Our Take

ELO, otherwise known as Electric Light Orchestra, are back with their album "Balance of Power," and let me tell you, it's a wild ride from start to finish.

The opening track, "Heaven Only Knows," kicks things off with its catchy melodies and signature ELO harmonies. It's like being transported back to the 80s, but in a good way. Jeff Lynne's vocals soar over the synths and guitars, creating a euphoric sonic landscape that will have you dancing around your living room faster than you can say "Mr. Blue Sky."

But don't get too comfortable, because tracks like "So Serious" and "Getting to the Point" bring the funk and attitude that we've come to expect from ELO. The bass lines are groovy, the drums are tight, and the overall vibe is just plain cool.

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Tracks like "Endless Lies" and "Without Someone" take a darker turn, exploring themes of love and loss with haunting melodies and introspective lyrics. It's a nice change of pace that adds depth to the overall listening experience.

Overall, "Balance of Power" is a strong addition to ELO's discography, showcasing their versatility and musical prowess. So grab your neon leg warmers, crank up the volume, and get ready to experience a journey through time and sound with Electric Light Orchestra.

About the artist

Electric Light Orchestra

Electric Light Orchestra, or ELO for short, are the brainchild of Jeff Lynne, a man with more creativity in his moustache than most have in their entire bodies. Formed in Birmingham in 1970, ELO have become synonymous with their unique fusion of rock, pop, and classical music, creating a sound that can only be described as "majestic af." Lynne's songwriting prowess is unmatched, crafting intricate arrangements that soar and swirl like a symphony on steroids. Hits like "Mr. Blue Sky" and "Don't Bring Me Down" have solidified ELO as one of the greatest bands of their generation, a sentiment echoed by anyone with an ounce of taste. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with a spaceship stage setup that rivals even the most elaborate of Broadway productions. Lynne's voice may not hit the same high notes as it did in the '70s, but his musicianship is as sharp as ever, leading a band of top-tier talent through their extensive catalogue with finesse and flair. With a discography that spans decades and genres, ELO have proven themselves to be true musical chameleons, adapting and evolving without ever losing their signature sound. Whether you're a diehard fan or a casual listener, one thing is for certain: ELO are a force to be reckoned with, a sonic powerhouse that continues to inspire and delight audiences worldwide. Long live the Electric Light Orchestra.
