 Days of Optimism, Magic and Wonder February 26, 2010

1967. The Beatles were working on Sergeant Pepper, the Rolling Stones were getting busted and going psychedelic, Pink Floyd were wowing them down at the UFO, Timothy Leary was advising the world's youth to "turn on, tune in, drop out," art was exploding with extravagant flashes of colour, light shows were swirling, flowers were for wearing, life was for living and to be young was a treasure and an opportunity. Magic was in the air. And in a studio in London, the five members of the Moody Blues gathered to fashion a portion of that magic into an album the like of which the world had never heard. The result was this still remarkable collaboration of rock band and orchestra, featuring a collection of strong songs and musical themes, outstanding among which is, of course, their hit single, 'Nights In White Satin.' The latter is widely recognised as one of the best singles in the history of recorded music. The whole album is one of the finest artefacts of a revolutionary musical era. In the current age of cynicism it's fashionable to dismiss the Moody Blues as limp, lame, hippy has-beens. Personally, I rate them as among the all-time great British rock bands and find their albums still fresh, enjoyable and relevant after all these years. This album stands up remarkably well, taking us through a day from sunrise to night with every note, phrase and lyric perfectly judged to create what is arguably the first themed rock album. The quality of the musicianship from the band members is amazing. This was a band who could genuinely play real instruments. Their voices combine beautifully too. A true classic, still capable of rekindling the magic of a golden era of optimism and wonder.
This is the Moodies album that you, me, and everyone else should own. It's inspired and orchestral! A grand statement! November 18, 2009

"Days of Future Passed", is the most succesful album of the Moody Blues. This is a concept album, and the songs describes different parts in a day. Album has a cool cover, too. This album really made them famous.. It's a amazing package of amazing melodies and lyrics. Lots of the props goes to Justin Hayward, whose vocal performance is just fantastic. Especially in "Nights in White Satin"..
Album starts with amazing "Introduction", The Day Begins. Wonderful instrumental takes me high right away. But I think these songs are a one totality. It's stupid to listen just few songs and skip the others. I love every one of the songs, but I have to mention one which is just something supernatural. "Nights in White Satin". Probably the greatest song to come from 1960's and one of my favourites, the Vocals, lyrics, melodies, length and everything are just perfect.
The Moody Blues is really a unique band. You'll recognize their songs right away.
In this album, you can hear the balance between the vocalist Justin Hayward and the other band members. Band is rock'n'roll oriented, but Justin Hayward is more interested about other styles of music. Rock'n'roll collides with, classical music pop and everything like that. One thing is sure: The result is wonderful.
One of the most magnificent albums in the history of music.
A true classic August 9, 2010

This album of the Moody Blues is a true classic and sounds as great today as it did when it was first released. It is an original and imaginative musical journey through the day from dawn to dusk. This is a must hear album from a truly great band.
DOFP - Really a Classic June 1, 2009

I am a huge Moodies fan and have just about all their releases. This is the first of the 7 major classics, and I believe I have had it in all formats - LP, Cassette, CD, DTS Surround and now SACD. The SACD is the best ever! If you are hesitating about getting it, don't hesitate, the extra tracks are worth it even if you don't have an SACD player. And if you get an SACD player and have reasonable equipment, you WILL hear the improvement. The music is wonderful, the songs beautiful. If (unlikely) you are not well acquainted with the Moodies, this is an excellent place to start.
First of its type? February 11, 2009

This group were probably the first group to crossover between pop and classical. Besides the famous "Knights in white satin" track, there are plenty of tracks with memorable lyrics and tunes. Their voices harmonize well and this album is one of those that is ideally listened to in a darkened room with a glass of your favourite tipple with no distractions to interfere with it's rich sounds. Enjoy!
