Pros: The title track, "Miss America" and "Fooling Yourself" are good Styx songs. Cons: The rest are either overly bloated, boring or irritating.
Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...
Pros: Intelligent pop, a fusion one no longer really sees. Some of this stuff is timeless. Cons: Dennis DeYoung is a pansy. The "woe is me" gets a little thick.
Whew, what a day yesterday was, a classic blend of the good and bad. On the happy side, I received my first (maybe last?) hat from Epinions, which you folks basically gave me by reading my reviews and being kind enough to hit the "Very Helpful" tab. I ...
Pros: Beautiful Music that Lasts Through the Decades Cons: None with the CD, I just don't have enough time to listen to it all!
A few months ago I wrote a review about Styx's Paradise Theater that kind of set some Queen fans back a bit. But let's remember that this is my "epinion", and in my "epinion", I love to listen more to Styx than I do to Queen anyday! :) (okay, I'm...
Pros: Melodious and complex music Cons: Some vocals are sub-par
The late 1970s saw a decline in some of the major bands who had been prevalent over the last fifteen years. The Beatles, of course, were long gone. The Rolling Stones were about to plunge into irrelevance with the release of Some Girls, which...
Pros: Miss America, James Young's guitar and vocals Cons: Denis DeYoung's vocals, under produced Bass and drums
I could apologize to all of you Styx fans before but I wont. Styx is a group that has so much potential. This album had SO much potential as well. They have an amazing lead guitarist in James Young (who is also an amazing and underrated vocalist), ...
Pros: The concept is beautifully rendered, from a lyrical standpoint. Cons: I could have done with less keyboards; 'Superstars'
Styx, in my mind, never achieved true Progressive-Rock status because they were too gifted melodically. While Yes and Rush managed some fine melodies, they were hardly Top 40 material. Styx tried very hard to be prog-rock, with lots of dazzling ...
Pros: Love those keyboards! Cons: Only eight songs
This album was probably one of the most popular by Styx. It still had some of the style from their older music, but it had changed enough to make it hit the pop charts. Especially well known from this collection is Come Sail Away and Fooling Yourself....
Pros: The best songs Styx ever wrote Cons: Pretty short by today's standards
1977's 'The Grand Illusion' was Styx' commercial breakthrough, catapaulting them from a very popular band that was a steady seller, to one of the most popular bands in the world. It was the first of four triple platinum albums in four consecutive...
Pros: Interesting, nostalgic Cons: Kind of weird...
When I was 17 I inherited my brother's car. The fact that it was nicknamed "Dragon" should give you an idea of the kind of old clunker it was, but it did boast an 8-track tape player and, since my brother's new car had a CASSETTE player, I...
Pros: First "concept" album by Styx. Cons: Only eight songs.
This was the first Styx album I had ever owned. Okay, it was recorded onto an audio cassette so it wasn't really an album. However, the recorded version of the original album wasn't nearly as good as the real thing.
Pros: It's classic rock at it's best! Cons: It reminds me that I'm not as young as I once was!
When I was a senior in High School (we won't say when that was exactly...but I'm sure you could guess that it wasn't just last year) I had a boyfriend who loved Styx. I thought Styx was a "yucky" group, of course, once I actually heard them I...
Pros: Unbelievably killer from 70's rock kings Cons: Sometimes hard to get the shrink wrap off
I grew up with Styx constantly being played on the radio. My high school best friend and I loved listening to all their songs, even sitting around in his basement analyzing the cover art and lyrics. So, I decided to relive some old memories and bust out...
Pros: Contains some classic Styx songs. Cons: Only has 8 songs and it not long enough! :)
This album is defiantly one of the best Styx albums ever made. Not only has it got classics like "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)" and "Come Sail Away", it has my personal favorite "Man In The Wilderness" which...
Music. Other than being their first platinum-selling album, {^The Grand Illusion} led {$Styx} steadfastly into the domain of AOR {\rock}. Built on the...More at DeepDiscount.com
