"Elton's most recent studio album is also one of his best. A return in sound to the stripped back approach of the Honky Chateau days. Contains one of their all time greats: This Train Don't Stop....."
"Luscious string arrangements have often been accused of being overbearing, but I think they're the perfect accompaniment to the soaring majesty of Elton's melodies."
"Elton's eponymous 1970 LP was the first step on his climb to superstardom. It is still a classic after 33 years, with its eclectic mix of styles and arrangements."
"Usually overrated and cited as his greatest achievement, this is still one of the best. Contains Rocket Man which really launched him as a pop star in the UK, as well as the sublime Mona Lisas..."
"My personal favourite. Has a moodier sound than most of his albums. Features evergreens Daniel and Crocodile Rock as well as gems Teenage Idol and Have Mercy on the Criminal."
"Elton's first album for his own label is one of his best. Gloriously uncommercial, this marked the end of an era in Elton's recording career. He wouldn't make an album this good until....."
"....this one! 1983's return to collaboration with Taupin is a landmark record. Contains a fair clutch of hits,but most notable for hidden gems One More Arrow (achingly beautiful) and Cold as Christmas"
"Elton followed Too Low with another classic, which improves with each listening. It's masterstroke is Burning Buildings combining a majestical soaring vocal with just the right amount of melodrama"
"A little over-produced, but it was the mid-90s and that was the trend. The best of Elton's 90s albums by a long way. House and Cold are stoundouts, as are the hits Believe and the title track."
