Title: A major disappointment
Product review: I bought this album thinking that the lush rich cohesive sound that has been known as STYX would once again be prevalent in 1999. Unfortunately, this is hardly the case here. Unfocused mish-mash is the best way to categorize it. It definetly falls into two camps - Dennis DeYoung's 5 songs are the strength of the album with Fallen Angel, While There's Still Time, and Goodbye To Roseland sounding liek traditional STYX. Tommy Shaw and JY's songs could have been cut down by two thirds. What a bunch of filler junk! The STYX harmonies are almost non-existent and the sound is just God awful. My dog starts howling when he hears some of these songs. Witness, Just Fell In, What Have they Done for You, Number One, and Brave New World Reprise, and Heavy Water all should have been left on the cutting room floor. This album is STYX's equivalent of Dan Marino's last game (A 62-7 drubbing). What a disappointment.
