Description:
The beautifully remastered version of the Moody Blues`s 1970 back-to-basics album (translation: they cut way back on the overdubs) strips away the original aural murk at last, and includes informative liner-note interviews with the band about the recording process. Standout tracks include the classic sort-of protest song "Question" and "It`s Up to You," one of singer/guitarist Justin Hayward`s most authoritatively wistful riff-rockers.
There is a clear attempt to pare back the lush excesses of their earlier work in favor of a leaner rock sound, as heard on cuts like John Lodge`s pell-mell "The Tortoise and the Hare." Still, one of the album`s standouts is Ray Thomas`s "And the Tide Rushes In," a lovely psychedelic ballad of the sort that moved the Who`s Pete Townshend to remark that the Moody Blues` albums were so gorgeously produced that listening to them was like "being in church." A QUESTION OF BALANCE is a fine album, and a clear preparation for its successor EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FAVOUR, one of the band`s finest moments.
