Title: Would've made a great single.
Product review: When you're around for 40+ years you're gonna make a stinker or two and this was first but not worst. Victim Of Love and Leather Jackets vie for that title. Thoroughly uninspired on every level. The only positive is that Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson were spared from wasting their time playing this rubbish. Instead of taking a hard earned vacation and coming back refreshed, Elton and Bernie went to the well one too many times. The blood is also on Gus Dudgeon's hands too. I will never understand why a band that has Davey Johnstone in it has a zero like the ever embarrassing Ray Cooper so much up front in the mix. This was Elton's first warning that the drugs weren't such a good thing. He did not heed that warning. "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" and maybe, "One Horse Town". Would've made a great single. The rest is tepid pablum. I hated this when I bought it brand new in '76. It didn't age well. I still hate it in '12.
