Despite containing a few hidden gems, Chicago's 14th long player went primarily unnoticed when first released in the summer of 1980. The concurrently popular music styles of new wave and punk, as well as the last remnants of disco, had all but abandoned the septet's dependably horn-driven pop and dramatic balladry. In retrospect, it seems that the band had not yet recovered from the tragic loss of Terry Kath (guitar) less than two years earlier. Although his role had decreased somewhat by the mid-'70s, Kath continued to provide Chicago with both a stabilizing spirit as well as a unifying sound. Former Stephen Stills sideman Donnie Dacus (guitar) helped out on the definitely unlucky release Chicago 13 (1979). However, he had already jumped ship before the band began working on Chicago XIV (1980) and Chris Pinnick (guitar) soon became the combo's third guitarist in as many years and after a decade with the same primary personnel. On top of that and despite ten years of significant successes, Chicago was no longer considered a top priority by its record label. This significant lack of direction resulted in one of the group's more unfocused entries. The vast majority of the album's material came from either the Peter Cetera (bass/vocals) or Robert Lamm (keyboards/vocals) camps. While the pair had long been considered as Chicago's strongest respective songwriters, Cetera in particular was emerging with a definitive and soulful delivery especially notable on "Song for You" and "Overnight Café," though he bails on the half-baked "Hold On." Conversely, Lamm's "Manipulation" is a strong and aggressive opener, yet any initial momentum quickly dissipates with lesser sides such as "Upon Arrival" or the tongue-in-cheek "I'd Rather Be Rich." A decidedly more successful outing from Cetera, Lamm, and Danny Seraphine (drums) is "Thunder and Lightning" -- which is highlighted by some jazzy chord changes reminiscent of Steely Dan's "Fez" or "Josie." The 2003 CD reissue includes three additional bonus selections -- the funky "Live It Up" from James Pankow (trombone), as well as a pair of additional Lamm rockers, "Soldier of Fortune" and "Doin' Business" -- the latter of which was previously available on the Group Portrait (1991) box set. After cutting ties with Columbia Records -- with whom the band had been associated for over a decade -- Chicago took a two-year hiatus before re-emerging with Chicago 16 (1982), which would garner the band several chart-topping singles as well as its first Top Ten album in over half a decade. ~ Lindsay Planer

This 2003 CD reissue of Chicago XIV includes three bonus selections -- the funky "Live It Up" from James Pankow (trombone) as well as a pair of Robert Lamm rockers, "Soldier of Fortune" and "Doin' Business" -- the latter of which was previously only available as a bonus track on the Group Portrait (1991) box set. Chicago's 14th long-player went primarily unnoticed when first released in the summer of 1980. After replacing the late Terry Kath (guitar) with former Stephen Stills sideman Donnie Dacus (guitar), the band attempted to update and stabilize its sound. His contributions were short-li

3 stars 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.

4 stars 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.

5 stars 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.

3 stars 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.

Chicago XIV album
CD $11.85  4 stars Audio Samples
Dannyland is California musical savant Danny Cohen's first true album of nonarchival material and his third overall. Epitaph's subsidiary Anti once again shows its stripes and puts its money where its mouth is in signing Cohen to a record deal -- and giving him a decent budget to record with. Musically and creatively, Dannyland is a wonder. For all the ink and self-perpetuated myth (not a bad thing at all in rock & roll) of being an outsider artist, he's far from inaccessible and far more so than some of the folks he usually gets lumped in with, who shall remain nameless. Cohen understands pop music very well; and while his use of textures and dissonances can be attention-grabbing, it is never harsh. Its orchestral approach is almost Baroque. Cohen's melodies and harmonies are wondrously full of old R&B, bubblegum pop, lounge textures, noir-ish '50s TV theme jazz, and a loopy, lush psychedelia that Van Dyke Parks doesn't have the imagination to conceive, let alone articulate. His sense of humor is deadpan and downright funny, and his musical accompaniment is full of mysterious layers and exotic soundscapes. His band includes sax wizard Ralph Carney, bassists Snake Howe and Christine LaPado, lap steel and lead guitarist Jon LaPado, keyboardist ...
