5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, January 29, 2009
This review is from: Turnstiles (Audio CD)
This is his best album, beating out the Stranger slightly. It's musically and lyrically brilliant. Probably in the top 20 rock albums and even higher in terms of songwriting, in the Quadraphenia, Night at the Opera level.

5.0 out of 5 stars a piano man's indentity, May 4, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Turnstiles (Audio CD)
'Turnstiles' was a natural evolution of the Billy Joel persona. This is music that sounds as good in the studio as it would 'live' with only a piano and because the music is so strong a quartet or even a small orchestra is just background mood. There are few artists who make sophisticated music sound so simple. The poetry flows from his singing voice like waterfalls and the piano blends harmonies that are bluesy, jazzy and rock 'n roll. Joel never sounds rehearsed and especially in this album, where the multi-layered harmonies blend beautifully with the diverse rhythms of each song.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of Billy's Best Albums, June 30, 2008
This review is from: Turnstiles (Audio CD)
"Turnstiles" is an important album in the career of Billy Joel. After the success of "Piano Man", Joel took a step back with "Streetlife Serenade". Joel had to choose his next path carefully. The album opener, "Say Goodbye to Hollywood, is followed by "Summer, Highland Falls", a great tune that unfortunately has never gotten much credit, except maybe with the diehards. After the rather forgettable "All You Wanna Do Is Dance", the classic "New York State of Mind" gets the record back on track. "James", a song Joel wrote about a childhood buddy, and "Prelude/Angry Young Man (which has opened virtually every show on Joel's 2 year-plus tour) are gems. "I've Loved These days" is up next, followed by the album closer, "Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway), a science-fiction story describing the destruction of New York City. Overall, a fantastic album. Following the disappointing "Streetlife" and preceding the absolute classic "The Stranger", "Turnstiles" should not be overlooked.
