Moods is the eighth studio album by Neil Diamond, released in 1972. It contained the second of his #1 songs, "Song Sung Blue", and was something of a follow-up in style to the highly experimental Tap Root Manuscript.

Billboard praised Moods highly,^[2] saying it contained "brilliant, diversified material." This album, and its follow-up live album Hot August Night, are generally acknowledged to be the two most important recording projects of Diamond's career in terms of defining his signature sound for the future.^{[citation needed]} Within the music industry and among music professionals this is considered one of Diamond's better and more creative recordings. Lee Holdridge was the arranger and conductor of the orchestra.
