Pro Reviews: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road [Deluxe Edition]
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was where Elton John's personality began to gather more attention than his music, as it topped the American charts for eight straight weeks. In many ways, the double album was a recap of all the styles and sounds that made John a star. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is all over the map, beginning with the progrock epic "Funeral for a Friend (Love Lies Bleeding)" and immediately careening into the balladry of "Candle in the Wind." For the rest of the album, John leaps between popcraft ("Bennie and the Jets"), ballads ("Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"), hard rock ("Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting"), novelties ("Jamaica JerkOff"), Taupin's literary pretensions ("The Ballad of Danny Bailey"), and everything in between. Though its diversity is impressive, the album doesn't hold together very well. Even so, its individual moments are spectacular and the glitzy, crowdpleasing showmanship that fuels the album pretty much defines what made Elton John a superstar in the early '70s. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: ... Surround Format Is Amazing ...
Cons: ... Have Only Heard Surround In 48khz ...
... Although I don't own this title on SACD (I have the DVD-A version) I've been hearing that the 2 formats are pretty similar in sound with minor differences in overall texture [SACD - More bloom: a smoother sound; DVD-A - Punchier Bass, More Analytical Sound]; Both versions are very poplular, with SACD having the edge, so for the sake of novelty, I'll be reviewing the DVD-A version ...
Basically, this album is Classic ... There isn't too much that can be said about the music containted that hasn't already been said ... However if you've owned the Vinyl LP and/or the CD verison (I have), you're in for a real suprise ...
The album's 96khz stereo track sounds almost like an analog recording !! ... a real standout is the beautiful timbre of the brass synth in the song "All The Young Girls Love Alice" ... The emotion conveyed in "I've Seen That Movie Too" is almost too-moving ... This album just drips with lyricism ...
However, the real treat here is the surround mix ... The synths that blare from the center channel of "Funeral For A Friend" (the opening track) are a real ear-opener ... They foreshadow something really-special to come ... This is some of the best surround-mixing I've heard period ... The engineers basically created a new piece of art from a classic album ... And the clarity is astounding [that's only in 48khz !!]
... I discovered this album in my father's LP collection a long time ago, and it has remained one of my favorite pieces of art ... The difference in hearing the CD v. Surround Mix are like night & day ... I was actually dissapointed with the CD mix after listening to the LP for so long, but it seems that this album has finally gotten it's digital justice ! ... If you love the CD, you will adore this Mix ... Do yourself a favor, and put it on your list !! ...
