Product Description
CD Description
Special Limited Deluxe Collector s Edition / Remastered - Sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology by Jon Astley (the Who, Judas Priest, Eric Clapton etc) / 12 page full colour booklet 4,000 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and full artist involvement. They say nine lives, cat s eyes. Amazingly the same can be said for Kansas. Drastic Measures was the band s ninth and final studio offering before hanging up their instruments. As the prime purveyors of progressive pomp rock, Kansas ruled the roost during the 70s accruing the sort of multiplatinum success that they could only have dreamed of at the start of their career back in their hometown of Topeka, Kansas. But it wasn t just album sales that won them an immense following. Against all odds they actually scored hit singles, taking their music into the hearts and minds of a new and expansive audience. Drastic Measures , originally released in 1983, was the band s second album to feature new vocalist John Elephante an appointment made necessary after the departure of Steve Walsh. Not surprisingly, the band s sound was evolving, moving with the times and displaying a more accessible timbre. Sure, the progressive rock element was still entirely audible but the songs and delivery fitted into the jet stream of men on a mission. AOR for sure but with an edge and urgency that leaves little room for debate. Produced by Neil Kernon (Queensryche, Dokken) the sound is both contemporary and sophisticated, allowing the band to fully embrace their past yet utilise the latest technology. Contains the top five rock hit single Fight Fire With Fire .

Different, but still good

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I agree with others that this album is not as good as the albums before this one, but Drastic Measures is a lot better than all the albums after it. "Fight Fire with Fire" was the big hit from this album, but my favorite song is "Mainstream". Other songs I like are "Everybody's my Friend", "Don't Take Your Love Away", and "Incident on a Bridge"
I like this album, but my dad doesn't. It just depends on what type of music you like.
