This album was a big disappointing. I've listened to it several times and it does get a bit easier to listen to. You can hear the potential in this album of what would make ELO so good in the future. This album would probably appeal to those ELO super fans.
Some reviews I had found on the internet for this album were so-so, but the price was good, so I took a chance. I was quite pleased with the sound of this album, very easy to listen to, very mellow. Very good purchase for the price.
