To paraphrase Hank Hill, from TV's King Of The Hill "You're not making Kansas better, you're making Steve Morse worse."

On this album, we get three original member of Kansas, Steve Walsh, Rich Williams and Phil Ehard (Why do I want to call them the Three Pretenders?), along with bassist Billy Greer, and Dixie Dregs guitarist Steve Morse. You would think that the addition of Morse would give a boost to the prog portion of the music. Maybe it does, but the songwriting is so poor that at best what you get are some OK, but short, intros, good guitar solos and a few fills, around lame verses and choruses.

The one slightly bright spot is Musicatto, but it's doesn't make the album worth purchasing.
