4.0 out of 5 stars Billy Joel's most underrated album, 28 Nov 2002
By R. S. Stanier "Robert Stanier" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Nylon Curtain (Audio CD)
Maybe it's because there aren't any love songs on this that it's so uncelebrated, because this is a simply brilliant album.
"Allentown" opens things up with vital force and that continues through the first side, ending with another political song, the Vietnam lament "Goodnight Saigon", a genuine epic.
In between, you find "Pressure", which is the best rock song Joel ever recorded.
As for the second side, it's full of unexpected numbers: "Scandinavian Skies" is really intriguing, and the closer "Where's The Orchestra?" has yet another fantastic lyric to accompany a mournful melody.
If you want Joel at his warmest, buy "An Innocent Man", if you want Joel at his most melodic, buy "The Stranger", but if you want Joel at his most intelligent, buy "The Nylon Curtain". A fantastic collection of songs that bears repeated listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definately His Best Album, 24 Jul 2004
This review is from: The Nylon Curtain (Audio CD)
Billy Joel's The Nylon Curtain is his finest album ever, and one of his earliest.

It has 9 traks, some of which (Allentown, She's Right On Time, Goodnight Saigon) are not just a few of my favourite Billy Joel Songs, but are a few of my favourite songs in general.

A piano and vocal only track finishes the album. Where's The Orchestra is also a good song.

Overall this has to be his best album

5.0 out of 5 stars Billy meets The Beatles, 20 Aug 2006
By Chief Wiggum (Kettering, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Nylon Curtain (Audio CD)
If the Beatles had kept on going this is the type of music we could have expected them to produce by the early '80s. I can't pay this masterpiece of an album a better compliment that that. Marvellous.
