(Review from amazon, rollingstone.com)

At least in terms of sound, Justin Hayward and John Lodge, guitarist and bass player, respectively, with the currently inactive Moody Blues, have created in Blue Jays the ultimate Moody Blues album. It is the same sound that established the Moodies’ mass popularity in 1968 with “Days of Future Passed”: basic rock instrumentation heavily overlaid with Mellotron or string orchestra, and vocals treated as instruments in the Wagnerian manner.

On the other hand since the talents of Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge are missing, it’s still not quite the same.

The duo’s voices alone could have carried any of these songs. The songs are well performed, giving musical credence even to the weakest of lyrics on this album. Conversely, when the lyrics match well with the music and either or both of their voices, the songs are unstoppable.

As a bonus, this edition of the album includes Justin Hayward’s solo song “Blue Guitar”. The tone of this song fits well with the rest of the album.
