Title: Album really isn't that great
Product review: This is a response to the writer from California, who wanted to hear from fans that weren't as crazy about this record as some reviewers. Well, he's right--this record is very inconsistent and reflects the fragmented way it was written and recorded. The only songs where Styx remotely sounds like a unit are "BNW", "Everything is Cool", and "Best New Face". The rest are split into Tommy and Dennis tracks with the obligatory one James Young song, and it's pretty clear which of these writers are lazing around on past habits and which have kept making new rock music. I mean, which track from Hunchback will Dennis mine next for the band, "Hey Quasimodo"?In any case, this disc gets changed after "Heavy Water" pretty much every time I play it, and most of the time "Fallen Angel" gets skipped too. Five stars to Styx for finishing the new record and clearly making many fans happy. But a more realistic 2 stars for the actual quality of the product.
