Negative Positive
Title: Cyclorama
Review: Just as Queen without Freddie Mercury is not Queen, Styx without Dennis DeYoung is not Styx. His voice and arranging are vital.Clearly, as Cyclorama proves, the "real" Styx was a band greater than the sum of its parts.Styx was one of my favorite bands for 20 years. Imagine my shock, disgust, and anger to see them in concert a few years ago, and not see Dennis on stage -- neatly snookered, I was. I still want my money back. Thankfully, REO Speedwagon took up some of the slack.Dennis' writing did become too sappy in later years, but adults can work through these things -- the spoiled brats that remain with the poor remains of Styx obviously have yet to be able to -- heaven hopes they will find the much needed humility to grow up and try again.Never again will my friends or I spend one red cent on these phony, overstuffed, prancing liars.
