Title: Sinking In The River
Review: River Of Dreams is the last studio album Billy Joel has released and by the sound of it, maybe that's not such a bad thing. Mr. Joel has always made highly listenable, superb pop-rock records, but on River Of Dreams, he tries to go down the Paul Simon, world beat route. The title track is plainly just a horrible song and the worst thing he has ever done. "Lullabye" is a nice idea, a song for his daughter, but it comes across as contrived. The album is saved a one-star rating by the excellent "Blonde Over Blue" and the pulsating "All About Soul", but other than those two thealbum fails to live up to his previous works.
Is the review positive or negative?
