TO OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S CHILDREN

It is good to see this as the most popular album in the last twenty-four hours. Lush and satiated cosmic soundscapes to start the album and then back to the earth (or back from "out" to "in") as the album progresses. Masterful meditation on limits, infinity and afterlife. The best Moody Blues lyrics ever, and they are not as pretentious as it is often presented, in fact the closing Watching and Waiting is an exercise in humility. The balance between the substance and the ornaments is superbly maintained throughout the album, Out and In and Eternity Road being the most outstanding tracks with miles of space inbetween the mellotron and the other instruments. And so many beautiful moments on this one: the Floating/ EyesII segue, the mellotron flutes on Beyond, Hayward's heavenly guitar tone on Eternity Road, the bends on Sun Is Still Shining, the mellotron climax on Watching and Waiting. Definitely in top three Moody Blues albums.5.0
