At the peak of their popularity in 1978, decided to maximize their sales potential and exploit their loyal audience by having each member release a solo record on the same day. Instead of sending sales through the roof, it had the unexpected effect of stopping their momentum cold. It wasn't because the market was flooded with product -- although it certainly was, since they released nine albums, including two double-live records and a compilation, in the course of four years -- it was because the albums were, for the most part, terrible.

Even fans will have a hard time making their way through this record, or any of the other solo albums. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
