Electric Light Orchestra – On the Third Day (CD, 1973, Epic/Legacy)
Electric Light Orchestra’s On the Third Day marks a bold leap into the band’s signature fusion of rock and symphonic grandeur. Led by Jeff Lynne, the album showcases the early evolution of ELO’s lush arrangements, layered harmonies, and experimental soundscapes.
Opening with the dynamic “Ocean Breakup / King of the Universe,” the album flows seamlessly through a suite of interconnected tracks that highlight Lynne’s growing ambition as a songwriter and producer. Standouts include the driving “Ma-Ma-Ma Belle,” featuring Marc Bolan on guitar, and the sweeping “Showdown,” a soulful anthem that became one of ELO’s first major hits.
Tracklist:
On the Third Day stands as a turning point in ELO’s catalog — the moment their classical rock fusion crystallized into a sound that would define the decade.
