I've always thought of Elton John as a "greatest hits" kind of artist and this album didn't dissuade me from that.

It's solid, but I can't see myself coming back to this on a regular basis except to listen to Tiny Dancer and Levon.

Rated 8/10

Just some perfectly produced pop songs and surprisingly proggy in parts? I dig it.

Yeah. I admit it. I used to listen to this in high school. I still know a lot of the words, too. Objectively I know it's trash and I'm embarrassed I ever liked it, but the slight nostalgia I feel for it won't let me give it a lower grade than 2 stars.

P.S. That n-word on the last track? We shouldn't be surprised that Kid has gone full MAGA.

The first song is a masterpiece and then the rest of disc one is good. However, this album reaches masterpiece status on the second disc.

This sounds like the bonus disc to an albums 30th anniversary deluxe edition. The work in progress songwriting demos.

This actually isn't bad. Probably because Ronnie Wood and other members of The Faces were involved pretty heavily. Still, much better than expected.

Name another group that can do hip-hop, hardcore punk and 70's funk instrumentals on one album. Beastie Boys will forever be my shit.

This sounds like my ass after I've had too much taco bell. None of these songs are interesting enough to listen to for 45 seconds, let alone for 8 minutes. I feel like this site is punishing me for giving me some actual good music last week. Proof that not everything was good in the 90s.

I dunno. I thought given the background behind this album and all the crazy shit this guy did I would either get something really weird like Captain Beefheart or some beautiful lost gem like Nick Drake or something. I get a run of the mill mid 60s folk rock album. Meh.

God, these Mike Mills backup vocals are transcendent.

Cut Your Hair is a decent track. I'm just bored and unimpressed by the rest. They're not doing anything that wasn't done much better by the Pixies or Weezer.
