One of the most complex of Livgren's songs...and no studio tricks...they performed every note live as well.

It seems that everything we do is wrong
A one way trip to nowhere all along
Just look around and tell me what do you see
Another stupid page of history

The Kansas album with the least Kansas sound, due to only 3 songs by Livgren and the rest by John Elefante (who was only in the band for 2 albums). And due to the departure of Robby Steinhardt and his violin.

It's still an interesting record though, in large part due to the prominence of Ehart's drumming throughout, who is the most underrated drummer in rock IMO.

It also contains this Livgren gem:

When the mountains fall and the heavens roar
Then the reign of man will end forevermore
