The first time I heard Fooling Yourself on the radio at a grocery store I thought he was singing:



"You're killing yourself



*KILLING YOURSELF*"



and I couldn't stop laughing.

Just listened to this again today and it still rules. Miss America is such a jam



My nostalgia for this band certainly helps of course. They were one of my favorite bands as a kid

in this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams

My dads first concert was this tour but I didn't fully try to listen to it until I was out of high school

"Miss America" is a banger and I'll be taking no arguments at this time



Heard them play it live once and it rocks

why does styx get so much hate? never made sense to me, I think they're good. they have never done very well critically.

Album Rating: 4.0

This era of rock in general is often derided for how flashy and poppy it was, oriented more so to the 'stadium/arena' sound than something more artistically satisfying. The fact that Styx took a dramatic turn into that direction and DeYoung's ballad nonsense further soiled their reputation in the modern day, as it turned them into a joke that got passed on.



Really, compared to peers, they were putting out fairly engaging progressive rock that could balance dramatics with songwriting prowess. It's no surprise to me that the group found their footing again without DeYoung; their latest album is surprisingly excellent.
