	There are people who really like this album, but as a long-time Kansas listener I consider it substandard. The cover is hideous, "Loner", "Don't Open Your Eyes", and "No Room for a Stranger" are embarrassingly weak, and the other songs, while not bad, are nowhere near the best the band has ever done. Consider this a "completists only" album.

	Yeah, the cover does not impress, but this is still a pretty good Kansas album, and a pretty good Kansas album is better than a lot of other mainstream rock records.

	^ That's true but at this point they were past their heyday. Just doesn't have those epic songs as on the first 5 albums.

	I am a big KANSAS fan and this one is my I but no where near their best.I think things went south after Point If No Return. Audio Visions isn’t a bad album in my opinion but it’s just a notch or two below there earlier works

	It's actually not bad. I have never heard the two Elefante albums that immediately followed so I can't compare them. From what I understand though this is sort of middle of the pack Kansas. I think it's good but they do have several albums that are much better. I think even Monolith is over all a bit better. Of the songs I remember off the top of my head I like "got to rock on,""no one together," "relentless," and especially "hold on." Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - February 05 2018 at 18:14
