Title: Even the deity we know as Tom Dowd couldn't save Chicago
Review: Tom Dowd needs no introduction. He's a deity if you love 60's and 70's music. So, bringing him in to pull Chicago's commercial fat out of the fire seemed to be a great idea. I bought this record simply because I couldn't imagine him being involved with a dud. Another deity, Phil Ramone, failed to get the band turned around with "13", and Dowd, a close friend of Ramone's, should have read that email from Ramone and seen this coming. Oh wait. There was no email in 1980. Duhhhhhh.The material ranges from bland to cluelessly bad. Dowd can't make gold out of gum wrappers. These are gum wrappers. Bleechhhhh.
