On this album they were clearly trying different things.Some of it sounds like TOTO, some sounds like Ambrosia.Gone is the Jimmy Buffett style they had unconsciously attained on the first 4 albums.This album is not about escapism like their previous ones, this album is very much a sign of the times in 1979.It has a 1979 gas-shortage,Ford vs.Japan,bad economy tension to it.I liked I Want You Tonight when it first came out,but like all disco, it got old real quick!The track that I love on this album is For Another Town.That song makes this album great.Even if this is my least favorite by the group, I applaud them for moving in a different direction.P.S. this is the greatest album cover in the history of album covers!!!
