POINT OF KNOW RETURN

Almost as good as the previous album, Leftoverture, this album is the last great studio album by Kansas. Despite an extremely (maybe even overly) slick production, they manage to pump out an album full of great prog tunes. And Dust In The Wind.

Some songs on this album are fantastic, like Paradox, The Spider, which happens to be Steve Walsh's best song ever, and Prtrait (He Knew). Some are just very good prog, like Point Of Know Return and Closet Chronicles. Even the rockers, Lightning's Hand and Sparks Of The Tempest are better than the usual Kansas rockers.

The only down points are the aforementioned Dust In The Wind and the maudlin Nobody's Home.
