Elton's 70's Material is His Best ! This is an Earlier Record with Tiny Dancer , Levon and the Title Track all Long Lived Classic Rock Hits ! Elton would soon become a Showman and Superstar . However this Record Paves the Way ! Bernie Taupin's Lyrics are Showcased on this Album in a more Poetic and Subtle Fashion . The Album flows from Song Song with seamless perfection . The Production is Full , Rounded and stays within the Mood , Tone and Feel of the Music .  Madman has an overall Medium, centered sound and pace . This is an Artist with His Group that delivers a wonderful classic Record !  Elton John was right on the Verge of Super-stardom on this outing . The Arrangements on this Album Capture a Soulful Dynamic Start to Finish . Put this CD on let it play. The Music takes the Listener on a sublime Journey Across the Water . As it Washes over You bringing a Peaceful Resonance ~
