Chicago X (affectionately called "the Chocolate Album" by fans) is the eighth studio album by the American rock band Chicago. It was recorded at Caribou Ranch [3] and it was released by Columbia Records on June 14, 1976. The album made it to number three on the Billboard 200, [4] and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on June 21, 1976, a week after its release. [5] It was the band's first album to be certified platinum, [1] [6] on September 14, 1976, and has since been certified multi-platinum. [5] In honor of the group's platinum album achievement, Columbia Records awarded the group a 25-pound bar of pure platinum, made by Cartier. [7] ( Billboard magazine reported it as a 30-pound bar.) [8] [Note 1]

Contents

Chicago X was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, [13] [ dead link ] and it won a Grammy Award for Best Album Package. [14]

The album produced Chicago's first number one single in the United States, "If You Leave Me Now". [15] The single went on to win two Grammy Awards: for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus, the band's first Grammy Award; [13] and for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists, for arrangers James William Guercio and Jimmie Haskell. [14] It was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. [13] It would later go on to be featured in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V on the Los Santos Rock Radio station.

The two other songs released from the album as singles also charted on the Billboard Hot 100; "Another Rainy Day in New York City" made it to number 32 and "You Are On My Mind" went to number 49. [15]

Record World called "You Are on My Mind" "another Chicago X showstopper." [16]

Background

After recording Chicago VIII in a state of exhaustion, Chicago did not return to the studio until the spring of 1976, feeling refreshed after a substantial break away. Chicago X was released on June 14, 1976, to a receptive audience, giving Chicago a number three album on the Billboard 200 in the United States, [4] and their first album to chart in the UK in years, at number 21. [17] This was the group's most pop-oriented effort up to that point given that every song on the album starts with the 3-minute mark, coming in stark contrast to the lengthier and more complex compositions of the albums that had preceded it.

The album featured two top forty singles: Robert Lamm's composition, "Another Rainy Day In New York City", which peaked at number 32 after a brief run in August 1976; [18] and Peter Cetera's composition, "If You Leave Me Now", which became the band's first number one single in October of that same year. [19] Originally written at the same time as Chicago VII's "Wishing You Were Here", [20] "If You Leave Me Now" was one of the last to be completed and, according to reports, was very nearly left off the final product. [21] Band member Walter Parazaider has been quoted as saying he heard the song on the radio while cleaning his pool and initially thought "it sounded like McCartney," not realizing it was his own band's work. [21] The song became the band's first number one hit in the US and the UK. Some band members felt the song's success changed the public's perception of the band, leading to more demand from Columbia Records for ballads, [21] although Robert Lamm has since acknowledged that the band had started moving away from their politically-oriented music into the mainstream years earlier, beginning with 1972's Chicago V . [22]

Band members who normally were not vocalists received vocal credits on this album. The album is notable for the lead vocal debut of trombonist James Pankow. Different band singers tried "You Are On My Mind," but Pankow felt they were not nailing it the way he heard it in his head as the song's composer, so producer Guercio said, "You sing it," and that effort landed on the final album. [21] "You Are On My Mind" was the third single for the album, reaching number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1977. [23] Cash Box said of it that "the same mellow vocal blend is here, along with a velvety texture on the horns, but the rhythm section has speeded into a quick samba, decorated with colorful percussion.." [24] Lee Loughnane contributed the lead vocal for his song "Together Again". (Both Pankow and Loughnane would contribute lead vocals again on the next album, Chicago XI.) The brief vocal section of "You Get It Up" was sung by the entire band in unison — thus the album's atypical crediting of Danny Seraphine, Walter Parazaider, and Laudir de Oliveira with "vocals".

In 2002, Chicago X was remastered and reissued by Rhino Records with an early rendition of Chicago XIV's "I'd Rather Be Rich" by Lamm, as well as Kath's "Your Love's An Attitude" — both cut in 1975 — as bonus tracks. This album was mixed and released in both stereo and quadraphonic. [25]

Packaging

Designed by Art Director of Columbia/CBS Records, John Berg, the album art depicts a partially unwrapped chocolate bar with the Chicago logo on it, resembling a Hershey's chocolate bar as it was packaged at the time, [26] and winning for Berg a Grammy Award for Best Album Package. [14] The cover design is labeled "chocolate bar" on the band's official web site. [1] The cover art was included in a 2012-2013 exhibit of Berg's album covers at Guild Hall of East Hampton, [27] and is now in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. [28]

Critical reception

Zachary Houle writing for PopMatters in 2010 said. "It is an album of pop perfection ..." [29]

In 2016 Jeff Giles wrote, 'Chicago X may have arrived on June 14, 1976 with a little more spark and overall energy than you might expect from a group that had been on the road for a decade, but it lacked the compositional depth and musical muscle they'd shown earlier in their career. It was essentially a pop album — not a bad one, outside the somewhat lyrically dunderheaded "Skin Tight" and "You Get It Up," but one that couldn't help but feel a little light when held up against the double-LP sets of years past.' [30]

Notes

  1. ↑ Although Rolling Stone reporter Charles M. Young wrote that Chicago was awarded the platinum bar because it was the first band to receive platinum album certification for Columbia Records, [7] this was not the case. Chicago X was certified platinum on September 4, 1976, but Aerosmith's album, Rocks, also on Columbia Records, was certified platinum on July 9, 1976, before it. [9] [10] Billboard reported that the platinum bar was awarded in recognition of the group's ten platinum albums. [8] Billboard's account seems more likely in consideration of the two-full-pages advertisement Columbia placed in the June 12, 1976 issue of Record World announcing, " 'Chicago X.' Their tenth platinum album, on Columbia records and tapes." [11] The albums released prior to 1976, however, were not actually certified platinum by the RIAA until 1986. [12]
  1. ↑ Some digital and CD versions omit the countoff at the start of the song, thus shortening the track by about 8 seconds, to 3:16.
