I think we just need a FULL CD because the last few Styx CD's have been the following: Cover album, live album with two new songs and thats about it.
We need a full CD from them like Cyclorama, either way, im gonna enjoy their music and love it more and more each day!!

After a second listen, I just can't get into it. There is nothing new here, nothing that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up...
... I think it's some of their best stuff in a long while but not the same as the glory years.

Well, it's NOT the "glory years." Those days are gone. But wow, really? ANy time you hear a new song, do you expect the hairs on your neck to stand up to be able to enjoy it? Does it have to rival every best song you've ever heard? Sorry, that all kinda sounds like really high expectations you're putting on things. We've all been waiting to hear something so long, that when we do, it gets pounced like vultures on meat, and picked immediately apart. I don't find that terribly fair. Do you think the song would be more enjoyable (and everything else, maybe?) if it wasn't run six times through the "scrutiny ringer" first?

I can listen to a million artists who create songs that do nothing for me. It doesn't mean it can't be good for someone else. I am a fan of Styx and DDY so I gave my opinion of this song.

Just curious, did Just Be do anything for you?

If I ruined this song for someone, sorry...but in the future I would advise not visiting forums that tend to have opinions that you may not agree with if it's going to ruin it.

I promise, ya didn't ruin it for me. I was won dering more if maybe ya ruined it for yourself with the over-high expectations. ("You" being the collective bone-pickers, not you in particular, Grote) I was just saying it's tough to enjoy anything when you demand TOO much of it. I agree, a song SHOULD make you feel at least SOMEthing. But if it doesn't match the preconceived picture in your head, does that make it a bad song... or just a different one?

Oh, I'm still cool. I really liked the live version of Just Be. This new Dennis tune is on par with the studio version.

I had no idea what this would sound like other than the Froy buildup. I know he can sing, in that there is no question. I know that most of his most recent recordings I have not really cared much for so I think I came at this from a pretty even perspective. Do I think it is his worst offering? No. Do I think he can produce much better? Oh yeah. Will I like his new CD? I have no idea but I think it will be better than most of what he has done in recent times. I will give it a listen.

While I fully realize that a LOT of people detest this song, I will admit that it is one of my favorites. Maybe it was because the first time I heard it was AT the CYO show lasst year, maybe I'm a sucker for killer harmonies, maybe it's the haunting melody or the general message of the song that does it for me. Regardless, I think it's one of the finer Styx tunes of the past fifteen years, without a doubt. I think it's the business. I like it MUCH better than say, "Waiting for Our Time" or "Little Suzy."
