The seven Moody Blues albums are so comforting to listen to, meditate and reflect. They had some magic going during that stretch
I'd say the Moodies saved many a soul that had stepped through the window pane and found the edge of horror. Headphones, a soft cushy couch to lay back on, the Moodies and a little time would set things "right" again.
The group is easy to dismiss by those that are shallow and just want to bang their head. This album is spiritual, heavily influenced by the Eastern musical trend of the time. Some people are afraid to ask what life is all about, are there other realms undetectable by our senses, is there an afterlife. The methods of detection might be chemical or mystical. For me it's their best album, the most committed.
When you said that you were going to let the Actor play into the Word, I was thinking “you don’t want to do that”. I smiled when you did pause and decided to do the Word and Ohm together as that is how they flow. On your next Moody’s journey, go the next album “On the Threshold of a Dream”. It has another interesting and satisfying conclusion. I love their use of poetry to link with the music.
They have sold more than 70 million albums worldwide, that's likely more than some other groups like Yes, Jethro Tull and Rush. So they are very popular.
And I think it was the critics who adored DOFP and didn't take much notice after. Their records continued to sell very well. A lot more of their range and ability was shown after DOFP.
The Albums just get better and better after this I really hope you hit them too 🔥🔥🔥
On The Threshold Of A Dream and To Our Children's Children's Children are both masterfully done concept albums.
There is something I must say, and to do so is a great risk, for fear of being exiled or even stoned. The moodies made conceptual, eastern themed music that beatles could not even dream of. The moodies were the first concert I saw, as an adult, on my own. Ever since that concert, I have kept the tradition of listening to this album on the journey home.
I believe that what you opined as an "irritating noise" i the "best way to travel" was a sound that was very familiar to folks in the 60's but totally forgotten today. That was the sound of "sputnik", the first satellite put up by Russia. That sound was played in the media quite a bit and at the time was both a wonder and a wake up call to respond to the Soviet's lead in space travel. Just a theory, but that is the way I understood it when the album first came out and I first listened to it -- rememberings of an old guy ;)
I was just going to add this -- good call!
There's one unique thing about Visions of Paradise. The flute plays the melody, and the vocals are the harmony. I'm sure there are other songs that do this, but this is the only one I'm aware of.
On this album they learn to play multi instruments so they sounded like a mini orchestra
Though I came to The Moody Blues a little late (I started my journey with them on their Seventh Sojourn), I have made up for lost time; I have all their studio albums (and one of their several live albums) on CD and I still listen to them all. Still, I know some better than others. In fact, your reactions to this album have given me a greater appreciation for it than I'd previously enjoyed. So, thank you for that.
Some of my favorite Moodies albums are actually solo projects. Indeed, along with albums like Seconds Out, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Full Sail, Chicago V, and Crime of the Century, another of my go-to comfort albums is the Hayward-Lodge collaboration, Bluejays. Ray Thomas's From Mighty Oaks is right up there as well.
This was a great beginning to my day; thanks again. And as always, carry on.
This is definitely one of my favorite Moody Blues albums. I know that some aspects of their work can be an acquired taste, but I've always enjoyed their work. I hope you do a few more of their albums in the future!
There's a Moody Blues double album called "This is the Moody Blues" which is a "best of..." compilation. It's perfect! Each song compliments the one before and it's among my favorite go to albums. For the most part, the Moody Blues didn't quite get it for me, but this album is incredible and is highly recommended to include in your catalogue.
I had that album in my college days in the 70s, and I agree it's a genuine 'best of'.
I've no doubt it misses many good tracks as well. I think they became even better after Lost Chord, they were an albums group.
@@joebloggs396 I made my own CD version of it using 2 discs and added 16 songs between sides 2 and 3 such as Voices in the Sky, Gypsy, Forever Autumn, Peak Hour, The Best Way to Travel, Lost in a Lost World, My Song.
The cassette of that album was the answer when I asked a girl in high school what tape she had in her pocket. She became my first girlfriend and helped soften this "extreme prog" snobs heart. I fell in love with her and The Moody Blues and turned her on to ELP, VdGG, Gentle Giant, Tull ect. All because of tight bell bottom jeans and a cassette. Life is indeed strange!
