Reviews:

''Masque'' is the third album by US rock band Kansas, released in 1975

On the heels of their ''Song for America'' album, Kirshner Records began to apply pressure to the band for a hit single. After some discussion amongst the band members, Kansas decided on a compromise and went to work on their third album, ''Masque''. Vocalist Steve Walsh contributed a few shorter, more accessible songs to the set, but Kerry Livgren's dark epics retained much of the style from the previous recording. The album is somewhat of a bridge between Song for America's heavier sound Leftoverture's more commercial direction. Although the collection contains some fan favorites such as "Icarus - Borne on Wings of Steel," "The Pinnacle," and "All The World," the shorter songs failed to impress radio audiences. The opening track, "It Takes a Woman's Love (to Make a Man)", was remixed for increased radio airplay, but failed to gain attention. - Wikipedia
