Music reviews of Big World
Music Review: Joe Jackson - Overlooked Album That Was His Best Up To This Time In His Career
Rating: 5 Stars
Ever the chameleon Joe Jackson pulled another complete 360 with the release of "Big World" in 1986. On this album he pulls away from the sound of his previous two (very successful) albums, puts together a basic rock combo (Keys, bass, drums, guitar) and records the whole thing in front of a live audience. All audience noise has been edited out, so it sounds like a studio disc. When the album came out on vinyl it spanned 3 discs, and on CD it fits in at right around 1 hour. Along with "Laughter And Lust" this is definilty one of Jackson's most underrated albums. Much of it comes across almost as AOR rock which one would not think would be Jackson's forte, but he pulls off everything admirably here. "Big World" would unfortunately start a commercial slide for Jackson as it would only chart in the high 30's. The only single to do much was the song "Right And Wrong" which would get some airplay on mainstream rock / AOR radio, but then faded away fairly quickly. This is too bad as I think this might have been Joe's best album up to this point in his career. There are 15 tracks on this disc and just about all of them feature prime Joe Jackson songwriting. I am not going to go through all of the tracks, but suffice to say that I don't think there is a weak one in the bunch. This album tends to get overlooked in the cannon of Joe Jackson's catalogue, but if you are at all a fan, this along with "Laughter And Lust" are two must own albums that are often sadly underappreciated.
