Customer Reviews
Great Album
"River of Dreams" is a great record. The songs explore many of Joel's themes from earlier albums: "No Man's Land" is a pointed social commentary; "Great Wall of China," about his former manager (or lawyer, not quite sure which), is both angry and puzzled (Christie Brinkley told him the man didn't deserve a song); and "River of Dreams," much like what we heard on "Innocent Man," is stylistically a throwback to the '50s. However, here Joel starts to break tradition. On the title track, he explores spirituality, something we haven't seen before. Likewise "Lullabye," written for his daughter Alexa Ray, touches on mortality and what it means to live on after one is gone. "Two Thousand Years" continues this new direction with a musing on the upcoming millennium. Joel's songwriting has matured and gained depth and grace on "River of Dreams." As always, his lyrics are passionate, honest, and sincere. It is easy to see why the album is nominated for four grammy awards. I give it five stars, and hope to hear more from the Piano Man in the future.
No Rating?
I see nobody has rated this album.. As a long-time Joel fan, I haven't had to own every one of his late albums, but this CD is phenomemal.
