Album Notes & Community Reviews

Updating Billy Joel's iconic 1989 historical rapid-fire track for the modern era, this cover spans global events from 1989 to 2023. The band injects the song with their signature pop-punk and alternative rock energy, though it drew significant criticism for its jarringly out-of-order chronological structure.
