Released in the same year as Shazam but what a difference. No more 60's psychedelia and pop, this is heavier and more adventureous output. On one hand, the addition of Lynne to the line-up and increase of brass instrumentation strongly attracts my attention here, on the other hand, high number of proto rock'n'roll'/metal numbers puts me off. The attempt to blend cello/oboe/wind instruments with ultra-heavy rock'n'roll tracks doesn't blend well. "What" used to be my favourite track although it is a bit repetitive, but the first track, then Brontosaurus and the second Lynne's number are also worth the admission. If you are into ELO and/or progressive side of the Move, you should start here.
