Reviews Customer Reviews for Seventh Sojourn      A fitting finale      Rating:      As the final installment of the Moody Blues' classic seven LPs, 1972's "Seventh Sojourn" reflects a very mature band. Comfortable with where they've been and how they make music, they ease back here on experimentation in favor of simpler melodies. Make no mistake, though. This is a masterpiece, beginning to end. From Mike Pinder's social thought-provoking "Lost in a Lost World" to Justin Hayward's uplifting "New Horizons" to Ray Thomas' sea shanty "For My Lady" to John Lodge's tearful "Isn't Life Strange?" to Pinder's wartime conscientious objector tale in "When You're a Free Man" to Lodge's rockin' "I'm Just a Singer." I get the feeling they all decided to just be themselves this time, to say what was on their minds and in their hearts in one of those "I've always wanted to..." moments. It's as if they knew this would be the last of the lineup's greatness in sound. As a result, the beauty of "Seventh Sojourn" is its simplicity, and especially cool are the transitional notes linking songs, notably "New Horizons" to "For My Lady" to "Isn't Life Strange?" You'll need to turn up the volume a bit to catch Thomas's flute tying "When You're a Free Man" to "I'm Just a Singer." In all, this album, like Phil Travers' cover art, reflects the band's unmatched talent for painting pictures through music. For this Moody Blues fan, it doesn't get any better.     Customer Reviews for Seventh Sojourn Cd      music from my childhood      Rating:      I grew up listening to the Moody Blues.
