To put it simply, this is a fantastic album. Elton John puts raw enthusiasm into each song. This isn't exactly a 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' album because of the absence of rockish songs but this is the kind of music one can easily get into. A few of my personal favourites from this CD are: 'Turn Out The Lights When You Leave', 'My Elusive Drug' and 'Freaks In Love'.
This album is necessary for any Elton John fan.

This album is amazing. It takes me back to those early Elton albums, with hints of EJ, Madman, GYBR, Captain F, etc, etc. I'd missed those lyrics and those tunes, and Elton's rich rythmn and blues vocals come through again, not to mention his sardonic twist on the Country theme. A welcome return from the wilderness of otherness that plagued him for so long. Worth every penny, and I've played it over and over and over and... Get the message?

This is the type of Elton John album you want to listen to over, and over again. It has the class and style of Elton John at his finest. You will still be listening to this album 20 years from now.

I am unsure of what Elton is doing with this record. The songs are all very nice ballads, but the album lacks any enthusiasm. There are no songs that could be called a "rocker", just a bunch of nice songs of which not one really stands out except for maybe Porch Swing In Tupelo.
