1001 Albums Summary

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John is definitely a pretty good album, and I can see why it’s so highly regarded. I feel that the most memorable parts of the album live in the first half of the record, but that’s not to say that the other half is subpar. While there are definitely some stronger tracks, I wouldn't skip any one of them when listening back because they are all good songs. The intro was captivating, and I really liked the synths; it reminds me of 2025 Turnstile. Track 8 “I’ve Seen That Movie Too” has one of the best guitar solos I’ve heard in a while. The closing track was also perfect for the record.

If give this a solid 4 but I'd give like a 3.8 if I could. Not bad at all but didn't leave me mesmerized. Songs are not super memorable, its only the single that I can recall. The Black Sabbath cover was cool however. Still worth a listen, the group has a pleasant sound what has aged like wine.
