Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the follow-up to their successful major-label debut, the Chicago power-pop trio continued to refine their hook-laden, romantic guitar rock. 'Destination Universe' is driven by Jim Ellison's knack for crafting sharp, bittersweet melodies reminiscent of the late 70s new wave era. Although it failed to replicate the massive commercial impact of its predecessor, the album remains a beloved gem among alternative pop enthusiasts.
