Drastic Measures ist das neunte Studio-Album einer der größten AOR/Prog-Rock-Bands der 70er Jahre aus Topeka, Kansas mit Frontmann John Elefante.
Es ist das letzte Album mit Kenny Livgren und Dave Hope.
Der Sound auf dieser Platte ist radio-freundlicher Pop-Rock. Einen Gastauftritt hat Ambrosia- Frontmann David Pack (Hintergrundgesang). Einige Songs brauchen mehrere Anläufe, bis sie beim Hörer landen, doch dann ist es ein Album, das man von Anfang bis Ende hören kann.
‘DRASTIC MEASURES’, originally released in 1983, was the band’s second album to feature new vocalist John Elephante – an appointment made necessary after the departure of Steve Walsh. Not surprisingly, the band’s sound was evolving, moving with the times and displaying a more accessible timbre. Sure, the progressive rock element was still entirely audible but the songs and delivery fitted into the jet stream of men on a mission. AOR for sure but with an edge and urgency that leaves little room for debate. Produced by Neil Kernon (Queensryche, Dokken) the sound is both contemporary and sophisticated, allowing the band to fully embrace their past yet utilise the latest technology. Contains the top five rock hit single ‘Fight Fire With Fire’.
