SOMEWHERE TO ELSEWHERE

What? for the first time in two decades the original Kansas is back together? And they made a prog album? Fantastic! Steve Walsh's voice is getting raspier? Okay, but I bet he gives it a good try. At least the classic lineup is back. Dave Hope doesn't play on the whole album? I suppose Billy Greer is okay. Hope and Kerry Livgren aren't staying with the band? Awwwww, nuts!

At least for one album we got a classic Kansas album. While it's not up to the level of Leftoverture and Point Of Know Return, it is still a formidable prog album. And it's what we Kansas fans have been waiting for for far too long. There is still a bit of the maudlin stuff that's appeared on the last bunch of albums, but not very much.
