Nov 14, 2015Was never going to be Mr Blue Sky but refreshing to have some new material from Jeff Lynne and ELO. Great melodies and long may it continue. Can't wait to see live in 2016.
-
Nov 14, 2015Melodic pop songs, with endless hooks. Just brilliant. Lynne must have all of those great hooks and bits from the history of music stored away in his head.

Dec 15, 2015The best of these 10 tidy songs are fun and uncannily recognizable, even the first time you hear them, as songs by Lynne. The worst are still uncanny, but less hooky, and earn the biggest insult you can throw at any ELO song: They're colorless.

Dec 11, 2015Few of the new tracks reach that level of greatness [of his classic hits], and flimsy lyrics mar a couple. But several worm their way into the ear endearingly.

Dec 3, 2015The shortcomings of this DIY approach sometimes show up in the lyrics. In contrast to ELO's early prog-rock sprawl, Alone is bracingly succinct both in words and music.
