FREAKS OF NATURE

Hmmm...I´m kinda confused here. This actually sounds like Kansas again, with David Ragsdale´s violin sounding really good. This album is listenable and even has som interessting parts that can be concidered prog. Just listen to the middle part of I can Fly.

The album has a pretty raw sound that suits it well. It leaves the impression that Kansas actually care again. The violin is very omnipresent which is really great. The trees don´t grown into the sky though, as this is basically a hard rock/Pop album and not much more. There is still no resemblance to the seventies genialities, but at least this is bearable.

I have to note though that Steve Walsh doesn´t sound well on the album. Where has his voice gone ? Too much booze maybe ?

If you are a fanatic fan this is much better than anything Kansas made in the eighties and in that respect I recommend Freaks of Nature over their eighties stuff.