Love the core seven albums from "Days" through "Seventh Sojourn" ( and the Hayward/Lodge "Blue Jays" album ) These are still my go to albums when I want to take a little journey. Slip on the head phones and chill a bit. Once they resumed after the "Sojourn" hiatus, they became more commercial, and although there was the occasional song that caught my attention, I really don't go back to "Octave", "Voyager" or "Present", etc. as a whole experience . Thanks for the insightful reaction. You do always tweeze out little details that I have overlooked.
I have all core seven albums and have enjoyed them very much in the last 50 years or so.I do have a few later albums and agree that they weren't as good as their earlier wonderful efforts, but that can be said for a lot of bands, it was almost almost like they had run out of ideas, moving with the times as well affected their song writing, the music in the 70's was totally different to what was being released in the 80's. I'm just thankful for the phenomenal albums that were produced in the 70's (especially the early part of the decade) I've got a lot of later stuff too, but it's the records from 50 years ago that l play the most. Just a quick note as well, one of those bands from that era that l love is Barclay James Harvest, the "poor man's Moody Blues" not for me though! 😂
Ever since I first heard the Moody Blues, I've felt as though my spirit were linked with theirs. I've seen them many times in concert, and I do covers of them in my one-man-band kind of way, at open mics. They aren't just a band. They're a connection to the infinite.
I also like this even more then Days of Future Passed. Not to take away anything from that wonderful album. The next one, On the Threshold of a Dream is right up there too. I believe you'll have a great time with that one too. These seven albums really deserve their classic status seven fantastic journeys into a mix of fantasy and reality. I am still surprised that this band is so divisive, but "viva la difference"! Great video, enjoy the next five journeys.
The song "Are You Sitting Comfortably" from their Threshold album is alot like "Visions Of Paradise" - very soothing, and the rest of the album is also very much bedtime music.
@@bobholtzmann 'soothing' can be a simplification of some of their tracks though, sometimes a disquieting element can come through as well
Classic. I'm watching this happily as I have no tv. And it's cold here too, drinking tea
Really enjoyed watching this reaction Justin. As you say, so chill and transporting and meditative, along with musically creative and from the heart and soul.
Happy to know you are a Moodies fan and that was a lovely reaction. They are one of those bands that are absolutely necessary in musical history. I love their vibe, their sound and their philosophies and of course the rich variety of songs. I too find the beepy noise in The Best Way To Travel annoying and find it spoils a good track, but they can be forgiven and they have their reasons, I'm sure. Fave track on here, "The Actor", it's just beautiful. I don't think I can pick a favourite album by them because I see their work as a whole, just different parts scattered on separate albums, but that's just me. "To Our Children's Children's Children" next?
The next one should be On the Threshold of a Dream. No reason at all to skip it.
@@joebloggs396 You're absolutely right!. I thought JP had done that one, it was "Days Of Future Passed" and not "Threshold...", my mistake.🙃
I'm so happy that I'm a Moody Blues fan, and it's obvious from all the lovely comments that there are many others.
What a great album -- and one of the earliest great headphone albums. They really put the new 8-track studio to work! It's my number two Moody Blues album, just behind To Our Children's Children's Children. Eastern spirituality is the obvious connecting theme, and the Moodies are the first band I can think of who latched onto the idea of having a conceptual backbone to their albums (which continues on each of the "classic 7" albums.) They took the same spiritual journey that a lot of British pop stars did in 1967-68, with Mike especially embracing and internalized Indian spiritual teaching. I love the production on "Thinking is the Best Way to Travel", which is one of Mike's best songs IMO. But it's not quite as good as Justin's trio of songs on this side. Everyone shines on this album, but Justin really delivers some of his best songs ever.
Wonderful songs from all band members, Justin wrote most of my favourites, topping them all with New Horizons, one of the best songs ever!
Hi Justin. Dave from London. You asked why The Moodies polarise opinion. Maybe it's because they are at the easy listening end of prog. And that's fine by me. I love great songs and melodies, beautifully sung. Justin Hayward's tracks Voices In The Sky and The Actor are the highlights for me, and the chorus in The Actor is a ray of light, as you say. If you continue with these albums, The Best Is Yet To Come. The next, On The Threshold Of A Dream, is my favourite.
