Such an underrated album by one of American's most successful progressive rock bands. After turning out classics like Leftoverture ("Carry On Wayward Son") and Point Of Know Return ("Dust In The Wind"), anything following would be scrutinized. To me, however, this has always been a favorite of mine. This was the final Kansas album that wasn't full of shorter, poppier songs that dealt with more simpler issues and still maintained the characteristics of classic Kansas.
Listening to Steve Walsh is always a treat…although, it makes me sad to think how much he's fallen off. He is still a lot of fun to listen to; however, Walsh in his prime was hard to touch. Monolith is no exception of a true vocal onslaught by Walsh. "A Glimpse Of Home", "On The Other Side", and the absolutely stunning "Reason To Be" are true highlights from Monolith. I do believe this was the transition to the more pop side of Kansas (as was pretty apparent on the follow-up Audio Visions). Still, I still consider this a true Kansas classic with amazing music by the genius of Kerry Livgren. ~Progarchives
