To be honest they haven't been "Kansas" since Monolith, which is my least favourite seventies album. After that they were a really good AOR band that sound like someone else entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well let's put it this way...are there many other albums coming out that are worth spending money on? I'm thinking no. For giving us 40+ years of awesome material, I don't have a problem buying the CD, listening to it once and tossing it on the pile if I don't like it. Walsh did have vocal problems when I saw them 3 years ago. Not surprised he left.He's had vocal problems for more than 3 years, more like 23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame that he's lost it. Kind of like Geddy but at least he sounded pretty good up until Snakes and Arrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame that he's lost it. Kind of like Geddy but at least he sounded pretty good up until Snakes and Arrows.Walsh did too much coke and drank too much booze. Also not having his voice trained probably hurt him in the long run, (obviously it didn't hurt him in the short term), but age is obviously a big factor too and wear and tear. Singers like Glenn Hughes, the other Kansas guy John Elefante and others benefited from light touring schedules over long periods of the 80's and 90's. Here's how Elefante sounds these days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTsgwrtIItg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Steve was at his worst in the 1990s when he was a full-on drug addict, but when he got sober, he did improve dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V-itepA9Hs I like the music itself but they sure have that snare drum way too high in the mix. But that's with me listening to it on my phone. Maybe it'll sound better on CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all of them would get producers with the name Smith or Jones we would have some awesome sounding albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tick Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I don't know. No walsh is a hard sell. I don't really like the albums without him the first time around. MickSaw them with Ronnie last Summer. He was excellent.Steve Walsh is the man! But I have no doubt these guys will make a great album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
