When The Tower of Power left Warner Bros. for Epic, many felt that it was a good move. In retrospect, it proved a disaster. This second Columbia album was a marked comedown from the first, which was erratic but still contained the essential Tower ingredients — hook-laden songs, exuberant vocals, and punchy charts and instrumental support. This not only didn't have any of these elements, it was poorly produced and woefully arranged as well.
