All of the songs seemed to flow together like one complete work of art or something, and it always blew me away. Especially the last lines of the poem at the end. Maybe you've heard the songs "Nights in White Satin" or "Tuesday Afternoon." Now that I listened to it again a few days ago and it's still got that kind of novelty feel to it - there really aren't any other albums you could easily compare it to.
Anyways just wanted to make this thread since I didn't see one already. You never see "Days of Future Passed" in any sort of Greatest Albums of All Time lists & for that I think it's underrated. Definitely one of my favorites!

A great album made by perhaps one of the most talented bands that ever came out of the UK. I liked quite a few of their earlier albums. They never seemed to get mentioned that often I think it is because they offered more of a high brow style of music as oppose to the pop style. They were a force unto themselves because to my knowledge no other band was really making music that sounded like what the Moody Blues were doing!
