Billy Joel: Storm Front

17 October 1989 · 38 YEARS

Storm Front

Billy Joel

Mick Jones of Foreigner took the helm here, steering the production toward a grittier rock orientation. This transition marks a clear break from the earlier, polished pop style, favoring a raw energy that defined this chapter of the career.

Driving guitar riffs take the place of heavy synths, supporting a more forceful rhythmic approach. These tracks inhabit a harder studio space, capturing a restless energy that resonates through the punchy and impactful final mix.
