I was never one of those critics who derided the populist sensibilities of Styx and REO Speedwagon . . . in fact, I think it's far more important for a band to consistently connect with its audience than... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~23598763652 Tue, 22 May 2001 18:12:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_23598763652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_23448686212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rockwriter - I am in two minds about whether to recommend this album to a serious Styx fan. On one hand, musically I think it's an interesting look into the formative years of a band that went on to become one of the most successful in the world. On the other, these... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~23448686212 Mon, 21 May 2001 18:50:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_23448686212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_23324233348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rockwriter - This concert film is an interesting chronicle of 1983's somewhat ill-fated tour in support of the 'Kilroy Was <br><br/>Here' album, which was considered by many Styx fans to be a complete debacle. How much you enjoy this is largely dependent upon how... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~23324233348 Sun, 20 May 2001 23:33:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_23324233348?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_23314665092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rockwriter - 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... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~23314665092 Sun, 20 May 2001 22:25:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_23314665092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_23289040516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rockwriter - 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... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~23289040516 Sun, 20 May 2001 18:58:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_23289040516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_23286681220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rockwriter - Like all longtime Styx fans, I was really looking forward to this album, the first with the classic lineup (minus drummer John Panozzo, who passed away in 1995) since 1983's 'Kilroy Was Here'. <br><br/> <br><br/> I get the feeling that if Styx' trio of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~23286681220 Sun, 20 May 2001 18:32:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_23286681220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_23159082628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rockwriter - This Greatest Hits collection on Styx was long overdue. For years, the casual consumer who wanted all their favorite Styx songs in one place had only two options. One was the rather cheesy A&M Hits collection Vol. Whatever, with its poorly produced... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~23159082628 Sat, 19 May 2001 20:24:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_23159082628?linkin_id=8003929
