Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Storm Front is the eleventh studio album recorded by American pop musician Billy Joel. It was released through Columbia Records on October 17, 1989.The album brought another shake-up to Billy's backing band—now, only David Brown and Liberty DeVitto remained from the original line-up. It was just the beginning of a Troubled Production.During recording, Billy fired his manager, Frank Weber, who was also the brother of his (first) ex-wife; he was discovered to be nismanaging Billy's finances. He would ultimately win back only a fraction of the money he lost, though he did win a counter-suit. He would later sue his former attorney in connection to the fraud, which was settled out-of-court in 1992.Having ended his work with Phil Ramone, Billy would co-produce the album with Mick Jones, famously of Foreigner. They decided to take the sound harder and more contemporary, punctuated by its first and biggest single, "We Didn't Start the Fire", which listed pop culture events from the previous 40 years to the point of recording—essentially, Billy's life to that point.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The album went quadruple-Platinum in the United States, and Platinum in the United Kingdom. It produced seven singles: "We Didn't Start the Fire", "Leningrad", "I Go to Extremes", "The Downeaster 'Alexa'", "That's Not Her Style", "And So It Goes", and "Shameless". Only "Fire" and "Extremes" reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, with "Fire" becoming his third #1 single.Tracklist Side One "That's Not Her Style" (5:10) "We Didn't Start the Fire" (4:50) "The Downeaster 'Alexa'" (3:44) "I Go to Extremes" (4:23) "Shameless" (4:26)Side Two "Storm Front" (5:17) "Leningrad" (4:06) "State of Grace" (4:30) "When in Rome" (4:44) "And So It Goes" (3:38)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Personnel Billy Joel – vocals, acoustic piano, clavinet, accordion, percussion, Hammond organ, harpsichord, organ, synthesizers Jeff Jacobs – synthesizers, backing vocals, horn arrangements David Brown – lead guitar, MIDI guitar solo Joey Hunting – rhythm guitar Schuyler Deale – bass guitar Liberty DeVitto – drums, percussion Crystal Taliefero – backing vocals, percussion | |

Sad Clown | |
| Storm Front (Album) (Music) / int_3f89452c | comment |
Sad Clown: A quite literal example in "Leningrad", about a Russian who used to be a soldier but took up a decidedly apolitical job as a clown because it made children laugh. | |

Children Are Innocent | |
| Storm Front (Album) (Music) / int_91672d3e | comment |
Children Are Innocent: "Leningrad". The general meaning is that all children are innocent, and all of them feel pain from conflict, no matter which side they're on. | |
