Title: Their best effort
Review: In my opinion, Chicago's first two double albums are really the only ones worth owning. After that, maybe a couple of singles are up to snuff, but not much else.Chicago II represents the band when they were musically ambitious, daring, all over the map stylistically, and incredibly TIGHT. I still marvel at this record. The horn section is just too good, the drumming is just THERE, and the songwriting was never equalled by Chicago since.Too bad they finally decided to just let Cetera take center stage and sing mushy, sappy MOR ballads. I guess it paid the bills, but it was sure disappointing to those of us that remembered the band's early efforts.Forget about what Chicago eventually became. This is their great stuff.
