As a casual reader, this article confused me on a couple of points.
Thanks! – Kerαunoςcopia◁ galaxies 21:12, 22 March 2010 (UTC) Is the title track "madman across." about "The turn of the screw" By Henry James? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.65.208.154 ( talk) 12:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
As a prog rock (and Elton John) fan I cannot admit prog rock to be the main genre of this album. Maybe soft rock or pop rock can be more appropriate. No strange time signatures, no lengthy solos,... The current citation for the genre is not correct so I would suggest this genre change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.38.223.25 ( talk) 15:37, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
The article refers at least twice to this being EJ's fourth studio album. According to the sequence laid out in the "chronology" info box, as well as the information provided in the articles on the individual albums, this is his fifth studio album. I had edited the article to reflect that, but reverted the edit after seeing that the numbering of subsequent albums seems to follow the idea that "Madman" is indeed the fourth. Maybe it's a mistake... maybe it's a "UK releases vs US releases" thing, given that Empty Sky wasn't released in the US until '75... but whatever the reason I felt that I am not qualified to change an entire string of entries.

The Wikipedia discography says this was his only album released in 1971. JGWatts ( talk) 12:12, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
