1 stars Tripe, utter tripe.

After hearing the first few KC albums, I sought out more...and what I got was a lot of 'less'. As some have pointed out, this is cold and emotionless music (I hesitate to even call it 'music').

This was KC entering into their 80's period, and, I have found, through my own personal experience, that when 70s bands enter into the 80s....BAD THINGS HAPPEN. Everything goes downhill. Creativity wanes, music commercializes, and people wear tacky clothing.

Finding out that the vocalist for the Talking Heads supplies the vocals on this album...well now, suddenly it makes sense. Basically, this album is what you get when Robert Fripp attempts to do a cover version of a TH song.

For anyone who likes their previous, more symphonic (and more enjoyable (trust me, this record does not inspire one to dance and sing)) material, then steer well clear of this.

I give this .5 / 5, but because of the current rating system, I have no choice but to begrudgingly give it a 1.
