Das siebte Album in der Originalbesetzung aus dem Jahr 1979 ist das letzte, auf dem der typische progressive Kansas-Sound zu hören ist. Die Qualität der Titel ist gut bis sehr gut, wobei auf ein Longtrack verzichtet wurde. Danach bewegten sich Kansas mehr in Richtung Mainstream, was wohl auch dem Zeitgeist der 80er-Jahre geschuldet war. Dieses Album ist das letzte, das mich voll zu überzeugen weiß.
