Album Notes & Community Reviews
Ushering in a significant transitional era, this release marks the group's first venture following the tragic loss of founding guitarist Terry Kath, and the introduction of Donnie Dacus. Breaking from their tradition of numbered titles, the production embraces a heavily polished, radio-friendly sheen that actively courts the burgeoning soft-rock market. Though a commercial success featuring the hit 'Alive Again', the shift away from their foundational jazz-rock complexities divided their established audience.
