Even after almost 30 years, this album stands on its own. We are not quite quite sure what inspired Elton to produce such a wonderful album. All that I can think after looking back on this album is that he knows how to paint the words in a song. The only hit that ever got any play in the United States from this album was Someone Saved My Life Tonight, but I can't even remember the last time that I ever just listened to one song from this Album. The entire album is a masterpiece. Thanks Elton. 5/5 PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS BY VOTING. THANKS.
This is not one of Elton's best albums but its still an Elton John classic all the way. I like a good portion of this album. Mainly the "filler" cuts on the album such as "Writing," "(Gotta Get A)Meal Ticket," and of course the title track, "Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy." This album was short on singles which is what I like because one tends to get "burn-out" after so may years of hearing the hits. I decided to purchase this album/CD for the memories it brings back while listening to some great filler tracks.
Simply an all around amazing album. This kind of music is timeless and any true fan of music has to at the very least come around and appreciate what has been done on this album. Give this album one listen and you won't regret it and you likely give it another go. Even if you know nothing about Elton John's music you should give this a shot.

One of the first albums of elton john i ever listened to as a kid that my sister bought. as time passed and music changed i never forgot how this album sounded with a needle!! it was the first c.d. i ever bought around 1990 and to this day still have it. he has never replicated the country to rock album to this day! as he and bernie were in there ultimate prime as a team when this album was produced. Alot of people only remember this album for one song!!! the whole thing was great!! from beginning to end....still to this day it doesnt get the just deserve it was due!! Captain Fantastic is no doubt one of the finest albums he and bernie ever recorded!! and i will keep in my collection for the rest of my life!!
