The opening of the first album of the greatest band of all time. It sets the mood for the rest of their discography.
Absolutely fantastic at every moment. I tend to prefer BiA and CotC, though.
It's like BiA but with an almost darker tone, with School, and Bloody Well Right covering corruption, to my understanding.
One of the first albums I seriously listened to (Other than DSOTM), and what a great one to start listening to.
Forget ELO's time, this is the greatest masterpiece in all of music.
its so whimsical, happy, and nostalgic. It just makes me want to lay down with a hot chocolate and watch some christmas specials with my family
It amazes me this album was released in '69. Best prog rock album ive heard so far.

"@masivnipero full album listening isn't how I typically listen to stuff, just specifically when I am rating stuff on AOTY that is the "arbitrary rule" I set for myself."
On Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee
"@masivnipero I understand your point but when we're talking about albums as a medium generally the "experience" being rated here is based on how the album feels to listen to in full, one sitting. With this one it got more repetitive near the end and that was mainly due to the length"
