Это не грустный блюз - это грустный психодел/прог. Может быть это и важный альбом в истории музыки тем что, это первый в истории симфоник-рок еще до ELO, ну слишком уж оркестровки плотно всё забивают и из-за этого теряется энергия и динамика и слушаешь как будто не прогрок а академическую музыку, весь альбом практический очень натужно и медленно идет ну таков уж стиль я всё понимаю, такая была задумка, группа хотела смешать классику с роком и реализация удалась ну только как-то всё убийственно скучновато вышло, треков проходных нет, впринципе альбом цельно выдержан в едином ключе, The Night - Nights in White Satin - шедевр на века.

In childhood, my knowledge about the Moody Blues was limited only to the fact that they must play sad blues, and the name in Russian transcription sounds humorous to a teenager. When I finally got to their work, I realized that there is very little blues there (the first album is now successfully forgotten), but there is enough sadness, even in intense compositions. Days of future passed is a legendary album recorded with the London Festival Orchestra. The second in MB's discography and the first recorded in the so-called classic line-up. In 67, a prog-album realized in such a way was an unconditional event, if it also had an interspersion of classical music written specifically for the album by the band and the conductor. Now critics call Days one of the first prog-rock discs. The concept also permeates the record's lyrics, telling about one day of a person's life. It is interesting that MB were invited to the studio only to record some classics in a rock arrangement, demonstrating the capabilities of the new equipment. However, the band got so carried away by the collaboration with the orchestra and their conductor Peter Knight that they created an entire prog-tapestry, having previously performed only rhythm-n-blues. Behind the band was already the first place in England with the single Go now!, but the first album did not gain success. Days took 27 place in Britain and 3 in Billboard (though 5 years later). It is just that now Days seems like something in the vein of Pet sounds by Beach boys. An important album of that moment, which now does not cause special feelings. Primarily because the quintet had not yet learned to compose at the level of their future status. I do not feel confidence in the strokes on their prog-tapestry. It is clear that the band understands where to move, but they pave the path slowly and sometimes tensely. The real masterpiece on the album is known to everyone - the concluding Nights in white satin. Dawn is a feeling and Another morning are not bad. All three things were written by different members of the collective, which became their "trademark". There are absolutely no throwaway things, but they are not interesting and capturing either
