Free Music Review: One of the greatest pop albums ever
Hit: 5 Stars
If music has done one thing bad in the last twenty years or so, it's been the devolving of pop music - not just whatever is ranked by Billboard, but the kind of music that the Beatles and Beach Boys perfected, and latter outfits recorded that were much catchier and memorable than the bland dreck we hear today.
Jeff Lynne is one of rock's most gifted and criminally underrated singer-songwriters. Absurdly prolific and multifaceted, Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra dominated FM pop radio in their heyday, and for good reason; Lynne was and is the best pop songwriter right behind Paul McCartney and John Lennon's most accessible work, and that's stellar company. Lynne has worked with McCartney, too, on the excellent "Flaming Pie", one of Paul's best solo offerings.
Back to ELO, the trademark orchestral sound that never sunk to the preposterous levels of Yes or ELP, made lots of great tunes, among them "Evil Woman", "Strange Magic", "Telephone Line" and the entire double album "Out Of The Blue", easily one of the greatest pop albums ever.
Aside from the hits "Turn To Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman" and "Mr. Blue Sky", "Out of the Blue" is stunning. It's beautiful, it rocks, and leaves you wondering how one person was capable of writing such a variety of tunes with no outside help. "The Whale" is a spacey instrumental, "Starlight" is a first rate mellow tune that could easily have come from "Magical Mystery Tour", and the suite "Concerto For a Rainy Day" that culminates with "Mr. Blue Sky" is a masterpiece.
Maybe today's audience won't get this music, since so few modern stars can remotely come close to this talent, except for Beck, Porcupine Tree or David Gilmour, who really isn't new, but has enjoyed enormous staying power. But for those hungry for what the best pop rock had to offer, "Out of the Blue" is a must have. Please don't let this CD stop being manufactured!