P.S. my song ref The Best Is Yet To Come is a poignant Clifford T Ward song, covered by Justin Hayward on his solo album, Moving Mountains.
They aren't just prog/psych, they can be as much folk rock. People's need to pigeon hole groups may have hurt them with some. But surely the record sales speak for themselves.
@@joebloggs396 Agreed, Joe.
the phrase (put out your problems with the cat, escape until the bell you hear ) means, you put the cat out at night and sleep until you hear the alarm bell waking you up ,thats what people did when this album came out.
LOve the Moodies. I listen to their stuff all the time. Their lyrics sound simple but are deep and make you think. I understand that some don't like the Moodies, but think some don't understand deep music so can't find a connection. I have a friend that doesn't like them because he said it makes him think and feel too deeply and he's uncomfortable doing that. LOL Great reaction!
I've loved the band for at least 50 years now. Yes their lyrics are are often deep and meaningful but what wonderful melodies that accompany those lyrics, so beautiful. Just listen to New Horizons from the Seventh Sojourn album, my favourite MB song.
Perfect analysis Justin, the albums just get better and better from here on. Personally, I think 🤔 that " Thinking is the best way to travel" is relating to astral projection and yes , the speed of thought is faster than the speed of light, ( allegedly ) a lot of band's at this time we're getting into Eastern philosophy and religion. Looking forward to your continued sojourn,(pun intended) into the Moody Blues.🤠👍👍👍
The word for the 'sensory mix-ups' referred to in The Word is 'synaesthesia'.
One of the greatest prog bands and albums, all their albums following up to and including 'Seventh Sojourn' are of the same extraordinary (and extra-terrestial!) quality. The Moodies are sometimes dismissed as not being proggy in the sense of 'no virtuosic solos', but with the quality of the songs, musicianship, production, lyrics and arrangements-who needed it? (Even then Justin as well as being a one-off singer is a great and terribly underrated guitarist I feel). With all members of the band writing and contributing their own thing also they were blessed--as were we by the results.
The train, going into your brain is departing,all aboard. "Thinking is the best way to travel", "In search of the Lost Chord". Lay back in your rail-car, the journey in your head, is not too far! The haters hate, the Moody's are not 'hard rock', their not 'progressive' enough, they sound to 'poppy'! Screw em all! Seven nearly perfect albums in a row, not many have much that to show. And they did not stop there. So hate on them ,I do not care. Peace & Love. (By the way Justin Hayward is still touring accompanied by Mike Dawes-acoustic/percussive guitarist in the Jon Gomm vein.) Again Peace.
Groups with more variety can be more interesting. And of course all of them helped write the songs.
Some people may think it's not 'hip' to be a fan of the band. Well l don't care if people think I'm the most 'unhip' person in the world, l love 'em and have done for the last 50 odd years 😅
The word you're looking for is "Magnificent" (like in their first album).
Hey, I heard what you said! (some days it is better, others don't. How cannot be?)
The beep on "Best way to travel" is part of a scenario. Just enter. The repetitive sound, isn't a flute?
(this song breaks a bit on the whole mood of the b side, positively, for it hasn't their remarkable chorus voices)
"The actor" surpasses "Nights in white satin", in emotion, or maybe it's just me. And those echo soprano voices (I think Graeme Edge has major responsability in such high notes) on the back are the heart of this song,, the highlight in a just all-light album.
You didn't notice the cello on "Om"? It's just in front of your nose! It's mixed with the mellotron when when Pinder gives place to Thomas.
Why people can't love the Moody Blues?
I just can't understand..
Well l love 'em 😅
So glad you liked this - and yes, it is better (overall) than Days of Future Passed - despite it's ground breaking greatness, many agree that it's the weakest album from their classic period. The magnificent seven, some call them, everything up through Seventh Sojourn, what a journey - I hope you will walk the whole trail. (And the first two albums from the Patrick Moraz period are worth your time too.) But wait, there's another one that must not be missed - in 1975, right in the middle of the hiatus between the classic period and the Moraz years, Justin Hayward and John Lodge cut an album as a duo called Blue Jays. I think of it as the crowning achievement of the classic period, and actually better than any of the rest. Yes, it's only half of them, but it's got a host of stellar guest artists to make up for the absence of Ray and Graham, and it's got orchestra to make up for the loss of Pinder. And it's pure Moddy Blues through and through, in it's sound.
