I am a huge Billy Joel fan and have this album on LP. Unfortunately these days it's so much easier to have albums as CDs - so I bought it! There are some great tracks on it and a "must have" if you like Billy Joel. I buy lots of CDs on ebay and have never been disappointed.
Personally I think is Billy Joels best album, packed with quality tracks from start to finish, from the awesome 'we didn't start the fire' through 'thats not her style' and on and on. In Britain too many people think of Joel as the man who sang 'Uptown Girl' , but his gives a better indication of his talent as an old school singer songwriter. I mean the guy can sell out Madison Square Garden for something like 12 straight nights, give him a chance.
This is an absolutely brillaint album. If you area Billy Joel fan, or someone who is new to the vocal and songwriting talents of this icon - well - this will give you an idea of the depth of talent that this man has. He rocks and rolls in Storm Front, and is quietly despairing in Downeaster Alexa - he is romantic and soulful in shameless and and so it goes - he runs the whole range of human emotion - all set to music! If you haven't heard it, treat your ears...
