Title: Worthy followup to Point... falls just short of excellent
Review: Following the success and the brilliance of Point of Know Return, Kansas returns 20 months later with this very good, worthy, but not quite excellent successor. It's principle drawback is the songwriting that, at times, feels as if they were trying too hard to gain commercial success. No fewer than 4 singles were released from the album, and only 1 made it into the top 40 much less the top ten (as "Dust in the Wind" did from the last album). One of the tunes that didn't make it into the top 40 was, unfortunately, also this album's best cut: "A Glimpse of Home" is both powerful and dramatic without thrashing the listener. It's still worth buying, even though its four best cuts are all on the Kansas boxed set.
