Where this album fits

Career context
Released on September 12, 1977, 'Chicago XI' came during a transitional period for the band following their commercial peak in the early '70s. It was their first album after the departure of founding member Terry Kath, which led to a shift in their sound as they explored more polished pop-rock elements.
