This is a great album, my personal favorite kansas release. The lead vocals really shine.

The song writing is truly the best of both worlds, with the best of both Elefante and Livgren, while stylistically, there is a great blend of progressive rock, jazz, and blues styles, with expressive and moving use of the piano, fiddle, harmonica, and saxophone, all unique (for Kansas) to this album. Not a single "filler" song.

In this rendition of Kasas, the musical style changed along with the lead singer . If you were a big fan of the old Kansas sound, you may be disappointed with this release. The progressive rock sound is gone.
- Love it

Replaced the departed Steve Walsh and did an admirable job of it. Warren Ham also joined the band, providing vocals, harmonica, keyboards and saxophone accompaniment.
The energy of the band was up when I saw them in concert in October at the Universal Amphitheater. Phil Ehart and Dave Hope laid a solid foundation of rhythm and thunder. Robby Steinhardt's soaring violin was matched only by John Elefante's soaring vocals. John also provided guitar and keyboards to the mix on stage, allowing Kerry Livgren to do more keyboards, and Rich Williams to shine on his guitar. Warren Ham played a hot harmonica and gave Kansas the opportunity to play an old favorite "Down The Road".
The concert was John's triumphant return to Los Angeles, having grown up in nearby Long Beach. The only bummer of the evening was Robby Steinhardt's announcement that the St. Louis Cardinals had defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in the final game of the World Series.
