Music reviews of Question of Balance (Reis)
Music Review: The least interesting of the seven main Moody Blues albums from the Progressive Rock era
Rating: 5 Stars
You'll notice that I said the least interesting, but yet I still gave it five stars. Why? Well, it is because the main seven Moody Blues albums are all legendary classics. The Moody Blues were way ahead of their time, and even though they were playing all the way through the nineties, their main seven are the songs people want to hear when they are in concert. I have their "Live at Red Rocks" DVD and it's probably their best live performance although I wish there were more video material of their progressive rock era.
I've listened to this album all my life so it's easy to forget that only one song from this album was actually a charted hit. The song "Question" charted as high as #21 in 1970. This track was just as odd to hear on pop radio as Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love." It's amazing how diverse pop radio was back in the early seventies. The Jackson Five, Neil Diamond, Carpenters, CCR, and then The Moody Blues and others? Everyone in music was so wonderfully different from each other back then.
When I hear the Brothers Four playing "Greenfields" from back in 1960, I can't help but to compare it to the Moody Blues' "And The Tide Rushes In." My favorite songs from "A Question of Balance" is (well practically every track on side two, but anyway), "Minstrel's Song", and "Melancholy Man." These few really do stand out as my favorites.
From "Days of Future Passed" to "Seventh Sojourn", the Moody Blues play a very important part of the Progressive Rock era, along side of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Strawbs, Aphrodite's Child, Eloy, and Triumvirat and many others.
Description of Question of Balance (Reis)
2008 reissue of their 1970 album, Question of Balance. The album was an attempt by the group to strip down their well-known lush, psychedelic sound in order to be able to better perform the songs in concert. For the first time, The Moody Blues used political strife as a basis for songwriting with the UK number two hit in May 1970, "Question", which dealt with the controversy resulting from the ongoing Vietnam War. The album reached #1 in the UK and #3 in the U.S. In 2008, Moody Blues reissues its first seven album releases, each with bonus content and each release in this set of their first seven evolutionary albums includes a varying number of special mixes or versions of songs that are also represented in their final form on the respective albums from their highly spectacular career. 10 original tracks plus six bonus.Classic Rock CDs
