SONG FOR AMERICA

Kansas' second album is also their second best (after Leftoverture), by only a slight margin. On it, they have perfected their American symphonic prog style, even incorporating it into the two rockers, Down The Road and Lonely Street.

But the highlight is obviously the title track, Song For America, a magnificent symphonic prog piece, as good as just about any prog of it's time. Powerful and complex, this song highlights just about everything this band stood for at the time.

Not far behind are Lamplight Symphony, The Devil Game and Incommudro - Hymn To The Atman, all excellent examples of the great work Kansas could produce.

I highly recommend this album.
