SOMEWHERE TO ELSEWHERE

Well this is an epic pop album, where the vocalist is not perfect as in the past (listen to the clear and powerful voice of the first album by KANSAS for instance...). Nevertheless if you are patient, after the first seven songs (except on the magnificent first track "Icarus II" which is anyway another pop epic number), you find the stunning "Distant Vision", with great echoes from their glorious past, regarding the Era of "Leftoverture", and then also the tasteful Byzantium, which completes this sort of memorial among so many pleasant epic pop songs.

Recommended, even though probably it is not completely essential!!
