Dennis has said in the past that Styx was only ever capable of writing 8 good songs an album. If you could cut down the songs onto BNW to 8 songs what would the album look like?

Track Listing:

I Will Be Your Witness
Brave New World
While There's Still Time
Number One
Best New Face
What Have They Done to You
Fallen Angel
Everything Is Cool
Great Expectations
Heavy Water
High Crimes & Misdemeanors (Hip-Hop-Crisy)
Just Fell In
Goodbye Roseland
Brave New World (Reprise)

1.Brave New World
2.I Will Be Your Witness

5.Heavy Water
6.Fallen Angel
7.Number One
8.Goodbye Roseland
9.BNW Reprise

The Dennis tracks still seem like they'd be on a different album, but they're worthwhile songs.

Bear in mind that a couple of these "Just Fell In" and "Best New Face" are more "fun & catchy" songs for me, but I'd hardly classify them as "great." They only beat out the rest because if I never heard any of the others again, I'd be OK. (Altho, the bridge in "Number One" is really good, the rest of it leaves a lot to be desired).

This one is easy

I Will Be Your Witness
Fallen Angel
Number One
While There's Still Time
Everything Is Cool (GOD I hate this Lyric, but it's a favorite)
Great Expectations
Heavy Water
Goodbye Roseland


"Number One" holds special significance for me - thats why it's here.


"You won't feel the pain
and you won't mind the rain
can be happy all the time

one dose twice a day
the world will go away
and you'll be smiling through the worst of times"

No particular order:

Fallen Angel
Goodbye Roseland
While There's Still Time
I Will Be Your Witness
Heavy Water
Everything Is Cool
Brave New World
BNW Reprise

Bugsy
