Album Notes & Community Reviews

Blending poetry, sweeping orchestration, and tightly crafted pop hooks, The Moody Blues delivered a wonderfully calm, conceptually dense progressive rock journey. 'On the Threshold of a Dream' is incredibly lush and deeply peaceful, matching fiercely melodic, warm baroque pop with remarkably philosophical, slightly psychedelic symphonic ambition.
