Too Low for Zero
Too Low for Zero (stylized as 2 ↓ 4 0), released in 1983, is the seventeenth studio album release by Elton John. The album marked a comeback for John, whose previous four albums had failed to yield many enduring international hit singles, and had disappointing sales compared to his string of hit records released during the first half of the 1970s. -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
The best tracks on the new album demonstrate John and Taupin’s canny ability to synthesize hit pop tunes.
-
BBC
Thoroughly entertaining throughout, and the return to form Elton John required.
-
All Music
While this may not be as rich as his classic early period, it's a terrific record, an exemplary illustration of what a veteran artist could achieve in the early '80s.
-
Subjective Sounds
Overall, Too Low For Zero is an excellent album, but it is most certainly a mixed bag of extraordinary and mediocre.
-
Daily Vault
Too Low For Zero is one of the few albums in the '80s that would find Elton John and Bernie Taupin on the same page.
-
AZ Central
John’s last great album until 2001’s “Songs from the West Coast.”
-
Rock NYC
Some fair to middling not 1970s but not bad songs.
-
Record Collector Mag
The very epitome of For Fans Only then, but if you’re feeling flush, it’s undeniably impressive.
-
Clem's Music Reviews
One of the all time best.

Music Tap
“Too Low for Zero” was his best album of the Geffen years.
