Genre: Hard Rock

What happened to Kansas?
The “Dust in the Wind” guys seem to have gone to their corners and come back hitting the boards hard(er). For someone who is less a proggy guy like me and more into air guttering and air drumming…it’s much more muscular than previous Kansas stuff. It’s not great but this is a pleasant surprise from this band. 
While trash like “Service Service” exists, it’s offset by the fun stuff like “We’re Not Alone Anymore” or “Silhouettes in Disguise”, which sound more like Golden Earring, but that’s not a bad thing. I even enjoyed the Instrumental prog Side Two opener “Musicatto”.
