Topic: ELO - On The Third Day Posted: August 17 2015 at 09:46 |
When I first heard this one a year or two ago, I wasn't really a fan. But I just started listening to it again a few days ago and I started to really like it! What do you think of this album? My favorite tracks are Ocean Breakup/King of the Universe, Daybreaker, Mah-Mah Belle, Dreaming of 4000, and In The Hall of the Mountain King!

Love this album !! Dreaming Of 4000, Daybreaker (Tandy's Moog gets me every time), side 1 almost feels like a suite. What an album

In Bluebird..... I'm sure Lynne says 'they just don't mean a f**king thing' whilst the lyrics inside the gatefold say 'goddamn' thing ??

I think it's an amazing album. I always loved their sound when they recorded with the two cellists and violinist as opposed to the full string orchestra they used from Eldorado onwards. They sort of had a more "raw" sound back in those days; loved Tandy's Moog work throughout the album.
