It is over.

That was an album of two halves. The first, apart from the opening track, was mostly forgettable. The second didn't find ELO at their very best but does feature two absolute belters from them and finds them on the brink of transition from late 70s Disco act to early 80s Synth act.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

It was too soundtracky, it need the rolladisco dancing to accompany the music, especially side 1. yes

It's like the Carousel scene in Logan's Run - but with roller skates. scared

It might seem strange to some - indeed many - but that has brought me to tears.

1980.

Hard times.
