Title: Elton sells out
Review: I'm sorry, but this album is horrible. The drastic drop in quality from the brilliant, affecting "Honky Chateau" LP makes it clear, in retrospect, that this is where Elton made the tacky transition from "Artist" to "Entertainer". Sure, "Daniel" still sounds great; but "Have Mercy on the Criminal" is just horrid, and "Midnight Creeper" is quite possibly the most embarrassing Rolling Stones imitation of all-time. And the rest just reeks of early-70s tackiness -- all dressed up in baby blue polyester suits with nowhere to go....
