Review
Man, let me tell you about ELO's "A New World Record." This album is a real game-changer for the band. Jeff Lynne and the crew really hit their stride with this one, cranking out some of their most memorable tunes. It's like they took all the best parts of their sound and dialed it up to eleven.
You've got tracks like "Telephone Line" that'll tug at your heartstrings, and "Livin' Thing" that'll have you grooving in your seat. And don't even get me started on "Rockaria!" - it's like they threw opera and rock 'n' roll in a blender and somehow it came out tasting amazing. The whole album is just packed with these catchy, well-crafted songs that stick in your head.
What's cool is how they recorded it, too. They bounced around from Munich to London to LA, picking up different vibes along the way. It's no wonder this album sold like hotcakes - five million copies in the first year alone! That's insane. It's the kind of record that reminds you why ELO was such a big deal in the '70s. They weren't just making music; they were pushing boundaries and having a blast doing it. - Preston
