EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FAVOUR

DESOLATION ! CREATION ! a classical opening track for this MOODIES album ,kind of musical happening as they did for most of their albums.soon HAYWARD injects a strong pop rock piece and it's good to remember he's a good guitar player and a great songwritter.The album is a beautiful blend of rock and flavoured pop songs.I know the question,is it as prog as in the beguenings ? I don't wonder ,it's a MOODIES album ,it's a whole and ther's no difference with early releases like IN SEARCH or ON THE THRESHOLD .It's kind of a musical alchemy because every musician brings his own colour in songwritting and the result is a colourful firework. Of course! i know ,for all those who discover this music today, it mays appear a bit soft and naive but it needs several listenings for squeesing out the precious sap.So many years later, i'm still keen on all the beautiful PHIL TRAVERS cover artworks. 5 stars,of course!
