DRASTIC MEASURES

Just plain dreg. Kansas with no Steve Walsh and Robbie Steinhardt is just Journey as far as I am concerned. This is not your father's Kansas. It seems like a clear case of hanging on for dear life to capitolize on the name for a few bucks. "end of the AGe" is the only redeeeming song here, and Livegren has done WAY better on many occasions. Was he saving his A material for solo work? No matter, this may be only for completist and even then NOT. I have all Kansas albums except this one, VInyl Confessions, Power, and In the Spirit of THings. All others are essential. These are not, especially this one. 1 star.
