Reviews Customer Reviews for No Answer super thing Rating: I have a theory that every great group's first album must be at least worth listening once. This album is no exeption, more so-it is worth listening 1000 times or more(if you will live long enough).
Customer Reviews for No Answer Cd pop perfection Rating: Wow, right from the very beginning the seeds were planted for the classic ELO "commercial symphony" sound combined with dreamy and highly memorable rock and roll hooks. I'm really surprised the band was already showing major signs of life right from the start. Usually the first album gives the listener hints of what's yet to come, but apparently these guys were already perfectly aware of their style. Not nearly as heavy and muddy as those old Move albums either (which neither bothers or excites me- ELO is just something different).
"Look at me Now" sounds like it would fit in perfectly with ANY of the classic ELO albums from the mid to late 70's, and so does "Nellie Takes Her Bow" with its classical atmosphere. I love that song in particular.
"Mr. Radio" wouldn't sound out of place on an album such as Out of the Blue. I love it. This is a really solid album. These guys must have known that mixing pop hooks with classical influences and utilizing pretty violin lines had never been done before. A band that knew exactly which direction they were going to take their career. They were destined to be a major success, and that would prove true just a few years later. You really can't go wrong with this fantastic debut.
