| | Electric Light Orchestra - Face the Music (Album Review) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Part of the problem with Face the Music was that, in order to meet commercial demands, founder Jeff Lynne was stretched too thinly as he pushed himself to write new material in the brief moments of downtime in Electric Light Orchestra’s rigorous touring schedule. |
 | | Recently remastered, Electric Light Orchestra’s Face the Music has been augmented with a quartet of bonus tracks, including an instrumental arrangement of Waterfall, the edited version of Strange Magic that was released as a single, and a skeletal incarnation of Fire on High. |
 | | While Face the Music may have achieved platinum-level sales, the outing as a whole hasn’t aged well, and it also remains too uneven to be considered one of ELO’s finer efforts. |
