 Could have been better
I was disappointed with this Chicago effort. The opening track is good with the classic Chicago horns. The songs "Birthday Boy" and "Live it Up" didn't really go well and they clearly didn't make a good impression. I did like the songs such as the rocking "Hold On", the balladry of "Overnight Cafe" and the faster tempo of "Thunder and Lightning." The album is cleary a transitional one that linked the Donnie Dacus era (who left after Chicago 13) and the new era that followed in 1982 with Chicago 16.

Great album, no push from Columbia
This is an album of some great tracks, but Columbia had already decided to drop them from the label, at least that's the way the promoted it. Good solid songs with some heavyier, drier, gritty guitar. This is an album I always go back to. The bonus tracks are pretty cool and are mixed decently for unfinished/rehearsal-type material.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Did The Record Label Drop Chicago?
Did the record label drop Chicago from the label? There is not a problem with the sound of Chicago. The songwriting is still excellent and the vocals are still very good. If I think that this is a very good album, then all Chicago fans should purchase this album as well. Please enjoy this CD.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Disappointing for Chicago
Not a terrible Chicago album, the Peter Cetera selections are the best here. There doesn't seem to be much direction the songs are all over the map. Interestlingly enough their last album for Columbia after disappointing sales.
