Just went and bought the mp3s at Amazon! I was in high school in the mid70s, bought Chicago II and Black Sabbath Paranoid as my first album puchases. Then got this, and the world changed. kath was my first guitar hero, and I still rank him with the greatest. How sad that he died so early. I've been listening to some old live shows, but cannot wait to ear this agan! Thanks! How great to see this here. Just went and bought the mp3s at Amazon!

It's hard to believe one album can have so many quality songs and, as you said, so much confidence. The fact that this is a debut is even more remarkable. I still listen to side 1 of the first disc the most, because I always want to know 'What time it is". This is one of my all time favorite records.

Both Chicago and BS&T maxed out on their sophomore efforts. By their third records they both began straying from the formula to incorporate a more friendly sound and both eventually morphing into bands completely different from their original concepts. However, I like both bands output for approximately the first five albums. Both bands' fourth studio albums (BS&T 4 and Chicago V, cos IV was live) are among my favorite outputs. However, both bands' debuts are also incredible—this one being a little more of a classic than Child is Father to the Man. And it really f***in' swings.
