POWER marks yet a second re-invention of the Kansas sound, this time with original vocalist Steve Walsh. Like DRASTIC MEASURES, their musical direction bears little resemblance to original classic incarnations of the band which was best known for longer prog-rock song structures. The songs here are leaner, but possess more of a hard rock edge - thanks to the razor sharp guitar playing of Steve Morse. This is certainly an improvement, but old fans will still feel a bit alienated by the ongoing identity crisis Kansas grappled with during this era. The singles "Power" and "All I Wanted" are okay, but just seem quite dated and a little sappy in retrospect. Steve Morse really cuts loose on "We're Not Alone Anymore" and the opener "Silhouettes in Disguise" which has a bit of that Dixie Dregs vibe. A decent effort overall, even if does sometimes feel a bit average.

Second half is better than the first half and begins with a great instrumental Musicatto. The remainder sounds like 80s pop rock.

With Steve Morse aboard you'd think this would've been a killer. Only the opening track rocks out, and it still fails to deliver any thrills. The rest of the record is competent and bland.

Almost all of the songs are very enjoyable. They have got the 80s vibe in them. But what the album lacks is a feeling of uniqueness, passion and epicness. It just doesn't hit you right in the feels.
