Renaissance - kindness at the end, 1978

"Given its date of release, “A Song For All Seasons” must be considered as a considerable triumph. If “A Song For All Seasons” isn’t quite as good as their previous albums, at least has the distinction of coming very close. Renaissance seemed to be immune from the onrushes of punk and AOR. If there was a capitulation, on this album, it was a minor capitulation involved, because it was more in the direction of the Euro-pop than anything else, which is to say, that this “capitulation” still allowed the group to operate within their normal parameters, in a way, at least on this album."
