I listened to the whole of A New World Record for the first time today. Of course I knew the hits, which comprise about half of it.

I found I liked the lesser known tracks better, especially "Above the Clouds".

Of the big hits, "Livin' Thing" is the best. I never liked "Telephone Line", with that corny ring tone that got old very quickly.
I do think that Out of the Blue was a step up, and probably has the best combination of songwriting quality and "accessibility".
