Released a decade after the Moodies` comeback album LONG DISTANCE VOYAGER, KEYS hammered home the point that the world`s oldest art-rock band had no plans to fade away. While VOYAGER added a light `80s production sheen to the group`s trademark sound, KEYS finds the group leaping whole-heartedly into state-of-the-art arrangements replete with electronic-sounding percussion, sequencers, and cavernous reverb. "Say What you Mean" even ventures into dance music. This being a Moody Blues album, there are respites like the acoustic-based ballad "Is This Heaven," but the bulk of KEYS is given over to radio-ready power ballads. It`s important to remember, though, that these are the guys who invented the power ballad, so they`ve earned the right to coast on the format for a few songs.
