When I first listened to this one, I was a little disappointed; found it cheezy and, just not too good. I was unhappy that they moved their sound from faux-60's to faux 70's/80's. But, upon further listens, this one has really grown on me. It's just everything that an Apples album should be -- fun and hooky -- and brings a smile to my face every time I put it on.

I know that it's gotten a bit of a lukewarm reception (if now downright hostile) from a lot of the rest of you, so I am curious as to whether or not this one has grown on you as well.

Best ELO album since "Out of the Blue".

As a long player, it doesn't quite measure up to the last few. But some of the individual tracks (ie: "Dance Floor") are fantastic.
