Quite simply, an incredible, timeless American rock MASTERPIECE!
Kansas 'Leftoverture' is a prime example. Great, quality music truly stands the test of time. This was a 'tour de force' progressive rock performance when it came out in the 70's, and it still is now. In fact, considering the dearth of good 'free form' rock music these days, many would appreciate this killer release even more. As a 48 year young music afficionado of many genres, this is one of the few releases I purchased in every living format over the decades. First, as a high schooler, in album (LP) form, then 8-track tape, then cassette, then CD, and now even have it in MP3 form! I'm not going to say any more. If you like great, highly musical performances, do yourself a favor and pick up the remastered CD version of 'Leftoverture'. The sonics are much improved, as I can readily tell on my high-end 'Magnepan' (MG-12/QR) planar, hi-res speakers and McIntosh amp. Talk about an 'eargasm'! Steal it, borrow it, or buy it, and TURN IT UP!!!.


I love progressive rock, and I love Kansas
I have been of fan of Kansas since their first album (love Pilgrimage), and to this day their music just blows me away. You want to know what "progressive" rock is, just listen to the Cheyenne Anthem from this disc. I tell my kids who listen to (c)Rap music that I actually feel sorry for them, to not be be able to appreciate the true musicianship and prolific lyrics of bands like Kansas. This album is a true masterpiece.


Doesn't Get Better Than This
It's an album to devour. Every song is a hit - classic Kansas at it's best.


One of the best ever
Little did I know that this would become one of my favorite bands ever!! Over the years I bought it again on cassette, LP and twice on
CD when the remastered version came out. I bought this on cassette in the 70's because I liked Carry On Wayward Son. Those who like this CD will also love Masque which is as good if not better and also their debut CD.


Great CD
I loved it then and I still love it now. I first bought this as an album back in 1976 when it first came out. My 14 yr. old son discovered "Carry on Wayward Son" this past summer and loved it so I bought him the CD for Christmas. He was estactic and told me how he loved "Kansas". He immediately downloaded the entire CD into in his IPOD so I get to use it in my car, as well. It's a classic at best so you can't go wrong with this CD. It's a keeper!!!.
