Released in March 1986, Balance of Power is the final studio album by the classic lineup of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), led by Jeff Lynne. The album features the singles “Calling America,” “So Serious,” and “Getting to the Point.” Marked by a cleaner, more electronic sound, it reflects ELO’s adaptation to mid-1980s synthpop production while retaining their melodic and orchestral roots. Serving as a transitional record, Balance of Power closed the band’s original era with polished craftsmanship and introspective songwriting.
