Should not be listed as "E.L.O."

Review Score: (4/10)
The most important point of this review it to let you know that this band is not The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and Amazon is doing a great disservice to its customers by labeling it as such. This is a band led by former ELO drummer Bev Bevan and at various times in its incarnation has had a variety of former members of ELO. They call themselves "Electric Light Orchestra Part 2", though the labeling of most of their projects do not always make that clear. If you are truly a fan of the unique ELO sound that carried through their albums of the early 70's and into the 80's (and can even be heard on 2001's Zoom) then you probably will not enjoy this. That is because the unique sound of ELO was created by, sung by, and produced by Jeff Lynne (who is not a part of this outfit). However, if all you ever liked about ELO was the melding of rock and strings then perhaps you will find some enjoyment in this. As a fan of ELO since discovering them at age 11 in 1979, I personally find this recording a disappointment. In fact, I find the whole "ELO part 2" project disappointing.
