I saw one, maybe two ads for it in magazines. That's certainly not going to get any new listeners to chime in on their music. Instead of just tossing this album out on the market, Chicago should have released videos of songs like "Feel" and the Cetera-esque "Love Will Come Back" to put their name out in public again. It really pains me to see another great album by a great band flounder like this. I ask people at my school what they think of Chicago and they reply "who's Chicago?" It kills me. So much unappreciated talent. With their connections with Rascal Flatts, "Love Will Come Back" could have become a much bigger hit. All in all, I loved the album. I"ll admit it does feel a little overproduced at times, but that could just be a last-minute attempt to try and sound contemporary. If the band is planning on any new recordings, I'd enjoy some more '70s-sounding tracks. A recover of "Dialogue" would be excellent with the war in Iraq. 682922@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Dec 2007 18:59:22 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/22/175354.php#comment-657369 It's Nov. 07, and I'm just hearing about this album? That's because nobody talked about it. Not the hard core fans anyway. Have you ever tried performing their music? Then you'll never understand where critics are coming from. Oh, their old style won't "sell records" today. That's because of the dumbing down of pop music. Where are the horns? Where have they been for 25 years? Only on Night & Day that's where. When that came out, even Jimmy said " for those of you who gave up on us (the horns) this album is for you". Well it's the only album I've bought since #13. I LOVE their ballads, but as usual, the horns could have phoned this one in. Use em or lose em. 657369@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:56:56 EST
