Title: Why Joe, why!?
Product review: Ouch- this album was a big disappointment to me! I'm a huge Joe Jackson fan (I think I have all his studio albums just about), but this one just goes nowhere fast! Pretentious operatic swells, contrived lyrics, instrumentation more at place on a Lite Rock station. It's really a big surprise for me- esp. since his "Live in NY" album he put out earlier that year is absolutely AMAZING! Joe and two other guys on stage, the essence of a live rock/jazz trio, and all the power and brilliance you come to expect from The Man! Oh well----every artist has to go off a navel-gazing tangent some time. Night and Day II was Jackson's turn to do so.
