Title: Needs more and better songs.
Review: Well, I bought this CD because I love Mr. Roboto and thought the story was interesting. The problem is the record doesn't stand on its own, unlike other great Rock Operas. The songs aren't that great and don't grab the listeners attention. The role playing by the different members of STYX isn't that intriguing. And it needs to be longer. The story begins after the interesting stuff has happened: Music is persecuted, Moral Majority takes over, people become reliant on machines. The bulk of the plot is listed as back story. How great would it have been to have a number by Kilroy while he's in prison? It just needed more. This would have been a great idea for a movie had the songs been greater in quantity and quality. I was hoping this record would rank up with the Rock Opera great such as the Wall and Quadrophenia, but it ended coming up quite short.
