Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Japanese-only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) paper sleeve pressing of this classic album from the British singer/songwriter and entertainer, originally released in 1971. SHM-CDs can be played on any audio player and delivers unbelievably high-quality sound. You won't believe it's the same CD! Universal. 2008.
Amazon.com essential recording:
Named for a cut that originally appeared on his Tumbleweed Connection album, Madman Across the Water yielded some of Elton John's earliest AOR staples. "Tiny Dancer," like the previous "Your Song," was introduced and carried by John's masterful piano composition. The song's sense of longing also employed the falsetto chorus that would become as much of a trademark as his costumes. "Levon," another entry into the John/Taupin "ballad of" category, is one of their finest pieces. The orchestration gives the song not only its sense of foreboding, but also its release of tension as the song ends. "Rotten Peaches" became a favorite, as did "Holiday Inn." There's also a different interpretation of the title track than appeared on Tumbleweed Connection. --Steve Gdula

This is one of Elton's masterpieces. The combination of Elton's compositions, Bernie's lyrics, and Paul Buckmaster's well crafted arrangements make this an essential purchase for any Elton John fan. Much has already been said about "Levon" and "Tiny Dancer" (and Paul's efforts stand out on those two tracks) but two gems that deserve more attention are "Holiday Inn" and "Indian Sunset". "Holiday Inn has some nifty sitar on it, and "Indian Sunset" is one of Bernie's most intense lyrics of that era. ... Read More

The best three songs from this nine song collection are on the box set. Strip away those three and the rest of "Madman" ranges from album cuts that do no damage to rotten exercises in filler. Were I to pluck a fourth track for the box set it would probably be the album closer, "Goodbye".
That's not to say that the box set snaps up all desirable Elton John tracks. "Tumbleweed Connection" is an excellent album, much more consistent than this one, and is woefully underrepresented considering ... Read More

Two words should do it: Classic Elton. But I'm a man of many words, so... The first album I ever bought - back when there was ONLY vinyl - was Elton's Honky Chateau. That started a love affair that I thought would never end. Unfortunately, it ended 15 or more years ago when Elton seemed to stop trying, but everything up to and including "Reg Strikes Back" has amazed me. As for this disc, there's a reason that "Tiny Dancer" and "Levon" still get constant radio play - they are totally awesome. But my ... Read More

The standout track on this album for me is the incomparable "Levon". This track alone is worth buying the entire CD for - because it so powerfully complements the rest of the CD. "Levon" manages to be a brightly orchestrated, upbeat sounding pop song that is absolutely haunting after a good listen. This is a complex, intricate song with amazing strings and percussion, topped with Elton's driving piano and a slightly understated vocal, if anything Elton ever sings could be called understated. Bernie's lyrics ... Read More

MATW is EJ's and Bernie Taupin's best work by far, with melodies and harmonies which are by turns gorgeous, startling, powerful and delicate. Bernie's lyrics, which at other times could come off like ponderous faux-profundity, here seem perfect. These are not typical Top-40 pop songs, yet you can sing along with them...and want to. Of course "Tiny Dancer" is one of the most achingly beautiful and deeply passionate love songs ever written, and is today deservedly a standard. "Levon"'s story about class and familial ... Read More
