Chicago VII was a decent, but messy, album loaded with great pop songs but weighted down by a side and a half of lame jazz fusion.
Chicago VIII was the band's 7th studio album (IV was a 4-disc live album) in as many years.
Chicago VIII closes with "Old Days", which was the album's biggest hit, and it's pleasant enough, but it points to the bands future as a generic radio-pop factory.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Chicago VII
In the '60s and early '70s, they were too "avant-garde." From the late '70s on to the present; they have been pegged as a "ballad band." The truth of the matter is that Chicago was a rarity; a band that could shift among multiple styles to create their own unique brand of rock and roll.
Chicago VII was the follow-up to the commercial success that was the relatively lightweight effort Chicago VI.
VII most definitely is a throwback to albums such as Chicago II, Chicago III, and Chicago Transit Authority.
