This was the last studio album the Moody Blues released until 1999, and it was indicative of the problems they were encountering around this time – namely, a lawsuit from dismissed keyboard player Patrick Moraz alleging that he had been denied his fair cut of the band’s financial gains – and the results of the decision against Moraz. Despite the fact that Moraz tried to sue for way too much money on a very flimsy case, the thought that ambassadors of musical goodwill might not be as good-intentioned as previously thought probably didn’t help sales. Still, it contains one gorgeous bona-fide Moodies classic, “Bless The Wings”, and leads off with “Say It With Love”, which is at least up to the standards of Long Distance Voyager. Other than that, this 
album seems unbalanced. Whether the hasty departure/dismissal/who knows? of Moraz left a gap in the group’s sound – which I think it did, if you compare Keys to, say, Other Side Of Life or Sur La Mer – or there were other internal difficulties, it’s hard to say, but after the previous two albums this one is a letdown.
