Typical Jeff

Review Score: (8/10)
So what do the Traveling Wiburys, recent Tom Petty, George Harrison, and ELO have in common? Jeff Lynne. I would have liked for this to have been the main 4 of ELO for the past 2 decades, but in all reality, Jeff Lynne is self-sufficient when it comes to producing quality music. This CD is a little edgeier than typical ELO albums, a little more rhythm and blues, a little less orchestration.

If you like Kid Rock, REM, Aerosmith, or most of the other pop/rock stuff out today, you probably wont like this CD. If you like good harmony, pretty melody, catchy hooks, cool bridges, and originally crafted music, this CD is the best so far this year.
