Hmm, as card-carrying member #1 (hey, where'd everybody else go?) of the
Jeff Lynne fan club...I've got to rise to his defense here and......"oh,
forget it, too damn tired!"
I like him even though <insert very low whisper> there was a certain
"sameness". However, it's a sameness that I have always found to be
pleasing to these ears.
And YES!....I found _Information_ to be a wonderful departure for Mr.
Edmunds. I'll admit that I wouldn't be nearly as fond of Dave E. if
each/every album had sounded like that one.
