Product Description

Time takes its cues more from such bands as the Alan Parsons Project and Wings than from Jeff Lynne's fascination with Pepper-era Beatles. Sure, all the electronic whirrs and bleeps are present and accounted for, and Time did spawn hit singles in "Hold on Tight" and "Twilight," but on the average, ELO had begun to get too stuck on the same structure and content of their releases. "The Way Life's Meant to Be" echoes very early ELO hits like "Can't Get It Out of My Head," and the "Prologue" and "Epilogue" segments try and bring about a unifying concept that doesn't quite hold up upon listening all the way through. Time proves to be competent ELO but not great ELO.

HMVレビューで今作の説明はほぼなされているが...

投稿日:2008/12/03 (水)

HMVレビューで今作の説明はほぼなされているが、正直、「きらびやかさ」とか回り舞台のような「目まぐるしさ」の無いELOの音は、持続して聴けない。 作中、M1〜M2だけが従来路線のバツグンの出来で、後の印象はいまひとつ。 今作と次作の方が好みというリスナーが存在するのは承知だが、個人的には、音揺れなど(*M1とM2の間にさえ存在する)、作りの荒さの方が耳につく。
