ELTON JOHN - Madman Across the Water (180g Remastered Vinyl LP, 2018) **NEW**
Review from another site:
Trading the cinematic aspirations of
Tumbleweed Connection
for a tentative stab at prog rock, Elton John and Bernie Taupin delivered another excellent collection of songs with
Madman Across the Water
. Like its two predecessors,
Madman Across the Water
is driven by the sweeping string arrangements of Paul Buckmaster, who gives the songs here a richly dark and haunting edge. And these are songs that benefit from grandiose treatments. With most songs clocking in around five minutes, the record feels like a major work, and in many ways it is. While it's not as adventurous as
Tumbleweed Connection
, the overall quality of the record is very high, particularly on character sketches "Levon" and "Razor Face," as well as the melodramatic "Tiny Dancer" and the paranoid title track.
Madman Across the Water
begins to fall apart toward the end, but the record remains an ambitious and rewarding work, and John never attained its darkly introspective atmosphere again.
This 180 gram remastered edition also includes a 12 page booklet.
