Elton John's 21 at 33 could easily have just been called "B sides" Or let’s jam 21 albums down your throat in a short period of time. The fact that he was on his 21st album by the age of 33 lends to the belief he was just churning out albums to satisfy a record company but not his fans. Elton has been brilliant with many of his songs over the decade, but tis fell short , by a lot. I couldn't even find one song worthy of hearing a second time. The melodies were unmoving and the lyrics pedestrian. We are lucky to know this was not his norm. I would be more forgiving if this was just him being experimental with his style and going outside his comfort zone, but again, to me this seemed like the B side of his more enjoyable hits we've grown to love and appreciate. Rating it a 2. I found not one song worthy of being distinguished as the best of the album
