Customer Reviews

Worthless Filler? Where?

This another solid Joel album.... he has never been critically acclaimed outside of The Stranger so it shouldn't stop anyone from buying this record. It's brilliant. Critics don't like him and he doesn't care. Don't take sh*t from anybody!

No "Worthless Filler" Here

I just want to concur with the other reviewers who object to the "worthless filler" tag placed on the less-well-known songs in this album. I've had this album almost since its original debut and I still listen to it. I like it a lot, and I like and appreciate each song on the album. In fact, the song The Downeaster "Alexa," which the reviewer described as "minor," is anything but minor in my opinion. It is one of my favorite songs and I still get emotional when I hear it. Listen to the previews and decide for yourself.

A Fine Album

I don't know who's writing these reviews for iTunes, but I'd hardly characterize "The Downeaster Alexa" as "minor". This is one of the better songs in the album - a moving and melancholy testimonial to the plight of Long Island fishermen and, by extension, working-class fishermen everywhere. "Storm Front" doesn't have any message - at least, none that this listener can discern - but it's just fun and rocking! "Leningrad" is a true story of Billy's family in Russia on tour, back when it was the Soviet Union, and the new friend they found in a Russian circus clown. It's a beautifully composed and written song. Filler??? Nyet! In summary, sure, it's not Billy's best album, but it's still pretty damn good!
