Amazon.com Is there another band from the classic rock era that's as full of hot gas as the Moody Blues? Not bloody likely. With music that oozes neoclassical pretensions and lyrics that read like the poetry of an English schoolboy who has breathed a little too deep of the gathering gloom, the Moodys showed just how terminally silly rock could get once it became established enough in the marketplace to begin to put on artistic airs. Even if you find that assessment of their work overly harsh, you'll agree that this, the latest in a long line of Moodys anthologies, is a poor value. Despite the presence of many of their U.S. chart hits, the set pales next to The Best of the Moody Blues, which includes six more songs, notably "Go Now," proof that when the Moody Blues first made the charts, they were a very different sort of band. What the heck happened? --Daniel Durchholz Similar CDs

CD ReviewsNot a weak track anywhere, but a pretty damn pointless CD an Dave | United States | 06/20/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Due to the extremely limited appeal of this CD, you'll most likely be able to get a used copy DIRT CHEAP. By limited appeal, I'm not saying that these songs are bad--in fact, none of them are bad. If you do see this dirt cheap and don't know a thing about the Moodies, it does provide you with a 'quick fix' of the group. But that's really the best that can be said because there are simply too many other Moody Blues compilations around that are easily superior. I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is THE most pointless Moodies' compilation ever released--I do give this one the edge over 1985's similarly scant "Voices In The Sky" comp--but still, with the single disc "The Best of the Moody Blues" having all of the tracks found here plus 6 more, this "20th Century Masters" disc is basically just a waste of space."
