Billy Joel - Greatest Hits Vol. 3 Reviews

I hadn't bought many of Joel's post-"An Innocent Man" albums (although a few good friends had given me "The Bridge," "Kohcept," and the "Greatest Hits: Vols. I & II" as presents); I'd heard the quality of the songs had veered from great to good to mediocre, and because I was building up my classical music CD collection, I wasn't about to spend my limited music-buying bucks on albums that would disappoint me. So when I read a review in my local newspaper that stated, in short, that Volume III wasn't exactly the most fitting "adieu" to pop/rock recording by "the Piano Man," I said to myself, "Nah, I better not waste my money on this CD; let's get Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields' Amadeus soundtrack instead." This I did, but about a year later, I was trying to find...

I had heard some of these songs on the radio but not well enough to know them individually. I wanted "An Innocent Man" on disc so I thought I would take the risk and purchase this collection. This collection has a more serious undercurrent than his earlier work. The listener knows Joel has been burned a few times and that he speaks from personal and brutal life experiences on this CD. "Keeping The Faith" and "A Matter Of Trust" are both good radio tunes and the two most upbeat songs included (beatwise). "An Innocent Man" and "Honesty" should never have been excluded on the first greatest hits collection. At least we have one out of two here. "Baby Grand" begins the let's sit back and listen to some really good music that continues for the rest of the CD. Ray Charles and Billy Joel team up well as they share the same...

First of all, there's a few songs on it that weren't hits or even singles. "shameless"is one of those songs. It's a good Billy Joel song,but it wasn't a single. It was a huge hit for another artist,so maybe that's why they included it. This album doesn't necessarily mean "Greatest Hits"in the sense of the double hits album. There are a number of hits,"We Didn't Start The Fire","Leningrad","The River Of Dreams","An Innocent Man","A Matter Of Trust",and so on. The other obscure choices like,"Shameless","The Downeaster Alexa",only seem to be included to fill up the album. Not that those songs aren't good, they are, they just weren't hits. So, while this album may not be entirely filled of"Greatest Hits",it is still an exceptional album. A must for any hardcore Billy Joel fan. But,then... Read more |
