I have been a fan for over thirty years. What happened? Whereare the infectious melodies,insightful lyrics (the lyrics are so bad, we don't get them written in the liner notes as usual)and piano licks. I can believe these songs took nine days to write. They all sound like the same song. What these songs needed was a real producer. Elton is a great talent, but like many other artists collaboration is the key. Hopefully, he will get back to what made him Captain Fantastic in the first place - Piano, Bass and Drums
