Kansas

Symphonic Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

'Song For America' came straight after the band debut self titled album and marked a progression in the songwriting and sound quality of the band. Album opener "Down The Road" is a catchy boogie song with great leading guitar and dominant violin that completes the rock n roll vibe of the song with great symphonic touch.

The title track is one of Kansas best masterpieces. A long epic track in which the band functions as a small orchestra: violins, guitars, keyboards...what not. This is one of their best composed tracks with a really fluid structure that never lets down for the whole 10 minutes of it. Sheer brilliance.

Rest of the album is good as well, 'Song For America' is truly a masterpiece of progressive rock music.
