May 7, 2012
Pros: some great singles; one or two other good tracks
Cons: you’re better off with the Greatest Hits packages
Summary: . When Styx first started off way back in 1972 when they released their debut, they were a totally different band that finally disbanded (initially) in 1984. This isn’t because they were very successful, and ... read more

Pros: Most of it.
Cons: Not much.
Summary: There was turmoil in the Styx camp as this album came to fruition. The power struggle between Dennis DeYoung, master balladeer, and young rocker Tommy Shaw, was coming to a head: getting a Number One hit out of their song "Babe", from the ... read more

Pros: The best writing the group did together and musically unmatched by any other attempt
Cons: The last of the truly great Styx albums.
Summary: This is my favorite album by my (gasp) favorite band EVER!! I know what you are thinking, because most people do when I say that, but that is okay, I can live with myself and that is all I really need. Anyway, Paradise Theater is by far the best ... read more

Pros: Pleasingly powerful with super-sizzling string-work
Cons: none
Summary: Yet another of Styx's greatest moments. Never before have I heard an album with such musical power as this. A stifling amount of heavy-hitters, and a seemingly calm moment which turns into yet another triumphant rock album.

Pros: The last truly great Styx studio album
Cons: "She Cares"
Summary: 1981's 'Paradise Theater' was the most successful Styx album ever, and spawned a tour that was, in its day, the highest-grossing rock tour of all time to that point. It was here that Styx reached the peak of its theatricality, largely on the ... read more

Pros: A good rock album.
Cons: None.
Summary: Styx never got the respect they deserved. And, if you're a big Styx fan such as me, you know that this album, Paradise Theater, is a slap-of-reality to the critics. This album defines why Styx has survived through almost three decades, and to prove their ... read more

Cons: Dennis DeYoung's Voice Can Get On Your Nerves After A While
Summary: Part of the music write-off between experts kristinafh and chrisbickel. Make sure to check out Chris’s review.
Even as a youngster, I was a tremendous top 40 fan. Music though, didn’t seem to leave a much visible mark on me. As soon ... read more
