Listening diary 9th June 2021: Electric Light Orchestra - A New World Record (symphonic pop rock, 1976)

I'm not sure if I've ever completely enjoyed an ELO album, which reinforces their reputation as one of the true singles bands, but this one is almost threatening to change that. I didn't think much of it at all at first, but I've found a few of its melodies earworming into my head at inappropriate times, and after a bit I'll concede that "Telephone Line" at least is one of their best songs. This is also a far more digestible length than their other classic albums, so I feel it could grow on me more still.

6.0 (3rd listen)
