Discovery isn"t one of the Electric Light Orchestra"s strongest albums, but it is more than redeemed by the inclusion of what is perhaps their greatest single, the massive "Don"t Bring Me Down." "Shine a Little Love" and "Confusion" are also classic ELO tracks in which synths, guitars, and orchestration merge into a finely crafted whole. Unfortunately, the Beatles pastiche of "The Diary of Horace Wimp" and the overly sentimental "Last Train to London" show that, for this world-conquering band, time was about to run out. This remastered edition of the 1979 LP includes three extra tracks, including a take on Del Shannon"s "Little Town Flirt." --Robert Burrow