I actually ranked their albums once, based on three measures - how many songs from each made it to my MB playlist, how many made it to my general top tracks from anyone playlist, and how many from each album are among my top favorite MB songs. Five of the seven classics ranked very highly, with between 7 and 10 tracks each making it to my MB mix, all with 4 or 5 in my top all time MB songs (Those were Chord, Threshold, Children's, Question, & Sojourn), but on Blue Jays, every one of the 11 tracks made it to my MB mix, and I also felt all belonged among best all-time MB songs. Golden from start to finish.
The Moody's had something very special, that placed them at the very top of all progressive rock spiritually, surpassed only by Yes in this regard. The whole energy and thrust of their music came straight from the heart, focused solely on the awakening and enlightenment of their listeners. (Yes, they were a few years earlier than the rest of the prog classic bands, and had a lot more folk influences, but I consider them prog grandfathers.) While all the other bands got indulgent at times with show-off noodling, joke songs, and shadow stirring, only Yes and MB were aiming straight from their hearts to ours with every track, exuding pure positivity, love, and revelation.
A Question of Balance is pretty good. Famous tracks like Question, Melancholy Man, And The Tide Rushes In. Other classics like Dawning is the Day, It's Up to You. And very good ones like How is it We are Here and Tortoise and the Hare. Wouldn't be in my bottom 2 for sure. That album helps define their mood for me. Best cover art too.
Glad you mentioned Blue Jays album. It was certainly a favorite of mine along with the M-7. During the golden age of cassette tapes I used to do so many Moody Blues/Yes mix tapes. My two favorite bands. (Beatles are never a part of any ranking for me; a class by themselves.)
You crack me up Justin...I think this is better than DOFP..🙂...
Great review,The Actor is an amazing track by Moody... always had a soft spot for this opus.
It's sooo dreamy imo.
Reminds me so much of Threshold...❤❤❤
Thanks Justin for this, it was a pleasure 🫶👍👍👍
Continuing on with my personal breakdown of the concept of the album.
Voices In The Sky:
Our Spiritual Seeker wonders where others, including animals and plants, are in their own spiritual journey and connection to The All.
The Best Way To Travel:
Here we experience the inner journey nearly taking over the Seeker's perception of bliss and possibly even pleasure. They can imagine anything, and by applying meditation techniques to it, mentally experience nearly anything. Such thinking can also be a trap, though and may distract the acolyte from spiritual progression.
Visions of Paradise:
Is there anything better than finding one's Soul Mate? The idea fits in with this journey, but for me it's a little "clumsy." I think another Justin Hayward love song was desired after Nights In White Satin, and Hayward and Thomas came up with this stunner.
The Actor:
For me, this is a combination of thoughts towards both one's Soul Mate and The All. The desire to be with both can be all encompassing. The lack of need to go anywhere, as the Truth "comes so easily" via inner meditation. The Actor refers to the public face one puts on for the mundane world, but which can be dropped when seeking inner bliss.
The Word:
The summation of The Journey, up until attaining Nirvana.
Om:
Nirvana is attained, as you ascertained, both via the Inner Journey and in every aspect of the Seeker's mundane life without.
I'm really glad you ran The Word/Om together, rather than The Actor/The Word...
