Title: Billy's golden age comes to a... end
Product review: Billy killed his golden age after the release of the overrated NYLON CURTAIN. He switched to writing lighthearted songs like the overplayed "Uptown Girl", and "Tell Her About It", as the basis of a new album to be released in 1985. Joel's songwriting fell victim to decay and his songs no longer were deep or intellectually involved. He would never again turn out any real original material, but only copies of already written songs. AN INNOCENT MAN was clearly evident of Billy's aging ability.Here, no indepth study is needed. "An Innocent Man" is one of the few songs worth listening to. "Keeping the Faith" is overrated, and "Uptown Girl" is overexposed.Hold off to buy this album until you buy GLASS HOUSES, THE STRANGER, TURNSTILES, or a greatest hits compilation first. Or buy it for collecter's sake
