Review: After showcasing their early years with a collection of tracks from 1975-1977, ELO turn to the other end of their illustrious career and a re-release for Moment of Truth, the 1994 album from spinoff project ELO Part II. This album showcases a brilliant 'Overture,' reflecting a successful return to the El Dorado-era sound - a feat Jeff Lynne struggled to recreate after first finding success with it. The record features memorable pop tracks such as 'Breakin' Down the Walls,' 'Power of a Million Lights,' 'One More Tomorrow,' and the standout 'Love Or Money,' up there with their finest melodies. Rock-influenced songs like 'Don't Wanna,' 'Whiskey Girls,' and 'So Glad You Said Goodbye' add variety and 'Underture' closes the album on a very high note, capturing the band's classic grandeur. This release offers a satisfying return to their pop and symphonic roots and is worth a listen for ELO fans.
