"At last, a deluxe edition, which basically makes this version obsolete, is finally available. Both nights at the Lyceum in London are now featured on an excellent release. The gigs are fairly short (first night, 60 mins, second night, 70 mins) but that's just a small quibble. What matters is that..." [+] Reply

"Why are people disappointed with this album? For me it is almost at par with Crime of the Century and above Breakfast in America. In songs like "A sopabox opera", "Another man's woman" or "Just a normal day" Hodgson and Davies keep a dialogue in which their voices shine between the piano, the vio..." [+] Reply

But what really made this album unusual was the mixing of heavy rock with sweet, orchestral ballads. The album truly sounds like a..." [+] Reply

"I disagree that this is not a consistent album. In fact, it’s one of their most consistent. Everything is high quality, except for the cheesy “Down Home Town.” “Strange Magic,” “Evil Woman” and “Fire on High” are among the best things ELO ever did, and some of the catchiest, most innovative recor..."

"Discounting, avalon, I would say this is the last great Roxy Music album. After this they would slip into that slightly safe and dull white soul sound, something that would have been unthinkable up to now. Anyway, siren, is superb. Love is the drug, both ends burning, and, just another high, are ..." [+] Reply

"The second half of this album has a specific melancholy mood that I have never heard in any other music. It evokes a sense of loss without approaching any catharsis." Reply

"This is a classic album still worth a listen. Cold Etyhl is a Cooper classic. The WTMN tour set the standard for most rock theatrical shows that followed. All hard rock fans need this classic in their collection." Reply

"the polar opposite of trout mask.. only 4 or 5 notes in the piece, could be construed as simplistic, but it has such a hypnotic effect.. and each time a new bit of instrumentation comes in.. ahhhh.... fuck, i'm getting weirder by the day." Reply

"If you want to hear a completely different sound that will blow your mind, give this album a try. Haunting harmonies that sound like the echo from distant centuries. Start with Polegnala e Todora (Love Song)" Reply
