To Our Children's Children's Children
Date undefinedLike another reviewer said, there's a lot of fluffy nonsense on the first side that just spoils the album. I don't know how anyone can rate Higher and higher highly; it's not a proper song and it sounds quite too corny. Floating is another song which sounds like something on a children's soundtrack. Beyond never goes anywhere. I never thought is a great song, but at one minute length it's hard to enjoy it.
Eyes of a child and Out and in are the only songs I personally can listen to by this point. Sun is still shining sounds like ridiculous hippy nonsense and comes at the end of three great songs to spoil the mood.
That leaves us with four undeniable classics: Candle of life, Gypsy, Eternity Road and Watching and waiting. They're all among Moody's best songs ever. I just wish I could enjoy the album as a whole without all the filler. I still give it four stars, although I can't understand anyone calling this their best.

Date undefinedAnother great band from when bands were at their best, the 60s & 70s produced the Very BEST!!! The Band: MOODY BLUES produced the best listening music. You could be laying around your place drinking your wine and just listening or even without the wine, it was a pleasure to listen to.
To Our Children's Children's Children
Date undefinedTo our Children's Children's Children was the third Moody Blues album I
purchased, but it has remained, for 30 years, my favorite Moodie LP of
all time. Every artist has a masterpiece in him, her, or them, and the
Moody Blues have two, the first being "Days of Future Passed."
TOCCC is better in my opinion, and most Moody Blues fans agree. I
remember being impressed by the cover and the statement, "All
Instruments Played by the Moody Blues."
Listening to this album for the first time was one of those experiences
that happens only once in a lifetime: This CD speaks to us. It echoes
our thoughts, our feelings, our longings, our sense of wonder about the
world and the universe. Our thoughts, wishes, our dreams. Love,
peace, and the mysteries of life.
And that SOUND. TOCCC is sonically unbelieveable. It is such a
wonder that they pulled this off in 1969. It sounds as if it could have
been recorded today. So spacy, so deep, such a huge, hair raising
sound from Mike Pinders mellotron (keyboard). Awesome: it begins
with the rocket launch and among the roar of the engines, you hear the
choirlike voices lifting you into space as you gain a new perspective of
our planet and the people there.
It takes you into space and beyond, and deep within yourself, your soul,
your heart. TOCCC takes you to heaven. It is my favorite album/cd of
all time. This is the one I listen to as I ride home late at night from band gigs, marveling at the velvet sky and a thousand stars. After listening to the Moody Blues, you never hear sound or feel emotion the same way again. This is my favorite musical work/LP/album of all time. If you are a person who thinks and feels deeply, this powerful CD is for you.
