Jackson then did another 360 with "Night And Day" in 1980 when the one time punk turned himself into a songwriter not unlike his older heroes like Cole Porter or George Gershwin. Most of the punk, new wave is gone on this one in favor of a jazzy sometimes salsa lounge act feel. The album does still rock in places, but this is a very different Joe Jackson album from anything that came before it. Ironically "Night And Day" would prove to be a huge success with the album climbing to #4 in the U.S. charts and the single "Stepping Out" becoming Joe's biggest hit. "Breaking Us In Two" and "Real Men" would also get significant airplay and all three songs continue to be staples of Joe's live shows to this day. The album is represents a portrait of life in 1980's New York City with the disc broken up into "day" and "night" making it somewhat of a concept piece. I find this album to be rather schizophrenic in nature. It has several of Joe's all time best songs on it, but the rest of the album has never done a lot for me. First the good, "Breaking Us In Two", "Real Men", and "A Slow Song" rank up with the very best material Jackson has ever written. The rest of the album is rather pedestrian by Jackson standards with songs like "Cancer", "T.V. Age", and "Target" taking on rather mundane issues of the day in a rather average manner. The rest of the songs on the disc have never done a lot for me. "Night And Day" was Joe's biggest seller and there are some very very high points on it, but overall I like some of his other discs a lot better.
