    Elton's best album -- under-appreciated by many of his casual fans.
  

*by R***2 on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2017*

Many years ago I used to think Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Honky Chateau were Elton's best albums.  But after sampling several of his albums this past year (thanks to Amazon's Music Prime service), I came to realize this is one VERY consistent album without a single weak song to be found.  All the songs are very good!  However, there are a few standouts, such as the one unusual hit single (at nearly 7 minutes long) -- Someone Saved My Life Tonight.  When I listen to the progression of songs on this album, it fits in perfectly with this album.  It's as if the album breathes new life into it.  Other standouts?  Well, it's almost a crime the title track never received much airplay back in the day, as it easily could have served as a second hit song from here.  Also, the final two songs, together, serve as the best finale of any Elton John album.I purchased this on the new 180g remastered vinyl release.  The mixing, sound quality, and vinyl pressing are outstanding!  This re-release of the vinyl format provides all the original extras that likely are not included within the CD version -- such as the large lyrics booklet, as well as a second booklet providing many different historical photos from Elton and Bernie's origins, with notes.At this point, I now consider Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy as my favorite Elton John album.  I can listen to it several times a month without growing tired of it!  Note: My 2nd favorite now is probably Tumbleweed Connection, due to it also being a consistently well-written effort ( both musically and lyrically), but it doesn't quite have the stellar performance and the sound quality present on this album.  This was Elton's peak, released after the very inconsistent Caribou, and prior to the downhill slide that began with Rock of the Westies.

    Easily One of Elton John's Very Best Albums
  

*by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020*

This album was a favorite of my father's from way back when it was first released in 1975. Two bad the CD doesn't have the same appeal as the original vinyl album did, which opened into a wonderful collage of bizarre artwork, and included a booklet of the song lyrics. But ultimately, it is the music that matters, and this album does not disappoint. Every song is an epic masterpiece, and is in every way indicative of the enormous song writing talent of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. In addition, Elton had an AWESOME band consisting of some of the very best heavy hitters of music backing him up. Personally, the highlight of this album has got to be Someone Saved My Life Tonight. It is one of those powerful, emotional, moving musical experiences that is difficult to categorize. It amazes me that this album does not have the same draw and discussion as Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. If you are a fan of epic songwriting, and perfectly arranged and orchestrated popular music, you would be hard pressed to do better than this album.

    A great lp done with attention to the original
  

*by H***K on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2017*

This reissue is in short. A great lp done with attention to keeping it on par with the original mix, with an openness that just adds to the presence of certain instrumentation that were often lost on noisy 70's vinyl, and low sound level original album masterings it's greatness is simply brought more to the fore on this one. Highly recommended..
