Customer Reviews Kansas - 2nd Album And Another Winner Of the first three albums this one is probably my least favorite, but it is still chocked full of great material. Kansas second album was another slice of prime American progressive rock mixed in with more straight ahead rockers. The album opens with the rocking "Down The Road" featuring Robby Steinhardt on lead vocals. This one has been a concert staple for years with Steinhardt also ripping it up on violin. "Song For America" follows. For many this is an ultimate Kansas track, but I have heard it so many times over the years (this is another live staple) that I have somewhat grown tired of it. "Lamplight Symphony" is an 8 minute progressive rock masterpiece. "Lonely Street" is a prime example of Kansas use of blues mixed with prog. Steve Walsh is great on this one and it has always been a favorite of mine. "The Devil Game" is another scorching rocker, and the album closes with another progressive rock epic "Icomudro-Hymn To The Atman" clocking in at over 12 minutes. Not a bad song in the bunch really and another really strong album from the band. fantastic cd I have enjoyed it for 28 years now. Kansas's best album, experimental and fun to listen to. real Kansas This is Kansas in its prime. Excellent in your face street rock. Insane vocals by Steve Walsh. Add this one to your collection and "Masque" too. . You can see a complete list of all Kansas discography, or go back to the Kansas tabs
