MONOLITH

This is the start of the downfall for Kansas. Most of the songs on this album are more normal rock songs. Of course there had been a lot of these songs on earlier releases as well, but there are no epics and the songs are more stripped. You can still hear that it is Kansas playing though and for the hardcore fans this is still a worthy album allthough not great. I´m not too impressed though.

Songs like On the Other Side, People of the South Wind and How My Soul Cries Out for You are ok songs in my ears, while other songs on this album are really boring.

Even though this is the best of Kansas "Bad albums" it´s not very good and I have to give this one 2 stars even though it might deserve 3, but I just don´t enjoy it much.
