“God Save the Queen” is perhaps the best track on ‘Twenty 1,’ and easily one of Chicago’s better post-Terry Kath songs.

Chicago’s version of this Diane Warren song comes off as a paint-by-numbers effort included to appease a record company chasin’ a hit.

Stumbling into Chicago’s Robert Lamm-sung “One From the Heart” was like finding a relic from an ancient civilization.

Jason Scheff is a vocal powerhouse on Chicago’s “What Does It Take,” singing with so much emotion and emphasis.

This is another keyboard-heavy ‘Twenty 1’ track with histrionic vocals and by-the-book guitar solos that will never remind anyone of the real Chicago.

Composed by the established hitmaking team of Tom Kelly and Bill Steinberg, “You Come to My Senses” isn’t a bad song. It’s just a bad Chicago song.

“If It Were You” is a flawless song, yet Chicago left it as an deep cut on 1991’s ‘Twenty 1,’ releasing dull, lifeless ballads as singles instead.

All things being equal, Chicago’s first album of the ’90s should have been a hit.

Unfortunately, Chicago had no idea how to make a promising demo from Marc Jordan into something of their own. Here’s my suggestion.

Bill Champlin does his best, but Chicago’s utterly generic “You’re Not Alone” could have been a minor hit for any number of other bands of the same era.
