Don't get me wrong...I think Tommy is a great songwriter and musician...I just don't think his version of Styx is the right one. Bring back Dennis and I will start buying their records and going to their concerts again. Until then...Just download for free, listen once and delete it from your computer.kcfromks13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512911072470379088.post-48661366226400140662010-09-01T16:01:15.599-04:002010-09-01T16:01:15.599-04:00Do yourself a favor and listen to it on youtube fo...Do yourself a favor and listen to it on youtube for free or download a torrent for that matter and save your money, you wish you had. I have this and it sounds like a new band tring to hard to create there first album. Too much double track vocals and other weird audio tricks. It is a shame that styx would insult themselves this way, because Styx use to be a pretty good band with great talent. Two songs have already appeared on youtube and the rest will probably pop up before to much longer. Please, don't spend any money on this and listen to it for free. Your pocket book will thank you. It isn't worth the price.I have Heard these songs before and they are alot better in the original form (even a scratchy record of the original sounds better). The originals were also done in studio the correct way, not done with pro-tools and all the software that is out there today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512911072470379088.post-85008785830090542362010-08-30T21:31:23.836-04:002010-08-30T21:31:23.836-04:00The Sellout Is Complete Tommy Shaw Charlie Brusco ...The Sellout Is Complete Tommy Shaw Charlie Brusco Chuck Panazzo and Jim Young have killed the legacy of STYX. Putting out a Regurgitation CD that no record company asked for just to have a new 30 dollar product to sell at there shows tells me it's all about taking the dumb fans money who go to see them. They have Gowan doubled with high octane re-verb just so he could sound half way decent at best. I really believe they picked this trash singer just to shove it up DDY 's butt. So that makes Gowan the butt (no pun) of the joke. What a dumbo to be used by these guys for 10 years. Great job Larry keep following your pal Tommy around just to collect a pay check while you kill the once great band.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512911072470379088.post-16780201402623485562010-08-30T10:25:45.574-04:002010-08-30T10:25:45.574-04:00Styx is incapable of producing a new album with N...Styx is incapable of producing a new album with NEW songs or no one will produce a record for them.<br /><br /> One song is all you get on this rehash. The main reason for this rehash is so that they can redo Deyoungs songs and wouldn't have to pay him as much in royals if they used a song in a movie. They would still have to pay him for writing credit though.<br /><br /> Styx said a while back they want to ROCK out and that is one of the reasons Deyoung is no longer in the band because he was to soft in his music (babe, Best of Times are examples). The new song on this so called album isn't hard rock at all. Cyclorama, Styxs other album which had an ok hit on it also had a song that is not Hard Rock called Yes I can. The better songs on that album were written by Glen Burtnik who also is no longer with the group due to issues in the Burtnik family as well as issues in the styx family. Styx can't hold on to there better song writters...Put Dennis, Glen, and Tommy in a room together, and you might come out with a good album.<br /><br />Gowan is a great piano player and performer and can move a crowd, and criminal mind is a great song, but it is his song. Gowan's voice on Deyoung songs is lack luster to be nice about it. Grab a copy of 21st Century Live and listen to "Rockin the Paradise" it is not a good song by him and proves he needs to stick with songs that he can sing that are in his scope and range. <br /><br />Lorelei by Jy, hmmmm, Jy isn't bad on it, his old raspy high voice is ok, but he sure isn't Dennis Deyoung.<br /><br /> Speaking of Deyoung, he released an album with new music in Canada (One Hundred Years from now) and then released the same album in the USA and added two different songs and an omitted one song from the canada version. A few reviews said that the album sounded more like Styx than the band performing as Styx now sounds. Although the album didn't sale in the states because of poor management at the record company, the album was still good and had NEW songs on it (no rehash here folks).<br /><br /> Record company, does Styx even have a Record contract???<br /><br /> Rock and Roll hall of fame?? hmmm, not this version of styx, maybe a few members in hell first :), I kid because I care. You might see Dennis, Tommy,Jy, John, Chuck in the hall sometime. You could even see Dennis Deyoung in the hall first because of his accomplishements outside of styx as well as in Styx.<br /><br />Bottom line is, if you want a song for a multimillion dollar movie, get yourself an origianl song by Styx. If you want a song for your bar mitzvah, this might be right up your ally. If I purchase this, it might get one play,and then it will vanish into the night or become a cup holder like many of my aol disks did :). Sorry to ramble but I feel better now :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
