It simply lacks a lively approach and also sounds incredibly flat by comparison to John's other records from this era. For reference, the edition that this review is based on is the 1995 Mercury remaster available on TIDAL Hi-Fi. However, sonically I find the album challenging to enjoy as it sounds rather concealed.


As far as album titles go, this is one of my favourites as it conjures up a variety of thoughts that not only apply to the literal inference of the statement, but the showmanship element portrayed via the cover art.įrom a musical perspective, there is much to like here as many of the songs have gone on to become staples in the Elton John catalogue.
