Then given that he sings 60% of their songs, you really can't consider yourself a Styxfan, so why don't you go the fuck away?

Made Dennis 1 million dollars when he sold it to VW for the commercial.
Of course Shaw and JY wanted 33 percent each and Dennis said no thanks.
So they got revenge and found Larry who has no scruples and the sandbag began

The quick summation of my thoughts: oy.

I have to agree with a lot of people - the beginning verses with Gowan hanging out there is just not very good. I don't mind the different phrasing; that's not the issue. He hits the notes fine, so his range is OK. My problem is the sound of his voice is just not right; it's too thin, and he warbles a bit when holding long notes (and it sounds like he goes slightly out of tune at the end). You can say Dennis went "Broadway" at some point (which he's dialed back since), but this is the opposite end of the spectrum in not a good way. Ironically, the double tracking (and adding Tommy in for harmonies) for everything past this is MUCH better (and is more pleasant than on GI), but still not very good. As I've said numerous times, I like Gowan on his tunes, but he's all kinds of wrong for singing some of the Dennis ones. It's a blessing and curse, because he brings a lot to the table for Styx.

I have no huge issues with this musically. It's somewhat like their live version, but more in line with the old studio one at the same time. The most disappointing thing is the guitar work. Until the end, it's a bit muddy in the mix, which could be a mixing issue, not a playing issue.

The best part about this track? Todd's drumming. He bridges what John did with also making it his own. Kudos.

If they really wanted to polarize people, this is arguably one of the tracks to do it. If I had a #2 on a list of "Please let Tommy sing this song instead of Gowan" songs after "Queen of Spades", it's this one. It's irked me since I first saw them with Gowan. I disliked it then, and the studio version makes it that much more glaring.

Straight on.
To re-record Dennis' material just invites band slammage. Why put themselves through that?

New Music. Please.


I don't think anyone who is a fan of Styx would argue they'd rather hear new stuff (even if it's crap) over covers or re-records. I look at this release as a momento of the upcoming shows/tchatcke to sell. I may rag, but I'll be the first to admit that what I have heard is better than I thought it would be, but I had fairly low expectations to begin with. I'm honestly more curious to hear the Tommy tracks than Gowan doing Dennis' tracks. Same for JY - I'm more curious t hear his Lorelei on proverbial tape since I've never found him doing it particularly bad.

This release is not going to convert anyone who dislikes Gowan in Styx to love him. It's not the worst thing ever (which I'm seeing people essentially claim it is), but it's also not going to make people forget the originals. It may even have a more polarizing effect, but that remains to be seen. All I know is that Dennis still gets paid either way since they would need to pay him mechanical royalties on the songs he wrote or co-wrote. Beyond that, let everyone debate this to death lol

Beyond everett and born4 (same person btw) and babyblue (maybe also same person) opinions, this really is awful...it truly is very sad. The first half of the song, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I wonder went on in the studio during this. After they recorded it, played it back, did they really think to themselves "This is great. Let's include it on the album" ? Clearly, Tommy and JY are back on drugs, because that could be the only reason that explains why they would want to put this out on a record of any sort. I agree the musicianship is fine and the harmonies are better than the grand Illusion's, but the first 3 minutes of the song are just pathetically excruciating. Guys, here is a suggestion for you...maybe next time don't recreate your signature song without your signature vocalist. I don't care what dollars you see in your eyes. Because this makes a mockery of the entire concept.

As froy said, how sad. It really is. If I didn't know how they got themselves into this position, I would kind of feel sorry for these guys.


Amen. Gowan is a warbler, and sounds like a Billy Goat. I thought this quote from a poster on youtube says it all: "The vocals are truly awful....its almost like they are trying to destroy whatever dignity's left of this once great band". How sad. I would rather they came up with new music. I thought Cyclorama was a pretty good disc - including Gowan's contributions. He seems OK on his own damn songs. Maybe because he writes song conducive to his narrow range. They should be embarrassed. I agree Toph, how could they, as a a collection, have listened to the first couple of minutes, and said "Man, that sounds great! Nice job Larry!" Good Lord.

Straight on.
To re-record Dennis' material just invites band slammage. Why put themselves through that?

New Music. Please.


It's because they feel they have a better chance at making a buck by rehashing their (or Dennis' if you will) past material that sold records. Plus, it's easier to rerecord something you've already done then write and record new material. I imagine it takes less time as well which fits their plan of touring all the time.

This sounds like a tribute band to me. The synth parts are cheesy, the harmonies are still week. They really should have left this stuff as it was. This may cause them more grief then praise. Although the bathwater drinkers will think this is the best thing since sliced bread.

I do enjoy Todd's drumming, but what bothers me the most of re-recording these old songs is not that it only removes Dennis' vocals/harmonies & keyboard playing, it's like they're erasing John's drum playing and history. It's really sad.
