This ELO album was the transition between the majestic, classically-oriented Eldorado and the poppier, top 40 A New World Record. It contained mega hits Evit Woman and Strange Magic. It also contained the very proggy Fire On Fire, with its backward intro "The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back, turn back turn back!" Addressed to the paranoid fundamentalist Christian groups who thought they had found backward masked satanic messages on Eldorado (pu-leeese), Jeff Lynne got the last laugh. There isn't a bad song on this album. Well, I don't like Poker so much, but some declare it one of their favorites. Waterfall is a tone poem, one of Lynne's best. The range of Face the Music is much wider than any ELO album up to this point, from the country sound of Down Home Town to the ethereal beauty of One Summer Dream. This album doesn't sound dated at all despite being 42 years old. If you don't have it, get it immediately.Read full review

Great album and great sound quality!! If you have a turntable that can play records in reverse, you can finally hear the hidden message at the beginning of "Fire On High," too!
