Neil's doing great. I had my doubts, but he's proven me wrong.

It's new Chicago, I hope they keep creating new music. We need some more guitar solos though.

Only With The Horns...

Yuuup.

Or marriage.

I see Styx.

It’s the Canadian spelling…as is Neil who wrote the song

I Know Right? It’s just the same tired old songs for the last 20 years since 2001. They don’t even play “Look Away” anymore, and that’s one of their most popular songs. Aside for one new song their set lists are so predictable (same old, same old) now.

According to Wikipedia Lou Pardini sings on songs 1, 3 & 8 only.

Lots of extra musicians, especially guitarists.

A heartwarming wonderful song about the growing up of our children. It brings tears to my eyes. Great Chicago sound Jeff Hanjian

I would suggest that my bandmates, Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane and Jimmy Pankow would prefer to differ. All 3 are on this track. That makes it a Chicago song. That and being on a CHICAGO album. It’s called evolution …

@@neildonell7952 It's a great song Neil. You're right, it's the new Chicago sound. I was a skeptic, but you are definitely part of the band. When you write and cut a record with these guys you are a band member. I wish you continued fortune and success, thank you for keeping my favorite band going into the future.

Chicago has many styles!

@@neildonell7952 Thanks for saying so. I think many pine not just for "the old days" but resist any form of change. The sound and style of this album is less different than the previous few then, say, 16 was from XIV, don't you think, with mostly the same people. But I think evolution is not always the same as change. The original line-up changed their sound over their first decade together. But new members are not the same sort of evolution. Didn't Jason get heckled when he replaced Peter? As a songwriter myself, a song is very personal. So if you wrote it, it is YOURS, but also Chicago's if they are included and gave it their treatment. You are a member now since '18, I think. So I wonder if Tim Hill thinks as song like Hard Habit To Break is more or less a Chicago song because it was written by outsiders. Is "I'm A Man" a Chicago song? They play it every show! However, I do get the sentiment. I recently read a quote by Lamm pertaining to Twenty-1 where he said in part: "In spite of all of the success that Chicago has had since 17, for me, [the material has] not really been [authentic to] the band." He was referring to the Diane Warren songs and others, even though she gave them some big hits earlier. The band played on those also, and were included on a studio album, but in that case members' reservations about them suddenly reflect what some fans were thinking as well. Hope you're with the band a long time. And I hope the personnel changes/departures stop or at least slow down a bit. I think fans and members alike have asked a version of the question: "is it still Chicago if there are no original members?" Bands like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Rush are on record for not dreaming of continuing even if one person was gone, in two cases THE DRUMMER. So personnel change issues are viewed very differently depending on the band. I wonder why that is?

@@neildonell7952 No disrespect, but long time listeners still miss Terry Kath's soulful contribution. This doesn't take away from your talent. It's a good song.
