ON THE THIRD DAY is a thrill ride, a gutsy swing for the fences that connects on many levels. On this, ELO's third album, the vision that Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne originally had for the fusion of classical strings/arrangements with rock and roll begans to really take shape. The groundwork for the band's masterpiece follow-up album, ELDORADO, is well-laid here, as strings and electronics blend smoothly, rather than being in conflict. Richard Tandy, the band's outstanding keyboardist, really comes ... Read More
Rating:  - Dressing Gowns And Scary Clowns...
...Have absolutely nothing to do with this album.
I'll let you guess from the title what number album this is (and from the review below mine). This would be a jump ahead for the ELO as they adopt the pop sound here, but then drop it for their next album, Eldorado before picking it up again (metaphorically- probably spelt wrong) for Face The Music.
This does not men I don't like this album, in fact by rating suggests the oposite, as it is a a very good effort. Some call this a forgotten ... Read More
Rating: - On The Third Album
I would have to aggree with the other reviewers who say that Lynne's vision of what the group would eventually become starts to peak through the cracks here with this album. I really do love the first 2 E.L.O. albums for different reasons but this album shows the most development of the first 3. You're absolutely deaf if you can't here the influence of the latter period Beatles here. I'm a sucker for those slow 4/4's with ascending melodies - LOL. The arrangements are dipped in equal parts Sgt. Pepper, ... Read More
Rating: - My Favourite from ELO
Just a great album... more raw than the following albums, all of which are also great... but this just has an energy and quirkiness that lends itself to me very well. Very Beatlesesque in parts, it was no wonder that John Lennon during this era (concerning the song Showdown specifically) called ELO "Son of Beatles" or something like that... not sure if that quite applies to their later albums as much (lets not forget that they are great, but ELO had definitely developed its own unique flavour ...

Rating: - Third Time's A Charm For ELO
With their third album, 1973's "On The Third Day," the Electric Light Orchestra continued to evolve into a terrific symphonic rock group. Although their first two albums certainly have their share of gems, "On The Third Day" is, in my opinion, the band's first truly good album, with Jeff Lynne & company finally hitting their stride. Wonderful ELO tunes on this one: the classic hits "Showdown" and "Ma Ma Ma Belle," as well as other fine prog-poppers like "Ocean ... Read More
