Very nearly everything the casual Kansas fan needs.

"Very nice job on the mastering of this CD. You'll hear Kansas' recorded brilliance better than ever.
As a compilation, this set captures the essence of what was the best period for Kansas fans. Sure there are some pieces that I personally would definitely swap out. For example, leaving "Icarus--Borne on Wings of Steel" out of this collection is practically a sin, yet, we get "Fight Fire With Fire" and "Play The Game Tonight"... WHY!? Still, after I gave the CD a couple of spins, I was hard pressed to find much else to really complain loudly about. (Ok, I wasn't really crazy about the order of the tracks on the CDs)
So much great music. Long-time fans will still appreciate and enjoy the improved clarity of these recordings. First-time Kansas listeners are are the verge of a great discovery!"
What a bargain for Kansas fans

"I am so glad they focused on the "Epic" period and not the sad county-fair concert days of MCA. Buy this now.
Also, I want to say that I appreciate my fellow reviewer's comments in this thread as being one of the most bizarre I have ever read: "if you want to look good for the opposite sex, a good way to do it is to clear your living space out of all other Kansas anthologies and replace them with this one. If you want a good reason to wear a Kansas T-shirt for your significant other and/or your favorite celebrity, this anthology offers 33 reasons why such a desire is perfectly normal for young-to-middle-aged single people."
Kansas = Sexy? That is a new take. What's next, picking up chicks with Rush?
Well we can dream can't we?"
