Music reviews of Best of
Music Review: Real music from a real band
Rating: 5 Stars
Now this is music. Before the hundreds of shallow pop bands that mostly dominate the music industry today, there was Kansas. Kansas created music with beautiful melodies, unique blends of various instruments, and lyrics with real meaning. The band was made up of true musicians, not a bunch of talentless individuals trying to blend in with the rest of the music industry. They created a musical experience unlike no other, and this album demonstrates some of their greatest musical creations.
Carry On Wayward Son - Wonderful vocals, great piano, and several smoothly performed tempo changes.
Point Of Know Return - Another great song, this one has very active violin during the chorus.
Fight Fire With Fire - Unfortunately, I would say that this song doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the album. It has more of a 80's feel to it, with more electric guitar than the other songs, not to mention a different lead singer.
Dust In The Wind - A slower song, but very, very good. A perfect blend of acoustic guitar and violin.
Song For America - Beautiful 3 minute intro in this one, it builds up to the lyrical climax. Very interesting use of synth in this song.
Hold On - The violin adds a heavy emotional atmosphere to this song, and the vocals uphold that atmosphere. Good song with good lyrics.
No One Together - Very talented piano, mixed with just the right amount of violin and synth.
Play The Game Tonight - Another song on the cd with John Elefante as lead singer, but this one blends better with the rest of the cd than Fight Fire With Fire.
The Wall - Good electric guitar intro, powerful but not too powerful. Good use of synth in this song.
The Pinnacle - This song is an epic song with everything: electric guitar, piano, synth, and violin. Great vocals, espeically near the end.
The Devil Game - Rousing song with good violin and synth. Great lyrics and vocals.
Closet Chronicles - This song is performed live. Good music and poem style lyrics. A good closer for the album.
All in all, this cd is a beautiful example of real music Kansas-style.
