Editorial Review:
Having already come close to beating Graham Parker, Elvis Costello, and Louis Jordan at their own games, Joe Jackson made a play for becoming the Cole Porter of his generation with this 1982 collection. Actually that's a bit of a cheap shot, especially considering what a refreshingly innovative album this was. Jackson truly hit his stride with a memorable set that combines new technology and classic songwriting. From the infectious "Chinatown" to the hits "Stepping Out" and "Breaking Us in Two," the album is a showcase for killer hooks wrapped up in shiny keyboards and Latin-tinged percussion. Small wonder that Jackson waited two decades to attempt a sequel. --Bill Forman

Rating:  - Joe Jackson - Schizophrenic Album Wsa Joe's Highest Charting Disc
After the "Beat Crazy" album in 1980 Joe broke up his original band and recorded an album of swing music called "Jumping Jive" which was completely different from anything he had done up to this time. 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 ... Read More
Rating:  - A True Classic
This album was such a refreshingly beautiful when it appeared in 1982. Jazzy, Latin-y pop filled with a beautiful old sound reinvented for the era. The songs all speak for themselves - there's not a bad one in the bunch. A Slow Slong just came on my IPOD and I had to write this. One of my all time favorites.
Rating: - Night andDay
Realy ahead of it's time! Latin riffs and diferent musical instruments combined. Most people didn't start doing that till the 1990's
More like Sting mets Pete Eschvedo!
I would reccomend it! Still very upbeat.
Rating: - Songs are excellent but over-produced sound!!!
This album has some of Joe's best songs. Another World, Cancer, Breaking Us in Two and the immortal classic, Real Men. That alone would make this album a worthy buy. BUT, the over produced synthesized sound of this album is AWFUL! At least on the first opening tracks. Another World is a great song but the rendition here is terrible. Just overproduced and synth-like which makes it painful to hear.
I highly recommend getting Joe's 1980-86 live album which has much better renditions of all ... Read More
Rating: - Joe Jackson's breakthrough album.
"We--
Are young but getting old before our time
We'll leave the T.V. and the radio behind
Don't you wonder what we'll find
Steppin out tonight.
You--
Can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be there in just a while
If you follow me."
This is one of my favorite Eighties albums. After releasing his 1981 album of jump jive covers, Jumpin' Jive, Joe Jackson released the 1982 album Night ... Read More
