Music reviews of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Music Review: The Essential EJ Album for All Music Lovers
Rating: 5 Stars

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - 1973 (*****) 17 tracks (76:23)

Many people consider this Elton John's masterpiece album. It is very good, and has many excellent and classic songs on it. Sonically, it sounds great, and as the number of reviews indicates, this is Elton John's most popular album. It easily has more than double the average number of reviews of his other 70's era albums. Back in the day this was a double vinyl album of 17 tracks, and there are only two weak songs on the whole thing. But, because of that, it end's up #2 on my classic era 1970's Elton John list, just behind the excellent Tumbleweed Connection (which has no weak songs).

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one of the most classic rock albums of the 1970's, and is an album everyone needs to own because it is packed with great music. This was one of the first Elton John albums I was exposed to after previously only owning his greatest hits album. Boy, was I ever impressed the first time I heard the opening track Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding, with it's slow atmospheric beginning to it's hard rockin' and fast paced mid-section. This song is just awesome and really sets the bar high for the rest of the album to try and match. There are so many great songs on this that hardly if ever got any radio airplay. From "I've Seen that Movie Too" to "All the Young Girls Love Alice". It doesn't matter if you are an Elton John fan or not, every fan of classic rock and quality music from the `70's needs to have this one. It's an absolute 5 star album.

**** Highly Recommended ****

Description of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Japanese special edition of this classic original album re-released on CD and packaged in a 12 x 12 inch album sized LP replica sleeve with all the original artwork and tracks. Universal. 2005.
Rarely mentioned as one of the great double albums, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road had to settle for ending up in a few million record collections. So sprawling that it doesn't quite measure up to the earlier, more laid-back Honky Chateau or the later, pushy Rock of the Westies, this still holds claim to a lot of brilliant, very pop-savvy music: the winking rebellion of "Bennie and the Jets" and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," the ready-made nostalgia of "The Ballad of Danny Bailey," the downbeat melodicism of "Harmony." --Rickey Wright
