MONOLITH

A lot of pompous twat amongst some of these 'reviews'.....looks like many have followed the 'Rolling Stone' trend of belittling fine efforts to raise one's own ego. This is a fine album.....sure, it's not up there with 'Leftoverture' or "Point Of No Return" but it is fine album nonetheless......superbly played. A departure from their full on prog of previous albums, it shows a progreesion (or regression) towards a more radio friendly style but still captures all the things which make Kansas great.....mucisianship, song craft and dynamism.....and who cares about lyrics? It's all about the music and this album delivers more than enough to entertain.....except to those pompous enough to think they can do better.....which they can't. A solid four stars from me.
