Reviews Customer Reviews for On The Threshold Of A Dream      My Favorite      Rating:      I was a major Moody Blues fan back in the era of this release. I owned every one of their albums on vinyl. I saw them in concert around 1970 and they were amazingly good live considering the amount of "studio" they always put into their work. I recently went back and purchased "Threshold" and "Lost Chord". The vocals and arrangements hold up pretty well and these guys were good players. However, some of the lyrics almost seem hokey and hard to take seriously (I really took this stuff seriously as a young kid). The poetic input is almost comical at times, but does help to frame the thematic nature of the album. Personally, I always liked "Threshold" the best with it's airy feel. Top tracks are "Lovely to See You", "Never Comes The Day" and "Are You Sitting Comfortably". I always felt that the Moodies were a great band to get high to back in the day and were very much an acid trip vehicle to evoke high-minded conversations pertaining to the universe and life's meaning etc. I was always bummed to hear that they were supposedly anti-drug guys during this period. I told myself for a long time that they only wrote the Timothy Leary is dead lines to throw us off - oh well. No matter how you cut it - the Moody Blues were "trippin" in those days and made some great "mood" music.     Customer Reviews for On The Threshold Of A Dream Cd      Every young and old Hippie should have study this album      Rating:      ON a threshold of a dream...I know the album in time was endless,he keeps on going the end track ...and it's surely the master piece off The Moody Blues, only for listening too the typical British accent off the storyteller...and that back in time mellotron ...great album that smells the unlimited time of the end 60 beginning 70 .
