Peter Cetera doesn’t get enough credit for his playing. Any bassist who can keep up with and complement Danny Seraphine is a 1%er in my book.

Can't speak for anyone else, but when Terry Kath pulled the trigger that morning, Chicago died. This whole album is great! Now that you've heard "this" band, you can hear a totally different band, from the same album, when you hear "I'm a Man" or "Questions 67 and 68" or "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" Lot of diversity on this first album! Listen to it all, it's all over the place! That moment when Lex spontaneously busted out with a "Ha, Ha" during a change is what music is all about! Hope you never lose that enthusiasm!

Early Chicago was one of THE greatest bands. Three singers, multiple songwriters, and boy did they take chances. Fabulous brass arrangements throughout. Really fun watching you react. Yes, this music was life-changing for us when we grew up with it -- glad it's still affecting people like you today.

Terry Kath was the guitarist. He wrote this but he couldn’t read or write music. So Jim Pankow (trombone) sat down with him and transcribed every note. The band called it Terry’s Masterpiece.

You literally have no idea how happy this makes us "Baby Boomers" for young people to rediscover this amazing music that we grew up with. Continue to discover music from the 60's and the 70's as this was "Real" music. Please, please keep this great music alive! Teach it to your children and your grandchildren. It's way to good to let it slip away......

This entire album, in track order would be terrific.

Impossible to overstate how groundbreaking this was for the time. Kudos for starting right at the beginning rather than with just their well worn hits. Great choice!

This was the original sound from Chicago were they fused elements of Jazz and Rock into a whole new sounding form. When terry Kath, lead guitar and vocals, was leading the band this is music Chicago consistently put out. Sadly terry left us too early and the band changed it's direction to more of a pop and ballad sound. For me a must for you to react to is "25 or 6 to 4" which is their absolute masterpiece.

Everything….. EVERYTHING on this album is incredible. It’s really one of the best debut albums of all time.

I never want to fall into the trap of saying that today's music is terrible and the music of yesterday is the best. Nevertheless, if you think about the music that was released between 1964 and 1974, it is possible to say that there has never been before or since a 10 year period where music experienced such an explosion of diversity and excellence. Thank you for the reaction.

Mr. Danny Seraphine slaying the drums... An unsung, underappreciated legend.

25 or 6 to 4 live at Tanglewood is a must see! The late great Terry Kath's guitar solo is legendary.

You owe it to yourselves to just make your way through the entire album. It will be time well spent. All the members of Chicago were barely in their early 20s when this album was being made. This debut was so mature for musicians so young.

My older brother brought this album home when I was 11 years old. We played it incessantly. Finally my dad (a professional jazz and swing trumpet player) poked his head in the room and said, "Those cats are really good!" Needless to say, all four of us brothers waited for each new album to come out. They were very good for a very long time. They still sound great in concert FIFTY TWO YEARS LATER.

This song is titled Introduction for a reason. Terry Kath wanted a song that highlighted each instrument and group of instruments in the band. Vocals, Horns, Keyboards, Percussion, Bass, Guitar. Brilliant.

I am so glad somebody finally decided to start with Chicago at the beginning of the beginning. You're the first ones to get this right. This song is exactly what it says it is, an introduction. Let the goose bumps happen. Terry Kath was a monster singer and guitarist

'Make Me Smile' will make you smile for sure. Terry Kath shines.

The trumpet solo by Lee Loughnane is absolutely stunning and breathtaking as well as the trombone solo by James Pankow!!!

The first 3 albums by Chicago were all double albums. Extremely rare.

Hey guys. You didn't ask, but it's worth noting, Chicago had three lead vocalists on their early albums. This song featured Terry Kath (guitars), and there's also Robert Lamm (keyboards), and finally Peter Cetera (bass). Cetera, of course, went on to sing most (not all) of their hits. Yes, those sappy ballads you've heard. Still, he is a great singer, and an awesome bass player.
