Although
Discovery isn't one of the Electric Light Orchestra's strongest albums, it is more than redeemed by the inclusion of what is perhaps their greatest single, the massive, drum-looped pop genius of "Don't Bring Me Down". "Shine a Little Love" and "Confusion" are also both classic ELO: synths, guitars and orchestration all merging into a finely crafted whole. Unfortunately, songs such as the Beatles pastiche of "The Diary of Horace Wimp" and the overly sentimental "Last Train to London" all show that, for this world-conquering band, time was about to run out. This remastered edition includes three extra tracks, including a cover of
Del Shannon's "Little Town Flirt".
