Title: Billy deteriorates to the point where he should retire
Review: Billy Joel's songwriting had been declining steadily since 1985. Though his performing ability was strong, his songwriting became little more than rewriting old 60's tunes. This decay had been building through AN INNOCENT MAN, THE BRIDGE, STORM FRONT, and now THE RIVER OF DREAMS.Only 5 songs are worthwhile to listen to, "No Man's Land", "River of Dreams", "All About Soul", "2000 Years", and "Lullabye". Even these do not measure up against his earlier works from his golden era.Stay away. In fact Run. Run far. Far Far Away.
