The Start of ELOs Classic Era — But What's with that Horrific Cover?!
ELO started to catch their groove on this album. Nothing here is as glorious as their later classics — "So Fine," "Turn to Stone," and "Evil Woman" to name a few — “Showdown” and “Ma-Ma-Ma Belle” are among the group’s better efforts, and the rest of the album shows their promise as one of the premiere bands of the post-Beatles era. Few artists were better at blending pop sensibilities with progressive bombast than 1970s Jeff Lynne, and this is where it started for him and ELO.Now about that horrific cover. It could be the most inept excuse for album art of any major artist. Ever. It's not just that it's ugly — there have been plenty of ugly album covers. It's that it looks like they didn't care or even try. Black background and two pieces of horrible clip art. That's it. Granted, the band shot on the original cover wasn't exactly fine art, but at least it made sense, was done professionally, and was of the era. On this one they didn't even bother to blend in the square, horribly out of focus photo of Lynne's face. It literally looks like they created it in Microsoft Word. Whoever did this (I can't imagine Lynne had anything to do with it) should be embarrassed to have put it on the market. I almost considered deducting one star because of it.Buy this for the music, then print out a copy of the original cover and stick it in the case. There. Fixed.
