In contrast with Song for America, Masque featured a greater proportion of shorter pieces, and at least a few tracks that were apparently targeted towards a less prog-oriented audience - the "boogie" and hard rock influences are still present on this album.
Overall, Masque is a transitional work that finds the band sandwiched between the earlier prog epics and the mature sound they presented on Leftoverture (1976).
With this in mind, "MASQUE" would be in the Top 100 charts for twenty weeks, and thus peaking at a respectable #70 in early 1976.
