Summary: Every young and old Hippie should have study this album
Comment: 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 .

Summary: The Title Tells it All: These were the final words of our Wedding Service 9/11/1971
Comment: I will not be wordy. Our entire wedding service was taken from lyrics of various Moody Blues songs .......... to this day, # 1 my Mom is still looking for the passage in the Bible, and #2 our friends who know " MB " are amazed that we could pull it off ......... and #3 we are still looking for opportunities to see Moody Blues 36+ yrs after the ceremony !

Summary: The album you could only dream of....
Comment: So many great albums by this band and this one stands out as my favorite. Probably the Moody Blues album that most constantly reminds me of Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull in places and seems to be heavily influenced by both bands. Check out the song you would mistake for Tull if you are only slightly familiar with Tull. Tull fans just laugh like I did. Anyway if you love progressive rock you will need this album in your collection without question. The concept and storyline put this ahead of its time and progressive albums were not normally like this till the 70s. Very much unlike other albums of its time and a giant leap for the Moody Blues. Every bit as influential to progressive rock as King Crimson in 1969.The Moodys will never get enough credit for establishing the progressive rock genre and this album is proof of that all the way through.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Priceless
Comment: It's hard to believe this was recorded at the edge of the end of the 60's. Wow... talk about talent and super song spinners. This is absolutely worth a place in anyone's musical library.

Editorial Reviews:

Released in 1969, just eight months after In Search of the Lost Chord, Threshold continues the Moody Blues's journey as cosmic seekers but in a less exotic manner. Here, Justin Hayward packs away the sitar and the band has swept most of the mystical and Eastern influences under the Kilim rug, replacing them with a science-fictional search for meaning and futuristic production methods. As on two earlier albums, Graeme Edge regales listeners with esoteric poetry, this time adding a whimsical, ironic edge to his ponderous verse. The songs have also undergone a similar overhaul, allowing the band's talent for melody to overcome the psychedelic whirls that embellished the earlier albums. John Lodge's assertive bass takes control of the bucolic "Lovely to See You," Roy Thomas's deceptively cheerful "Dear Diary," and the upbeat "Lazy Days," which also contains an unexpected lyrical sting. Indeed, the entire album is underpinned with a wistful melancholy as the grandiose rockers capture the bittersweet fleeting moments of the '60s. --Jaan Uhelszki
