Reviews
Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", "...Billy Joel's `Raging Bull' tendencies feed RIVER OF DREAMS....Joel throws words like punches...he's a MOR ball of fire...", "...RIVER OF DREAMS is far too driving and exuberant to be called depressing. Yet its musical bluster only partially camouflages a lyrical preoccupation with social decay, mortality and the scary future...", "...a cry from something approaching the depths....the songs rock hard....a popmeister's epiphany, a pensive record that manages to be irresistible..." Rating: A-, 4 Stars - Excellent - "...finds the singer digging in the dirt of his life with focused urgency....Joel rattles his musical cages with a nastier edge..."
