"A fantastic album!A brilliant and varied selection of songs,includes a bit of blues, rock, country and gospel.His most likeable album in my opinion.Lots of character.Best song-'Where to now St Peter?'"
"Another extremely well crafted album. 'Rocket Man' came from this little cracker, and there are still better songs than that to be had here. My favorite's gotta be 'Amy'."
"Tons of good to be had here. Such a suprise as well, totally stripped of all the influences picked up in the 80's n 90's. A fist full of Elton at his best, back to basics. 'I want love' - incredible!"
"A fantastic concept album that simply oozes character.Exellent collection of BT lyrics, each song with its own little story to tell, music well suited the character of each. 'Harmony' - sensational!"
"Ah, this is a great one! This is an autobiographical album,based on EJ's and BT's graffting, obsticals,etc that all led up to making it in the music industry. My favorite song shares the albums title."
"Their most down beat album.Bernie Taupin was having a rough time when he wrote these lyrics. It's still great tho, musically their least comercial album,an alternative song selection.'Idol' - Oh yes!"
"A fantastic and varied album,rich in character.Gave birth to 'Daniel' and 'Crockodile Rock'(hate that last one tho!).A decent exploration of country and rock influences.'High flying bird' - Beautiful!"
"After a drippy turnout of albums in the late 70's and 80's (tho there were some good songs) , Elton smacked us in the face with this album. Super solid! 'One more arrow' is an amazing song."
"Another very strong album,although it does contain 'Sacrifice' which I can't stand,twas a bit over played I think.The title song of this album is incredible!Eltons brilliantly crafted tribute to soul."
"What on earth went wrong here!A fantastic album which for some reason did quite badly in the charts.Critically acclaimed,and no wonder.Solid,not a single duff track.'All that i'm allowed' is a beauty!"
