First Impressions on The Captain And The Kid

there's a lot of stuff on the web about the new album (Basic info: see below). First of all, there's the lyrics on eltonography.com.

First impression: Good with exceptions.
Now eltonjohn.com has sneak-peeked two songs, "The Bridge" and "Postcards From Richard Nixon". I have checked out the first one already, and the sound is awesome. A grandload of Piano and a brilliant voice give the rather weak lyrics of this song a really strong intonation.

More to be added about Richard Nixon later today.

___UPDATE___
It's been released a while ago now, and I still listen to it frequently. Many opinions can be found in the alt.fan.elton-john newsgroup, mine as well.
Long story cut short : The album rocks!
