Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding profoundly on the horn-driven jazz-rock fusion of their debut, the sprawling double album solidified their immense commercial and critical standing. Defined by James William Guercio's lush production and Robert Lamm's multi-part 'Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon', it seamlessly bridges deeply ambitious progressive suites with massive, enduring pop-soul singles.
