Title: One of their best!
Review: Vinyl Confessions, Kansas' first album after the departure of Steve Walsh, still remains one of their best. While John Elefante lacks the power and emotion of Steve Walsh, he is still a very good singer. But as always with Kansas, the real key to their success is in songwriting and musicianship. Most of the songs lack the intricacies of much of their older stuff, but they are still well-written and expertly arranged. Also, as a wannabee drummer, I appreciate how much Phil Ehart's drumming is featured on almost every song. The songs have a sharper feel than most of their older albums, and a band known for tight arrangements perhaps reached their peak in that respect on Vinyl Confessions. I highly recommend this album.
