Interesting view of the album and band, whilst I don't agree with it
I certainly respect your opinion as it's one of the most informed on here when it comes to prog, AOR and other rarities. Kansas are really an acquired taste, as I don't imagine many people getting excited over the idea of mixing an American boogie sound with British based prog, but isn't that what prog is all about anyway pushing boundaries? I know you tend to like the more polished and poppier side of AOR as well, to my polished and rockier side, so maybe that's another aspect worth considering as well in your review. In fact nearly all your negatives on the band are actually why I like them!
I've never ever seen Starcastle and Ambrosia mentioned anywhere before on this forum and I myself haven't heard these band in an age, so thanks for reminding me. As for Styx one of my all time favourite bands so no complaints on mentioning them.
I'd like to see you either do a new AOR journal or extend the one you did, so I can pick its bones!
