Kansas bandmembers began to drift apart in the early 1980s. During the tour supporting "Monolith", Livgren became a born-again Christian, and this was reflected in his lyrics on the next three albums, beginning with "Audio-Visions" (September 1980). "Hold On", a Top 40 single from that album, displayed his new-found faith. Hope soon converted to Christianity as well. This would be the final album with the original lineup (until they briefly reunited in 1999–2000), and also the last Kansas studio album to be certified gold by the RIAA.
