01
Less appreciated Billy Joel classic album that deserves real love. On par with 52nd Street and Glass Houses, but never in the same conversation.
02
Following up Glass Houses (and Songs in the Attic) should be no easy feat, but Billy’s experimental, Beatle-esque record is a tour de force with the classics you love—Pressure, Goodnight Saigon, Allentown—and the classics you don’t know yet—Surprises, She’s Right on Time…
03
And then there’s Laura—how this is not Billy’s most popular song is beyond comprehension. Turn it up loud.
Verdict
The last Billy Joel record before the Brinkley pivot deserves more attention than it gets. Take my Peter Pan advice.
