Rock of the Westies
Rock of the Westies is the tenth studio album by English musician Elton John, released in October 1975. As with Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Rock of the Westies debuted on the US Billboard 200 chart at No. 1, the only two albums at that time to have done so. It was less successful in the artist’s home territory of the UK, where it reached No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart. Robert Christgau ranked it as No. 7 on his list of the best albums of 1975. -Wikipedia

Rolling Stone
Listening uncovers songs that seem scarcely complete.

Subjective Sounds
Rock Of The Westies, while not John's most creative endeavour, remains underrated and most likely got lost in the minds and hearts of music lovers.
-
All Music
Remains a strong and worthwhile entry that also set the stage for its follow-up, Blue Moves.

Blog Critics
Rock Of The Westies was Elton John's eighth number one release in a row and concluded one of the greatest succession of albums in music history.

Rock of the Westies represented hard-core kick-ass rock ‘n’ roll at its finest.

Something Else Reviews
Elton John’s unfairly criticized Rock of the Westies deserves another listen.

Classic Rock Review
There’s still enough about Rock of the Westies that is good and holy, and it would be a good album to possess if you really like his earlier stuff. Just make sure and don’t listen to the bonus tracks.
