Album Notes & Community Reviews
Kicking off with the colossal, painstakingly overdubbed vocal brilliance of 'I'm Not in Love', 10cc's third studio album is a staggering display of conceptual pop-rock genius. 'The Original Soundtrack' is a wonderfully eclectic, intensely progressive pop triumph, marrying remarkably melodic, highly playful art-rock experimentation with their signature brand of deeply sarcastic, satirical British humor.
