"For me this is Elton John at his peak. Tackling progressive rock, Elton John and Bernie Taupin expanded their songcraft and in doing so created my personal favourite album of all time. What helps Madman Across the Water to be so exceptional are a couple of things. Firstly, the album holds some of..."  [+]  Reply

"One of their best albums! The combination of the the acid house and dance music in Ibiza with the signature New Order sound equals something magical. Favorites are well, the whole album! Probably the most cohesive album from them"  Reply

"An incredibly inspired, otherworldly, captivating, dramatic album. Her ethereal shapeshifting voice, the beautiful, brutally unconventional but highly accomplished arrangements... It's as if she's conjuring a new world into existence with the power of sound. I want to live inside this album and w..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm not much of an Elton John fan; too showy and pop style above substance for my taste. However, this is one of my personal favorites and an album I'll never get tired of listening to. It has lyrics that are delivered with real emotion and warmth in tracks like "Someone Saved my Life Tonight" an..."  [+]  Reply

"A wonderfully crafted collection of songs that really deserve a lot more love than I see them receive. Every song on here possesses something that you will enjoy and every track is at least good if not better. Their build up is sensational and they really allow every song to properly breathe whic..."  [+]  Reply

"Songs for swingin' lovers, is quite possibly Frank Sinatra's most enjoyable album. It's a giddy hoot of a record with Sinatra and arranger Nelson Riddle combining to produce one of their best collobarations. There are fantastic versions of, you make me feel so young, you brought a new kind of lov..."  [+]  Reply

"Otherwise known as, security, Peter Gabriel's fourth album sees him expanding his sound and embracing more world music textures. Some excellent tracks in, San Jacinto, shock the monkey, and, wallflower, which is probably my favourite song on the LP. Some beautiful moments here. Another superb Pet..."  [+]  Reply
