Electric Light Orchestra continued on their winning Top 40 ways with the release of
Discovery. Now pared down to the basic four-piece unit,
Jeff Lynne continued to dominate the band and they still got their hits (this time around it was the smash "Don't Bring Me Down"). Elsewhere on the disc there was, of note, "Last Train to London" and "Confusion." Though
Discovery charted well, it was becoming obvious that
ELO were starting to run themselves out of useful
Beatles hooks with which to fuel their hit-making machine.
