Summary: "How Can Kansas Follow Leftoverture ? Answer: Point Of Know Return."

For Kansas Leftoverture had been the breakthrough recording in 1976, good news, yes, but how to build on that success ?

1977's Point Of Know Return equals it's predessessor with the interesting title track, the fantastic Dust In The Wind, Nobody's Home, Hopelessly Human and a live song, Sparks Of The Tempest.

For any enquirers I suggest you start with either album and if impressed, go on from there.

Summary: "Satisfied customer"

CD is in good shape, and looks new. I haven't listened to it yet, but I was more concerned whether it was in good shape or not, and it looks like that was not a problem.

Summary: "Still amazing"

I would normally rather listen to my refrigerator run than classic rock due to an overdose of 70's rock in high school, but this is the one CD I haven't given away and cannot part with. Each time I listen to this album I mildly fear that I will find it "cheesy" and worry that it was puberty that made me love it so much initially, but it never happens. I love it every time. I am a little surprised that this album isn't more esteemed. I think it is brilliant and relevant and surprising and it hasn't aged a bit.

Summary: "Excellent"

I honestly don't see how Kansas fans can find fault with this record. I think its the strongest release I've heard of theirs (which runs from the first through Audio Visions.) This record in my opinion is kind of the genesis (not to be confused with the band Genesis) of progressive metal. It certainly didn't start with Sabbath or Deep Purple. When I think of stuff like Fates Warning, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, I can honestly hear the origins of that style in the heavier songs on Point of Know Return. A great record. Great musicians who aren't afraid to make great music, regardless of whether its being done with an acoustic guitar, piano, or whatever.

Summary: "Classic but different"

I love the first song - Point of No Return - but was disappointed that all the other songs are completely different and off the beaten track. A little too out there for me - but Kansas is still a classy group.
