Free Music Review: OK 80's rock album, but not good Kansas
Hit: 2 Stars
If you listen to this album without knowing it is Kansas, it's an alright piece of 80's rock. However, it is one of the worst albums Kansas ever made (the two studio efforts that followed are the only ones worse).
1983's Drastic Measures (which wasn't particularly good either, but had some high points) was the last Kansas album before they disbanded. Walsh reformed the group in 1986 with a different lineup and, glaringly, without Livgren and his songs.
If you were to make a list of the top 15 best Kansas songs and the bottom 15 worst Kansas songs, very few, if any, Walsh written songs would make the top 15 and, likely, the bottom 15 would be filled with songs he penned. While Walsh did surprisingly well writing for Power, it's still not good enough to recapture the traditional Kansas sound. In other words, the album just doesn't sound like Kansas. And I think the concept of Kansas would have been better off had Walsh and company given their "new" band a different name.
Finally, the song Three Pretenders is a very low blow to Livgren, Hope and Elefante and completely unnecessary. I can't stand this song at all because Livgren and Hope are so important to the history of Kansas and to stab them in the back like this on an album with the name Kansas on the cover makes me sick.
Bottom line: not bad for the 80's, not good for Kansas.
