Kansas - The Prelude Implicit
Review by Paradigmers The Game Changers
The Prelude Implicit, the latest album by American progressive rock band Kansas, has received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. The album marks the first release of new material from the band in 16 years, and its sound has been described as a return to the classic Kansas sound of the 1970s.
The album features 10 tracks, each showcasing the band's trademark musicianship and intricate arrangements. The opener, "With This Heart," sets the tone with its soaring vocals and lush instrumentation. "Visibility Zero" and "Rhythm in the Spirit" demonstrate the band's ability to create complex, multi-layered compositions, while "The Voyage of Eight Eighteen" is a standout track that showcases the band's prog-rock roots.
While some critics have praised The Prelude Implicit for its strong musicianship and songwriting, others have criticized the album for lacking the cohesive sound of the band's classic albums. Some have also noted that the album's production values are not up to par with modern standards.

Easily one of the best albums of 2016. Their first new studio album in sixteen years is absolutely amazing. Platt does an amazing job of replacing Walsh. "Section 60", "The Voyage of Eight Eighteen", "Summer", "Refugee" are just a few of the amazing tracks on the album. I absolutely loved this album, it was so worth the purchase. This and Metallica's "Hardwired...to Self Destruct" are easily my favorite albums on 2016.

I am a staunch & loyal Steve Walsh fan; but I was also a singer/songwriter & heard a snippet of this song. It touched my heart deeply & had to locate the song title. It is an absolutely beautiful song & Ronnie's voice perfectly compliments the lyrics.

Wow! Newbie to this classic rock scene - I litterally could right a script to this track...

Lyrics
Kansas - With This Heart (2016)
Don't you fear the darkness
I am here to guide you with this hand
Listen, feel the vibration
I am here to lift you with this voice
Don't be afraid
The tears you have will all fade away
What you are
Will always be within your heart
Don't doubt the strength you have deep within
You can move any mountain with your hand
Scream out, let the Heavens hear
You can reach the stars with your voice
Don't be afraid
The tears you have will all fade away
What you are
Will always be within your heart
Listen to the silence
There are answers in the void of sound
Your faith can open your heart from within
There's a warmth that shines from your soul
Don't be afraid
The tears you have will all fade away
What you are
Will always be within your heart
Don't be afraid
The tears you've shed have shown you the way
What you are
Will always be within your heart
With this heart
With this heart
With this heart
Kansas - With This Heart (2016)
Don't you fear the darkness
I am here to guide you with this hand
Listen, feel the vibration
I am here to lift you with this voice
Don't be afraid
The tears you have will all fade away
What you are
Will always be within your heart
Don't doubt the strength you have deep within
You can move any mountain with your hand
Scream out, let the Heavens hear
You can reach the stars with your voice
Don't be afraid
The tears you have will all fade away
What you are
Will always be within your heart
Listen to the silence
There are answers in the void of sound
Your faith can open your heart from within
There's a warmth that shines from your soul
Don't be afraid
The tears you have will all fade away
What you are
Will always be within your heart
Don't be afraid
The tears you've shed have shown you the way
What you are
Will always be within your heart
With this heart
With this heart

Prelude implicit è un album molto godibile e ben eseguito.... non direi lo stesso x the absense of presence che a mio parere contiene poche tracce interessanti e mi pare un po confuso. Comunque x me i kansas sono e saranno sempre il mio gruppo preferito.... certo quando c'erano Steve, Kerry e Robbie era tutta un'altra storia. Long live KANSAS
