There are worse albums than this, but, there are now albums worse than this by the band Kansas. This is the bottom of the barrel for the band. So long prog. rock and hello desperate attempt at over produced 80's hard rock.
The album was so lost with itself that it marks a break-up for the band. After this, they called it quits for a brief time. Just listen to the song, "Mainstream," you can tell the band was having trouble keeping it fresh as the lyrics describe the pressure of staying true to the band's sound, but trying to stay in touch with the pop rock trends of the day.
The band would later re-form and do a little more than just reunions. But, they turned back to their days of 70's progressive rock. The ideas on this album were left alone and died in 1983. I could be a douche-y tool and make a bunch of puns with the word "drastic" or I could make snarky remarks about how awful this album is...but, it's not really worth it. Everyone is well aware this isn't any good.
