Review
Hold onto your hats, folks! Billy Joel's 'Storm Front' is a whirlwind of musical mastery that'll sweep you off your feet. Released in the fall of '89, this album is like a Category 5 hurricane of sound, with Joel at its eye, conducting a symphony of emotions and stories.
Let's dive into the eye of this storm, shall we? The album's packed with tracks that'll stick with you like the lingering scent of petrichor after a summer downpour. 'We Didn't Start the Fire' is a rapid-fire history lesson that'll leave you breathless, while 'I Go to Extremes' is Joel pouring his heart out like a torrential rain. And don't even get me started on 'The Downeaster 'Alexa'' - it's a haunting sea shanty that'll have you feeling the salt spray on your face.
But it's not all thunder and lightning. Joel teamed up with Mick Jones to produce this baby, and boy, did they cook up a perfect storm. With new band members like Joey Hunting and Schuyler Deale joining the mix, 'Storm Front' brings fresh energy that'll blow you away. It's no wonder this album became Joel's third to hit the top spot in the U.S. charts - it's a force of nature that's still rocking our world decades later. - Juno
