''Masque'' is the third Album by US Rock band Kansas , released in 1975 (see 1975 In Music ).

On the heels of their ''Song For America'' album, Kirshner Records began to apply pressure to the band for a hit single. After some discussion amongst the band members, Kansas decided on a compromise and went to work on their third album, ''Masque''. Vocalist Steve Walsh contributed a few shorter, more accessible songs to the mix, but Kerry Livgren's dark epics retained much of the style from the previous recording. Although the collection contains some fan favorites such as "Icarus - Borne on Wings of Steel", "The Pinnacle", and the Walsh-penned "All The World", the shorter songs failed to impress radio audiences.
