The Nylon Curtain is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on June 28, 1982, and produced by Phil Ramone. The Nylon Curtain peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard albums chart, with two million sales in the U. It was one of the first albums to be digitally recorded, mixed, and mastered. The album is among Joel's most ambitious efforts, and Joel has openly acknowledged that it is one of his personal favorites, calling it the recording I'm most proud of and the material. 50 видео Воспроизвести все '80s Sing-AlongsYouTube Music. In short, The Nylon Curtain is where Billy Joel went serious, consciously crafting a song cycle about Baby Boomers in the Reagan era. Since this was an album about Baby Boomers, he chose to base his music almost entirely on the Beatles, the pivotal rock band for his generation. His desire to record a grand concept album is admirable, but his ever-present lyrical shortcomings mean that the songs paint a picture withou. Billy Joel's chameleonlike leaps from style to style have never resulted in a more audacious album than 1982's Nylon Curtain. Gloriously overreaching both musically-Joel seems compelled to act as both Lennon and McCartney on this heavily Beatles-influenced disc-and thematically, he takes on everything from romance in an age of alienation Laura, A Room of Our Own to the sociopolitical causes of that alienation Goodnight Saigon, the moving recession saga Allentown. The Nylon Curtain has a hint of progressive rock with songs such as Pressure, but more specifically, Scandanavian Skies. Billy Joel - The Nylon Curtain 1982. To favorites 5 Download album. Listen album. The Nylon Curtains mixture of brutal directness and tantalizing ambiguity suggests the late-Sixties John Lennon more than McCartney. Surprises and Scandinavian Skies boast baroque, heavily synthesized arrangements in which Joels singing is electronically distorted to sound as down-under as Lennons in Strawberry Fields Forever and I Am the Walrus. Coming after the frolicsome but forgettable Glass Houses, The Nylon Curtain finds Billy Joel on higher artistic ground than ever before. Album 1982 9 Songs. The Nylon Curtain. Billy Joel. Pop 1982. But by 1982, Ronald Reagan was president and baby boomers were settling into a reality of an America that was producing less and consuming more. John Lennon had been shot little more than a year earlier, further coarsening the atmosphere. Billy Joel set out to make the most ambitious album of his career, one that could stand together as a thematic whole it'd end up as the best-sounding album in his catalog. He succeeds on most counts.
