		Chicago XIV has received undo criticism of not being a great album; however, I would tend to disagree.
		Chicago XIV marked the end of a chapter for the band; this was the last studio album to have songs written solely by members of the band.
		Chicago 16 marked a drastic change by adding extra studio musicians (look at the liner notes and you'll see several members from Toto contributing their talents), as well as outside songwriters.

	Chicago - XIV
		Chicago is an impressive band of musicians with a career spanning multiple decades; their first album was released in 1969, and they steadily released albums throughout the 70's, 80's, 90's and into the 2000's (though the 90's and 2000's entries consist largely of Live recordings rather than studio albums) ever since.
		I make quick mention of their extensive career because the Chicago of the 80's (known for sentimental pop-rock ballads) is not the Chicago of the 70's, which possessed a far more eclectic rock sound.
		XIV didn't contain the life of their 70's work, nor did it contain the lush melodies of their 80's ballads, and as such it remains to this day one of the worst albums ever produced by this accomplished band.

		Chicago XIV is by far, the hardest rocking record Chicago would ever record after Terry Kath's death.
		Chicago XIV has a rawer, rockier edge to it throughout, but most notably on the Robert Lamm-written album opener "Manipulation" - which is the closest the band ever came to new wave power pop.
		Chicago XIV may be a joke, but it's not bad.

	Chicago
		Two of Chicago's best-ever songs may be featured here, but much of the rest of the material is a letdown when compared to them, giving one a false impression of how good the album might be.
		Chicago's third double album in a row is what I like to call the band's official jam record.
		Even so, Chicago III is immediately seen as a carbon copy of Chicago II, as the structure of the album is almost identical, and the music is trying to be just as ambitious in most respects.

		More is expendable, and Chicago Music, Inc. responded to the departure of Peter Cetera by hiring another blonde, bass-playing tenor with sex appeal in the person of Jason Scheff.
		Indeed, it's often possible to not notice the horns on 17; they either fade into the background or meld seamlessly with the synthesizers that are the primary instruments here, providing not just the fabric but foundation of nearly all the arrangements, as synth bass and drum machines replaced the rhythm section.
		Chicago's set list is wholly representative of the material from Chicago Transit Authority (1969), Chicago II (1970), and Chicago III (1971) and includes several extended multi-song medleys from each.

		Pinnick, who was Chicago's touring guitarist from 1980 to 1985, departed the band prior to the recording of Chicago 18.
		Chicago's current guitarist is Keith Howland, who came on board in 1995, crashing the auditions to do so.
		Chicago has not made a full studio album since Howland joined the band, so he has not had much opportunity to contribute in the studio.

		When, in 2002, Chicago's biggest hits were assembled together on the two-disc set The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning and the album debuted in the Top 50, giving the band the distinction of having had chart albums in five consecutive decades, the music industry and some music journalists may have been startled.
		Chicago marked the confluence of two distinct, but intermingling musical strains in Chicago, IL, in the mid-'60s: an academic approach and one coming from the streets.
		Chicago VIII, which marked the promotion of sideman percussionist Laudir de Oliveira as a full-fledged bandmember, appeared in the spring of 1975, spawned the Top Ten hit "Old Days," and became the band's fourth consecutive number one LP.

		Chicago 16, we now know, with its two gigantic hit singles ("Hard to Say I'm Sorry" and "Love Me Tomorrow") represented a massive commercial resuscitation of a band that all but the most devoted of fans had written off years earlier.
		There are many who mark Chicago 16 as the point at which Chicago jumped a certain shark - the first shameless trick in a decade of whoring to the demands of Top 40 radio - regarding the album as the band's definitive break with its more respectable socially conscious jazz-rock past.
		The result being their 1984 album Chicago 17, which isn't a collection of songs so much as it is the shimmering, oily byproduct of a well-maintained automaton - a Stepford band - an immaculately conceived, spotlessly produced, seamlessly mixed exercise in crisp power-chordage and computer-generated love notes.

	Eric Benjamin Gordon's Tribute to Chicago (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		From 1969 through 1990, Chicago’s horn-driven and heavily diversified rock sound has been praised, adored and, often taken for granted by many people in both the music business and down in the crowds.
		Chicago 17 went platinum six times in 1984 and became the band’s best-selling original album, with singles like “Hard Habit to Brake” and “You’re the Inspiration.” Peter Cetera left Chicago in 1985, followed by Chris Pinnick.
		To this day, the band that began as Chicago Transit Authority and grew into Chicago has been written off as a blast-from-the-past power-ballad band, with very few listeners regarding their efforts from the early 70’s.

		But then, in 1980, they were only two years away from the advent of MIDI and the over-reliance on that which, in the hands of David Foster, would change their sound forever.

		Chicago [+]'s 14th long-player went primarily unnoticed when first released in the summer of 1980.
		His contributions were short-lived, however, and prior to working on Chicago XIV [+], Chris Pinnick [+] was hired and soon became the combo's third lead guitarist in as many years.
		When coupled with the poor sales of Chicago [+]'s previous albums as well as the group's complete de-prioritization from its record label, the significant lack of focus resulted in a disjointed effort.

		Background: Chicago is the longest-running and most commercially successful of the hordes of jazz-rock bands with horn sections that sprung up in the late '60s wake of Blood, Sweat and Tears.
		After major personnel changes which included the death of founding guitarist Terry Kath due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound Chicago eventually mutated into a more conventional pop group that was able to score hit after hit well into the '80s, usually with romantic ballads.
		In 1995, they attempted to merge their unique sound with Big Band music for their album Chicago: Night And Day (Big Band), which consisted of covers of songs originally recorded by Sarah Vaughan, Glenn Miller, and Duke Ellington who was the main inspirationbehind the album.

		The Chicago Transit Authority was released in April, 1969, hit the Billboard album chart for the week ended May 17, 1969, peaked at #17, and by 1972, had been on the charts for 148 weeks, then the highest-ever total for a rock album, with many more weeks to come over the years.
		Chicago II was the double album that gave Chicago not only a shortened name (due to legal threats from the bus line, even though they were using CTA's songs in their ads without paying for them!), but also significant radio exposure, as well.

		Infuriated that their "one from the heart" was passed on, the band and the label were at a stalemate, whereupon Chicago decided to leave the label.
		Chicago had always been one of the most innovative bands in popular music, but because of the success that Peter Cetera's ballads garnered for the group, both Columbia and Warner Bros. wanted more of those.
		As a result, Chicago lost their ability to think out of the 'box', and the record companies overlooked both their classic Chicago-styled and their more cutting edge compositions when it came to choosing songs to release as singles.
