He’s an asshole but alright

Classic. I loved it, again.

top 2 by mister Joel

👌🏽just 👌🏽

I like that ackackackackack song and a couple of others on here are singalongs. I like the one where he tells his wife or girlfriend or something that he doesn’t want her to be smart and for her just to remain the same.

Heard it before, not for me

Very good album. Maybe it's just me but it gave me a lot of Graceland vibes even though it's quite different.

Classic Joel Scenes from an Italian good for long-form Pretty good shortforms/casuals

I like Billy Joel. Nice album. Nice to listen to. And some songs I recognized.

So many hits! Great album

Great album, scenes is a fantastic song

A couple of songs I was not familiar with, but the ones I know are some of my favourites.

boring but got a couple bangers

memories, was good to hear

Tänään tein havainnon että Billy Joel ja Billy Idol ovat kaksi eri henkilöä. Jotenkin olin onnistunut kuvittelemaan että sama superbilly on Piano Manin ja Rebel Yellin takana. Tämä ruotsinlaivabilly oli ihan mukavaa kuunneltavaa vaikkei elämysmittari punaisella värähdellytkään. Levyn avausbiisi oli paras ja Vienna etäisesti tuttu.

Fav Song: Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)

A bit too poppy for my taste, but the production and audio engineering is very pleasing to the ear. A few good tunes I enjoyed, but still too much pop for me.

Used to play this on Roy’s old vinyl

grande billy joel do uptown girl

Just straight beautiful, catchy, well written songs

Some really great songs.

Nice to listen to the full album. "She's always a woman to me" very classic!

absolute classic, every song a hit

Oh who would have thought, another rock album...I liked the sax in just the way you are. It's a decent album.

Really good album, so used to hi greatest hits it was great to listen to the original album and get the added song flow. Loved it.

det här är ett riktigt bra album. öppnar starkt med movin' out och fortsätter egentligen bara öka. har lyssnat hela helgen för att bestämma om det är en femma men dit når det inte riktigt.

3.5 stars. better than i expected, not life changing. storytelling. highlights movin out only the good die young.

Fucking great album. Tons of tracks that stand out as singles, but also work together to tell a complete and compelling story

I can't help but think of The Boys / Hughie and it kind of ruins this album and Billy Joel for me.

its alright not really that great imo

Really feeling Vienna right now

Billy Joel's biggest hits are elsewhere, but his best songs are here. This is him at his purest, I guess. Best track: Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)

Very moody, stranger makes me want to curl up during rainy weather,scenes from an Italian restaraunt have me viking while I do my marvel superhero intro walk-dance down the street while gliding my hands on windows and finger-gunning at people I don't know.Vienna reminds me to take a slow pace and take in the views and risk of nostalgia and romance of the mundane we take advantage of. Only the good die young is a nice song to have a sing along in the car to with a close friend with good taste in music.

OOO OOAAH OAH OAAAAA

I was enjoying myself for the first couple tracks, but after that my opinion nosedived back to where I expected it to go. It's a mostly unobjectionable pop album, honestly. But so many of the instrumental sections are beyond cheesy. I was familiar with Only the Good Die Young and still have a positive outlook on the song, but it's not enough to buoy the back half.

What a delightful album! 8/10 FT: The stranger

Great album, loved it.

Loved it already!

moving owt lol this has all the best billy joel song imo hence this is the best billy joel album for me (so far)

I've never listened to the album but I've heard a few songs from it on the radio/rage/etc. I'll probably recognise a couple of others as well. Easy 4/5. Billy Joel might be a real prick but jeez he can write a song. I guess Elton John comparisons? Either way I'm gonna remember this album for background drinking music etc (for when I get bored of malevolent creation ha ha ha)

I’m homeless
