CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY "CHICAGO" remains a classic album, encapsulating its time (1969) in all its tumult and glory. The Vietnam War (and the civil unrest it inspired) was still raging, the counterculture dream had not yet crashed and burned, and rock music could be taken seriously as an "art form" while still generating "hits." Chicago Transit Authority, with their then-new fusion of jazz, rock, and poprock mixings, rose high on the charts, while taken seriously both in and beyond the rock-critic establishment. (Some jazz listeners respected and enjoyed Chicago as well.) Their approach had a freshness and vibrancy--"25 Or 6 To 4" was surging, dramatic, and slightly ominous; "Fancy Colours" and "Make Me Smile" were full of energetic fresh optimism; a four-movement suite showed the band had ambition beyond the three- or four-minute poprock song. The album opens with four great songs in a row...One of Chicago's best albums in their catalogue by far along with their first which rocked hard and had great songs, this album rocks as well, but the material here is better and more experimental... To paraphrase one of Chicago's song titles, it was only the beginning.
