I pre ordered I don't want to miss out on it, I want to hear this CD always a special thing when an old great prog band like Kansas certainly are releases something new , what I've heard so far seems pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLY4KMirXKA a new clip called Jets Overhead of Kansas new album , sounds magical in some places so much like 70's Kansas with a twist.

I wonder if the title is a reference to the coronavirus. I don't really see what else it could be.

You're supposed to copy the string after "watch?v=" and not the entire YT url. xD

I plan on ordering this when I get my paycheck. I love Kansas and I love the 3 songs released so far, especially Throwing Mountains. This lineup is rock solid and the title track clocks in at just under 9 minutes!

Looking forward to it. Prelude Implicit was excellent , almost undistinguishable from classic seventies Kansas.

It's excellent imo. If you like Kansas generally then check it out. If not then avoid like the plague!!

These last 2 albums have easily been their best since POKR imo. I really admire that On these albums they aren’t trying to sound their 70s days, they are exploring new sounds and have really created a new identity and sound in this later potion of their career. This album even sounds quite different from the prelude implicit. I hope we get at least one more out of them!

To be honest I don't think the sound has changed that much at all .. but I still like it.

I agree. One reason can be that they have a new member in Tom Brislin who has taken on a big role in the song writing, so maybe it's not surprising that it is different from the previous album. Brislin even sings lead vocals on the closing track. I already like this album more than The Prelude Implicit, just as I thought I would. Edited by SouthSideoftheSky - July 20 2020 at 01:10 |

Still only about 47 minutes in length (which is short by today's standards) there wouldn't want to be any filler.

Just posted my review, really enjoy this album and have been listening a couple times a day. I recognize its no leftoverture, but this new musical path Kansas is taking makes me happy. I hope their next album keeps writing in that awesome progressive style of the Title track. Throwing Mountains, Propulsion and The Song the River Sang.
