EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FAVOUR

This album came with a lovely gatefold sleeve, raising expectations of another great album from the band. It is indeed a fine work, but when compared to its peers, i.e. other Moody Blues albums, it is generally weaker.

Given the dominance of Justin Hayward and John Lodge, especially in terms of composition, it is ironic that it is the Graeme Edge track "After you came" which stands out as the best track. Here we have a fine Hayward guitar solo towards the end of the track, an all too rare pleasure.

"The story in your eyes" is a good traditional Moody Blues up tempo number, with some fine harmonies, but at under three minutes, the band fail to develop it to its full potential.

These tracks aside, there's nothing particularly memorable here. I would suggest that most people beyond the most ardent Moodies fans would have difficulty naming another track from the album off the top of their head.

A good, well produced album, which just falls short of the high standards set by the band themselves.
