record. Here swaggering, power-chord-driven bombast and anthemic choruses are often replaced by gently strummed mandolin, organ swells, and whispered, elegant verse. There are also hints of things to come--"Junior" and "French Shoes" are driven by dance rhythms that foreshadow the electronic beats of MR. HAPPY GO LUCKY. "What If I Came Knocking," on the other hand, is all thrashing Crazy Horse-style guitars and scary imagery. An album that is by turns disconcerting and deeply moving, HUMAN WHEELS finds John Mellencamp still rocking, but in a subdued and intensely personal manner.
