EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FAVOUR

This albums more or less continues the concept from the previous album (A Question of Balance) of looking for meaning in the world, as well as following up on concepts from previous albums. Overall, fantastic concept and execution, the album opens with the instrumental Procession that chronicles the development of music over time (and somewhat follows from the House of Four Doors from ISOTLC), as well as foreshadows a song from later in the album, and which then triumphantly leads directly into my favorite Moody Blues song, The Story in Your Eyes, a rousing, fantastic song with killer guitar riffs, insane counterpoint bass line, and the catchiest melody and chorus. This was the first Moody Blues album I bought myself, and remains a personal favorite. Although ranked a bit lower by some due to a couple of lighter or more whimsical songs, this is a true powerhouse album, containing some of the band's biggest, fullest, and most elaborate and powerful arrangements, on songs such as One More Time to Live, After You Came, You Can Never Go Home, and My Song. An underrated classic. Best Songs: The Story in Your Eyes, Our Guessing Game, After You Came, One More Time to Live, You Can Never Go Home, My Song. Rating: 4.5
