As his 11th studio album, it also marked a clear reset: Joel moved on from longtime producer Phil Ramone, kept only drummer Liberty DeVitto from his regular band, and brought in Mick Jones of Foreigner to produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat change matters to the sound. \u003cem\u003eStorm Front\u003c\/em\u003e leans harder into glossy late-80s pop-rock than much of Joel’s earlier catalog, but it also balances that scale with some of his more reflective writing. Alongside the rapid-fire history lesson of \u003cem\u003eWe Didn’t Start the Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, there’s the working-waterfront storytelling of \u003cem\u003eThe Downeaster “Alexa”\u003c\/em\u003e and the restrained, quietly bruised balladry of \u003cem\u003eAnd So It Goes\u003c\/em\u003e. The result is an album that shows Joel pushing toward a tougher, more contemporary studio feel without giving up his instinct for character and melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts reputation often rests on the singles, but \u003cem\u003eStorm Front\u003c\/em\u003e is more revealing as a snapshot of transition: a major pop songwriter adjusting his sound at the end of the 1980s, while still writing songs with a distinctly New York sense of place and personality.
