His best [Posted on 2008-02-26]
Great melodies, great piano, tight band, good lyrics. If "Burn Down the Mission" was two minutes shorter this would be a five star album. This was his most cohesive album; what followed was an unbelievable outpouring of hit singles.
A Must Have [Posted on 2008-03-08]
I have numerous compilations in my music library and this has gotten the most wear. As a being who has grown up through the 60's and 70's world of amazing music, this is a must have for anyone who appreciates the finer aspects of music.This is so much better than his pop radio hits. Just listen.
One great album [Posted on 2008-03-22]
This album may not have been well known, but it is an excellent record. I don't think any of the songs were hits, but the album is excellent. I highly recommend it.

Elton John has had MANY classic albums over the years, and that's why people remember him as the top 5 musicians of the 70's. The early days were really good too.
While the western/country pop rock style of Elton John is one of the main things people note about Tumbleweed Connection, it should also be noted that despite sounding different from the pop rock commercial phase of Elton John's career (starting with the "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player" album) his typical style of piano pop on Tumbleweed Connection isn't really any different from any other song you've heard by Elton John. It just *sounds* different with the western influences. The songs are still written the same way as usual.
So basically what I'm trying to say is even though the album has a western vibe, it still falls in the same category of singer-songwriter and the songs really aren't constructed any differently from that of say "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me".
However, the quality of the music is REALLY high, and that makes the album a classic.
