Glad you caught that Monker. It was between 'Homewrecker' and 'Best New Face'. Homewrecker won the coin flip.

LOL, I had to laugh at that. "Homewrecker" has to be some of the worst dreck Styx has ever produced. I can still vividly remember going to purchase the "Love is the Ritual" cassette single - not because I liked it, but because it was new Styx. I disliked LITR enough, but when I flipped it and put on "Homewrecker" I thought, 'Man, what the FUCK?!' LOL.

Hasn't it been said that song was supposed to be a metaphor about Dennis?

[Baron Von Bielski]

I've tried to like, but really can't. I won't go into too much detail, but it's one of their worst. By this time it seems the band wasa bit formulaic and predictable. Dennis had one too many AC efforts, Glen took over for Tommy with some acoustic style rockers and JY had the straight forward almost hard rock song. Don't get me wrong, I like the album. . . but it's ranged in the bottom half.

The same thing was said about half the songs on Cyclorama...and none of it is true.

This certainly could be. I thought I read somewhere that JY actually admitted that it was. This was due to the fact of how he felt about what Dennis wanted to reform Styx back in 1990.
