Though the album charted slightly higher than their previous two releases, briefly denting the Top 100 on the Billboard 200, this would be the last Quicksilver album until Gary Duncan resurrected the Quicksilver name in 1986 with the album Peace by Piece and again in the 1990s with several albums.

gollark: At least it's better than a government just throwing money at the system to try and give everyone a degree they might not actually *need* in a sensible market which didn't discriminate that way.
gollark: <@!330678593904443393> Somewhat, sure!
gollark: My problem with the whole free-college/university thing (again, see here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/06/06/against-tulip-subsidies/) is that it's just propping up what seems to basically just be an expensive and time-consuming signalling scheme at great cost.
gollark: Frequently.
gollark: Er, I was talking about university/college being a nigh-pointless signalling thing.
