5.0 out of 5 stars A Satisfying Album, 24 Feb 2001
This album was Billy's first of the 1980s and is an extremely eclectic collection of songs. It is the work of a man at the peak of his powers. It opens with the sound of breaking glass before launching into "You may be right", the most 'rocking' song he ever wrote. The album is a carefully balanced blend of upbeat rockers like the aforementioned track and the hit single "It's still rock and roll to me", and the usual sumptuous slow numbers like "Through the long night" and the wonderful McCartney-esque "C'etait toi" (which is sung half English, half French like The Beatles' "Michelle"). Other tracks on the album such as "I don't want to be alone" and "Sleeping with the television on" may not be appear to be immediately catchy, but will soon lodge themselves in your memory. A particular favourite of mine is the wonderfully light "Don't ask me why" - guaranteed to cheer you up and have you prancing around the house! All in all, a very satisfying collection of songs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some great nuggets, but not classic Joel, 8 Aug 2002
By R. S. Stanier "Robert Stanier" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Released in the middle of his late 70s/ early 80s zenith, this isn't up to the standards of "The Stranger" or "An Innocent Man" but it does have its moments.
"All For Leyna" is a fantastic song, totally original, a pointed analysis of obsession, and the album closer "Through The Long Night" has the sweetest harmonies on a Joel record. Very Beatley, it makes it into George Martin's Top 10 pop songs ever, which is pretty remarkable as it is not well known.
Overall, a great second side is let down by some weak stuff up front. "Sometimes a Fantasy", for example, is turgid pseudo-rock and "Don't Ask Me Why" on this album doesn't sound half as good as it does on the Millennium concert, when it is played live.
Joel fans will find enough to please them here, but fringers should head elsewhere in his catalogue.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Tunes!, 2 Feb 2007
By David Calcano (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Billy is on of the masters of piano driven rock & pop, and I certainly miss that we will not get any new studio albums from him... being retired from making rock and pop music. He is now doing classical music records and touring performing songs from his great back catalogue.
In this album I hear more pop oriented songs than the previous records. It feels that he was starting to craft the sound that would materialise in Storm Front which is a phenomenal record. This album has terrific singles with those catchy Billy Joel melodies that are always at the top form.

If you want to download just a few... these are my top 3:

- You may be right (this one sounds terrific live)
- Don't Ask Me Why
- C'Etait Toe (You were the one)

Billy has an amazing string of albums; don't stop with this one...

Let the music play!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even if it's old junk
A strangely underrated BJ album, with lots of undiscovered classics, including (my favourite) I Don't Want To Be Alone.

Perfect listening for frosty Saturday mornings.