Thinking is the best way to travel was my favorite cut, reminds me of. what Lennon was trying for in, Across the Universe. it had that sputnik sound in the middle section. A solid. Moody Blues album. high on my favorites
Hey Justin ~ You know, some days you try me. This is one of those days. I understand it's just your opinion, but there is no way Chord is better than Days. I say this as a massive Moody Blues fan, who LOVES this album, especially The Actor/The Word/Om. Days is just on another level entirely. Many years ago, my best friend was creating an album of music for his wife, and he got myself and 3 other good friends of ours to play on it, with myself on guitar, while he sang the songs. Except for one of them. He asked me to sing The Actor. We recorded it at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood, and it was a gift and a privilege to have my voice on his record singing one of my all time favorite songs. I have never understood how anyone could dislike the Moody Blues. One of the greatest progressive/psychedelic/melodic bands ever. I've seen them quite a few times, and it's always a wonderfully fun, and beautiful show. ❤
Beautiful stuff! The next album in sequence is my all-time Moodies' favourite, and that is On the Threshold of a Dream. My next favourite after that is Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. By the way, EVERY album following Days of Future Passed is a better album than that one, but only up to and including Seventh Sojourn. After Seventh Sojourn the records are not quite as powerful or beautiful as Future Passed, though the essence remains. Though Future Passed was an incredible breakthrough accomplishment, I think the band only established its true identity with Lost Chord. And then Threshold of a Dream truly fulfilled the promise.
Hard to pick the best from those 'core' seven, but l do have a favourite as well, it's To Our Children's Children's Chidren. I do love EGBDF as well, After You Came favourite song, quite a heavy track for the Moody Blues, favourite ever song, New Horizons from Seventh Sojourn album.
@@keithjones7390 Can't fault you for any of those choices. Watching and Waiting, Eternity Road, Our Guessing Game, One More Time to Live, Dawning is the Day, And the Tide Rushes In, So Deep Within You, To Share Our Love, You and Me, The Land of Make-Believe ... all outstanding songs from outstanding albums.
@@frankpentangeli7945 l agree, so many songs, the Moody Blues like a lot of artists/bands for me released lesser known album tracks or 'deep cuts' that were as good or better than the better known 'hits' (Steely Dan, The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, 10cc and Elton John to name a few 😂). Generally speaking with the Moody Blues it was Justin's songs that l love the most, but some more tracks l love are Lost in a Lost World, You Can Never Go Home, How is it (We are Here), Gypsy, Don't You Feel Small, Out and In and Dr. Livingstone l Presume.
@@keithjones7390 Rather randomly The Story in your Eyes (a good track of course) seems famous in the US. But only that and Nights in White Satin seem known very well there. Many potential big hits aren't known. At least the albums sold mightily.
Much of the music of the time had to do with the growing interest in Eastern spirituality among a segment of the younger generation. Meditation was seen as a way one could change one's spiritual destiny through one's own efforts. At the same time, psychedelic drugs were seen as a possible way of temporarily experiencing higher states of consciousness without spending years meditating. Tim Leary wasn't dead, but he and fellow Harvard professor Richard Alpert were discredited and fired - though LSD wasn't illegal yet. Alpert went to India, came back as Ram Dass, and wrote the well known book Be Here Now. Before that, author Aldous Huxley had written the book The Doors Of Perception about his experience with mescalin. One of the main components of Eastern spirituality is that the ego isn't the true self, and must be seen beyond in order to see reality. So, many lyrics and band names of the time dealt with or referred to the identity of the self - like the Who's "Who Are You", or The Guess Who. Practices like the repetition of a mantra like Om (or Aum) could put you in an altered state due to the concentration required, and I think that is what the songs "Thinking...." and parts of "The Actor" are about. Another example is the Grand Funk Railroad song "My Captain", which ends with the lyrics " I'm getting closer to my home" repeated over and over, like a mantra. I never thought the Beatles' line "Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there" from "Got To Get You Into My Life" was really about pot. Sometimes I don't think the Beatles told the reporters the whole truth.
Oh yes Justin. Yes it is better than the "whisper." When the Moody Blues are good they are outrageously good. *wink
Excellent review!!
This album is on my desert island list....'nuff said. 💙
It definitely is better than DOFP. They're more confident in what they're doing here.
What! !!! YOU, you APOSTATE!!.......... NO, not really. Wait till you hear the rest. And the word you are looking for is magnificent. The moody's dabbled in the bahia faith, don't know what came of it.They sound so good because of those little things they did musically, that you noticed. Music, in general has become my DRUG of choice, outside of the money spent buying and the time spent listening, no bad side effects.
I thought I'd heard this album. Nope. Thanks for reviewing it. The Moody Blues aren't perfect, but they put out many great hits.
No substances were used in the making of this album :).. Trippy Trippy Trippy
Moodies were one of the first Prog. bands I got into. Totally engaging and symphonic rock on the grand scale.
