First of all, The Big Picture isn't a bad album. It's just not what one would of hoped it would be. This album is a disappointment. Especially coming off a string of good albums like "Sleeping With The Past", "The One", "Made In England", and the greatest ballad hits collection, "Love Songs". This album is fairly low tempo. There are a few mid tempo songs, but not many. That's alright. It's just the low tempo ones are a little too long and unmemorable. There are high points. "Something About The Way You Look Tonight", "The Big Picture", "Wicked Dreams", "If The River Can Bend", "Love's Got A Lot To Answer For", are the high points. The rest aren't bad, they just don't seem to hit the right notes. Elton, by the way, sounds great. He always does. This was just a disappointment. Not that great. Could of been so much better.
