Our Take

Electric Light Orchestra's "Time" is a shimmering delight of 80s synth-pop nostalgia, complete with soaring vocals, catchy hooks, and more futuristic bleeps and bloops than you can shake a keytar at. Jeff Lynne's signature fusion of rock and orchestral elements is on full display here, transporting listeners to a time when shoulder pads were as big as the music itself.

From the infectious opener "Prologue" to the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Ticket to the Moon," every track on "Time" is a masterclass in blending the past with the future. The pounding drums and pulsating synths of "Twilight" will have you dancing like it's 1981 all over again, while the celestial harmonies of "Rain Is Falling" will leave you floating in a sea of pure sonic bliss.

But it's not all sunshine and synths on "Time." The melancholic undertones of tracks like "The Lights Go Down" and "21st Century Man" add depth and complexity to an album that could easily have coasted on its retro appeal alone.

In the end, "Time" is a timeless classic that will have you reaching for your neon leg warmers and crimping iron faster than you can say "totally tubular." So go ahead, dig out that old cassette player, press play, and let Electric Light Orchestra take you on a journey through the spaciest sounds of the 80s. It's time well spent.

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.