Classic albums upto and including Seventh Sojourn... I lost interest thereafter.
I like this overblown production but hey I also just like a voice and one instrument as well... Good music is good music...
On checking various 'album rankings' I see that there's quite a split between those that prefer DoFP and those who opt for ISotLC. I think that this is a more mature album and that the rather dated orchestral works on the earlier album bring it down a couple of notches. I'm also a little surprised that there's a big split in your viewers. The Moodies, to me, always deserve respect for being on the ground level of prog, but never reached the heights of the true giants. I'm very much in the middle. Their best albums (including this one) get 7.5/10, their worst 3/10.
For me it's neither, they are good albums, but 'On the threshold of a dream', which is often overlooked, is the one that is the most consistent.
LSD experience was giving them insight about life and death and also meditation and the lyrics in the song "thinking is the best way to travel" says it all. If your mind is traveling beyond the boundaries of space and time you'll experience that distance is gone and you're nothing more than a beam of light. Energy is the essence of exsistence, the essence of our universe, of life.
You just have to get around to 7th Waves "Psi-Fi" album one of these days if you want a sonic treat. Their second and last album. ruclips.net/video/mP5Md4IGjmo/видео.html
I delayed watching your reaction to this album in part because it is very personal to me. Perhaps as a way to avoid potentially hostile comments or the heartbreak of a disappointing review. My concerns were unnecessary. I grew up with this album in the late 1970s and early 1980s and listened to it constantly before I heard a note of Days of Future Passed. It might not be their most popular or musically mature album, but it's part of my fabric. I admit that as a youth, I preferred side one because it was more "pop" oriented, but now I can appreciate the contemplative tone of side two. I agree that In Search of the Lost Chord was better than Days of Future Passed. With the loss of the orchestral "crutch", they were able to really experiment with instrumentation *and* recording techniques. The dynamics on the album are top tier, from the tiniest percussive sounds to the biggest swells of the Mellotron.
Side one is best. imo
“In-the-know” music aficionados and critics don’t like the Moody Blues.
They don't know their arse from their elbow! 😅
The so called 'rock n roll hall of fame' intentionally kept them out for a long while. All potential voters were vetted on whether they liked them, if they did they weren't accepted as voters. They got called out on it and eventually had to scrap that policy, soon after The Moody Blues got into that 'hall of fame'.
WhyT# are you skipping parts of the song ??? 😖😖😖😖😖
Hi Otis! Its mentioned in The description: the music was blocked so was edited on YT. You can watch the full version in the link in description
@@JustJP ah ok thanks. The 1st is full and it's NOT blocked. Go figure
@@otisdriftwood1697 lol yup. No problem 👍
Question: given that Justin Hayward claimed to have done LSD about a dozen times back in the 60s, why isn't this better?
With so little music, this video is worthless. Very irritating.
Apart from a couple of nice acoustic geet snippets, all a bit 'songs around the campfire', and a tad twee for me. Except for that final 'hippy dippy' number, but then it was the 60's... Yeah, nothing standout, or attention grabbing, not an LP i'd bother with again.
You are really an Imbecile,go spin your Osmond brothers collection...
Well Jfergs, I knew you'd be sensible enough not to join in the mass snake copulation for a pretty unremarkable band.
@@pentagrammaton6793 Indeed. Another of those bands that seem to be festooned with acolades way beyond their material worth, imho.
@@pentagrammaton6793 Unremarkable? I'd love to know which band you'd consider remarkable.
The Moody Blues always sucked, and there are a thousand better prog/psychedelic bands from the sixties until now. 😛
It’s a stretch to call Moody Blues a prog or a psych band. Orchestral pop music is what they provide. I love the Moody Blues but I can see their faults. Vocal harmonies that don’t quite coalesce, competent not stellar musicianship. Conceptual-wise their reach often overextends their grasp. But I still love them.
There's always one isn't there?
@@rdumontdebeque there's great musicianship (they even played Indian instruments), and they tried more things than some other groups, they didn't just keep in one style to be safe like many others, or to be hip with the music press
@@joebloggs396 I don't think the Moody Blues were very popular at all with the music press, but then again, what do they know? 😅
Very sad. You miss much.
