Your latest reviews - E.L.O : Greatest album ever recorded
ELO's Time is the single greatest album in the history of popular music. You would think it would be all downhill after the stellar and glorious opener, "Twilight." But every single song on the album maintains the high-level set by the opener. Just what ARE the chords Jeff Lynne is playing on Twilight? How does he make this thing work? It sounds like it is from another place, another planet. What zone was Lynne in when he was conceiving, arranging, and performing this? Did anyone get this on video in the studio? My goodness, this is so good it is scary.
Lynne can take a simple chord progression, such as the one in "The Way Life's Meant to Be" in the key of Bflat, and turn it into a masterpiece. He adds layers and embellishments that are the logically PERFECT fit for the track. Every single note is in place; none wasted, none lost, just perfection. And the raucous "Hold on Tight" is, well, another perfect rock and roll tune. The sludgy guitars with soaring vocals, the great French verse, a beat that kicks ass. I mean, what was Lynne on when he conceived this thing? It is beautiful and stunning. There will never be a more perfect assemblage of songs and performances than you have right here, with ELO's Time. It is magnificence raised to the 41st power.
Do yourself a favor when you pick up this CD. Find some quiet time where you know you will not be interrupted. Put on the headphones, and take in the ambience, every single musical note and vocal styling, of this masterpiece. It is a stunning accomplishment. It is the single greatest album ever recorded. Mr. Lynne, congratulations.
