Most Underrated Styx Album

Of the following albums, which one would you pick as Styx's most underrated. Underrated doesn't just mean in sales. You might think that Cornerstone is underrated because so many people complain it (even though it went multiplatinum). ONLY these choices - saying None of The Above is not a choice.

Higgy, Are you a politician? You seem to love these polls :wink:

Yeah, I actually like doing them on a bunch of different boards. They are kind of fun though - don't you think?

I dunno...among Styx fans, at least, I think Equinox more or less gets the credit it deserves.

For me it was Serpent, just slightly edging out BNW.

"Brave New World"..

As we've all talked about before, it should have been shorter(and recorded together.. :roll:), but there are some good tracks here.

1.I Will Be Your Witness
2.Brave New World
3.While There's Still Time(I'm not in love with this one, but everyone else seems to dig it).
4.Number One
5.Fallen Angel
6.Heavy Water
7.Everthing Is Cool(see #3)
8.Goodbye To Roseland
9.Brave New World(Reprise)

Now, had just this track listing been recorded and produced as a solid band, this could have been quite the comeback album.

Ayup. Only reason Serpent beat it for my vote is that, for all its flaws, it does function better as a cohesive collection of tunes than BNW.

Yeah, I actually agree that "Serpent" and "Miracles" are also a little underrated, but I'm not sure which one is more so..

I'd say "Brave New World". My opinion is based solely on what I've read on this message board.
And I've admittedly not read everything here yet. (You people sure talk alot! :P )
I think the only thing wrong with the album, if you can call it wrong, is that there is too much orchestra
sounding shit going on. The songs, I think, are all basically good.
