5Still amazing  Nov 01, 2009
I would normally rather listen to my refrigerator run than classic rock due to an overdose of 70's rock in high school, but this is the one CD I haven't given away and cannot part with. Each time I listen to this album I mildly fear that I will find it "cheesy" and worry that it was puberty that made me love it so much initially, but it never happens. I love it every time. I am a little surprised that this album isn't more esteemed. I think it is brilliant and relevant and surprising and it hasn't aged a bit.

5Excellent  Oct 26, 2009
I honestly don't see how Kansas fans can find fault with this record. I think its the strongest release I've heard of theirs (which runs from the first through Audio Visions.) This record in my opinion is kind of the genesis (not to be confused with the band Genesis) of progressive metal. It certainly didn't start with Sabbath or Deep Purple. When I think of stuff like Fates Warning, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, I can honestly hear the origins of that style in the heavier songs on Point of Know Return. A great record. Great musicians who aren't afraid to make great music, regardless of whether its being done with an acoustic guitar, piano, or whatever.

1Classic but different  Apr 14, 2009
I love the first song - Point of No Return - but was disappointed that all the other songs are completely different and off the beaten track. A little too out there for me - but Kansas is still a classy group.

4not as good as previous albums, but good enough  Feb 24, 2009
Something is not quite right with Point of Know Return. The band knew they had become such a huge hit with Leftoverture, but they either didn't have enough songwriting ideas for a follow-up album, or were influenced by the late 70's disco, anti-prog scene and the music suffers as a result. Whatever the case, this is clearly not as solid of an album compared to previous efforts.

The title song is classic of course, and "Closet Chronicles" is a really good song that takes us back to the classic progressive rock days of the band. The closing song just around seven minutes long is FANTASTIC! But, I don't know, "Paradox" has an average verse melody to me, and "Portrait" is merely an okay song, nothing more. Oh, can't forget "The Spider". Even though it's only a couple minutes long and probably ripped from some Emerson, Lake and Palmer album, it's still pretty awesome.

Going commercial sometimes has its problems, and while Point of Know Return manages to be a pretty good album regardless, it's still not on the same level as the other Kansas albums released before this one.

5The land of ahhs  Oct 27, 2008
This is one of several great works by a very unique band from the great central plains, the heart of America.
