Freaks of Nature is the twelfth studio album by the American rock band Kansas, released in 1995.[6][7][8] Two edited singles were issued but did not chart, nor did the album itself, making it the only Kansas studio album not to appear on any Billboard chart. The band promoted the album by touring with the Alan Parsons Project, and then opening for Styx.[9][10]
