DRASTIC MEASURES

Even Vinyl Confessions had something left that was unmistakably Kansas. This one hasn´t. It´s as if this is an entirely new band. This is the worst Kansas album I have ever heard ( And God knows there are a little too many of their albums that suck).

Robbie Steinhardt left the band before Drastic Measures and I think this removed the small identity that was still Kansas on Vinyl Confessions. Drastic Measures are filled with cheesy eighties keyboards and choirs. There is literally nothing of interest for a prog head here. Please avoid like the plague and don´t buy this like I did, because I was curious. It´s a waste of money and time.

Vinyl Confessions was an ok eighties hard rock album even though it didn´t really sound like Kansas, but Drastic Measures is downright horrible and really has nothing to do with Kansas except that some of the musicians used to play in a great american prog rock band called KANSAS.

I have to give this 1 star, which pains me when I know the once great musicians Kerry Livgren, Dave Hope, Phil Ehart and Rich Williams were still in the band. It´s just impossible to hear.
