The Toronto Star noted that, "though the Foremans' songwriting is still full of edgy asides, bittersweet incongruities and juicy hooks ... there's an underlying sadness to much of Trouble in the Home." [7] The Calgary Herald wrote that "there are some stinging guitar licks ... but the overall feel to the Thrashing Doves is one of a subtle, bittersweet sensuality." [8]
The Los Angeles Times deemed the album "forceful, melodic rock with lush (but not syrupy) arrangements." [6] Trouser Press concluded that "the music is still wholly lacking in purpose and conviction, and the lyrics' cagey religious references are too coy by half." [9]
All tracks written by Brian Foreman & Ken Foreman.
River of Dreams is the twelfth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on August 10, 1993. River of Dreams presented a more serious tone than found in Joel's previous albums, dealing with issues such as trust and long-lasting love. It was rumored that the themes of trust and betrayal, particularly certain lyrics from the songs "A Minor Variation" and "The Great Wall of China", stem from Joel's legal disputes with his former manager and ex-brother-in-law, Frank Weber, who reportedly embezzled millions of dollars from Joel and used dubious accounting practices to cover it up.
