Background
Released in November 1971, it was the first album without original members John Cipollina and David Freiberg. Nicky Hopkins had also left at this point to continue his successful journeyman career. Only Gary Duncan and Greg Elmore remained from the original quartet. The album also saw a major decline in sales: whereas their previous four albums had reached the Top 30 on Billboard, Quicksilver failed to dent the Top 100.[1]

gollark: That doesn't actually address the thing very much.
gollark: Incorrect how? As I see it, those who decide to die and/or not have children will generally reproduce (genetically or memetically) than those who don't.
gollark: That unless you coercively obliterate all humans at once, it won't actually work.
gollark: The most obvious objection is that there's selection pressure against voluntarily extincting yourself.
gollark: Oh, of course you're looking at that.
