As for my case, I am not really a big fan of The Moody Blues as I always considered this band
as a pop-rock band with some prog elements in their music. I was then told that this band as
one of pioneers in progressive rock and I looked at the album Days Future Passed where there
was many orchestration done throughout the music. I don't think that the album was truly
progressive beside the fact that yes the used orchestra. The rest I only recognized the band
with its Nights in White Satin which was very famous that time.This Octave album has already been in my collection in the form of cassette and I never paid attention to this as I had a perception that this was another pop-rock band. As recently I played my cassette collection, finally I got a chance to listen to this again. Overall, this albm proves to me that The Moody Blues is still a pop-rock band with quite good lyrics. The songs are not quite attractive to me and just flat emotion with respect to melody and/or composition overall. However, I am sure there are people who love music like this. So, I finally conclude that this is only good for those collectors who enjoy this straight forward pop rock music. Keep on proggin' ...!!! Peace on earth and mercy mild - GW
