Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving several years after their initial burst of massive success, the trio's third studio effort exhibits a highly polished, refined approach to their trademark vocal harmonies. The intricate acoustic interplay is bolstered by sophisticated, jazz-inflected session playing, aligning the sound with the burgeoning late-70s soft rock movement. Despite ongoing interpersonal turbulence, the group delivered a cohesive, meticulously crafted collection of deeply personal songwriting.
