Title: Joel's last great album:4.5 stars Product review: An Innocent Man (1983) marked a turning point in Joel's career. It was his last consistently good album and marked the beginning of a slow but steady songwriting decline that ended with a whimper in 1993. (I consider Joel's peak to be between the Stranger(1977)-Nylon Curtain(1982)).But this album has a lot to enjoy. Good catchy songs strong on melody and with good lyrics. It's a bit frivolous (most of the songs seem inspired by Christie Brinkley), but high in entertainment value.This album is also noteable due to the very evident change in Joel's singing voice. It's noticeably deeper compared to Nylon Curtain (from just the previous year), and he was obviously having problems hitting the high notes-most evident in the "Longest Time". (Joel was only 34 at the time so his singing problems may've been due more to smoking than age.)Oh by the way, the bonus videos (Longest Time, Keeping the Faith and Leave a Tender Moment Alone) on the CD are great too.

Title: Poor packaging - arrived broken Product review: I am glad that I ordered this two months before I needed it for a Christmas gift. It arrived broken, I could hear the pieces rattling in the box before I even opened the mailing package and shards fell out of the mailing box once it was open. Amazon packed the clay pot package in a box too big and only set one small set of air pillows on top of it. No where on the mailing package were "fragile" or "handle with care" written to let the delivery company know to take care with the box. All together I am very disappointed with Amazon this time and hope I find another company to send this out with more care in time for Christmas.

Title: Not So Good Product review: I bought this coffee maker because of its compact size, but returned it a week later. I found it very difficult to avoid spillage when pouring the water into the coffee maker AND the coffee into a cup. The problem was worse if making more than 4 cups.Another problem was the taste of the coffee. I like my coffee full of flavor. I have been using drip coffee makers for several years and think I know how to get the coffee "just right". But, every carafe of coffee from this tasted weak, and MUCH too hot, almost scalding!

Title: Les Wampas ont inventé le rock and roll Product review: Les Wampas is a unique french rock & roll band. Didier Wampas, is the leader of that band and has a very particular singing sytle. You may love or hate them. If you're touched by their originality then you're just lost because you'll have to buy all their records! Sales, chauds et humides that means Dirty, Hot and Wet (that's how one's feel during their concerts)is a must have it, with many of their best songs. Les Wampas is without any doubt, one of the best independent french r&r bands. If you trip to France, try to watch them in concert is just amazing.
