Free Music Review: Welcome to the Other Side...
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the best albums in my collection for a number of reasons. The Moody Blues are one of my favorite bands and I happen to love both rock n'roll and electronically based music, and "The Other Side" happens to be a pretty good mix. Also, "Your Wildest Dreams" is one of the best songs ever created! Majestic, enchanting, almost epic, awesome vocal work laced with soothing harmonic synths, next to "True Faith" by New Order its probably my favorite song in existance! The fast-paced and edgy "Rock n' Roll Over You" along with the charming and energetic "Talkin' Talkin'" will drive you wild on the dancefloor and definitely add to the fun and spontanaity that went into making this treasure. Now, for some reason "The Spirit" is the song that is most trashed in earlier reviews. This song ROCKS! I'm speaking both as an avid Moody Blues fan and as an Eighties Child! Aside from a strong beat and excellent synths an instrumentation, the vocals are superb, if a bit oddly sung, and the lyrics are so poetic, almost matching some of New Order's best work (their lead singer, in my own opinion, is the BEST lyricist). Now, if you're looking for the softer side of the band, don't worry its still here. The best example is without a doubt the ending piece "It May Be A Fire", one of John Lodge's finest contemporary tunes. It brings back the elements from some of their earlier work with a more updated sound, but without the electronic edge that resonates throughout most of this album.My only complaint about this release would have to be the piffly lyrics on "I Just Don't Care", probably the only bad song on here. Also, I don't care for the studio version of "The Other Side Of Life" nearly so much as for the Red Rocks rendition and other live versions I've heard. But overall, "The Other Side Of Life" is just fun to listen to. Understandably, more mature and/or more serious fans may find this music to be a joke and we all have our preferences, but this masterpiece is certainly one of mine. Don't let the negative reviews scare you and listen with an open-mind as well as with a curious soul. You may be surprised.
