Free Music Review: Styx lives!
Hit: 5 Stars

This 3-CD set shows Styx beautifully hitting their stride, with Tommy Shaw joining the band and rounding out their sound. Prior to Shaw's entrance(which can be heard on the 4-CD Wooden Nickel set), Styx were doing a great job of "evolving into Styx," but this 3-CD set is a MUST for anyone who wants to own a very important chapter in the history of Rock and Roll. These songs feature Styx helping to writing the book on how to perfectly balance and blend "progressive rock" professionalism and creativity with intense, fun ROCK AND ROLL. A previous reviewer stated that Styx is currently about "how are we(meaning Shaw,Young,and whomever they can get to play with them) going to pay the bills, without Dennis DeYoung to carry us. Tommy Shaw coerced James Young to fire Dennis because he didn't like to do 'shows' and now they have to find other has beens like REO to tour with to draw people to their shows." I will refute that right now. Dennis DeYoung and Styx parted ways in 1999. In the six years since then, whether it be Styx alone or Styx co-headling with other "has beens" like REO Speedwagon and/or Journey, concert tickets with the name "Styx" on them have generated NINETY MILLION DOLLARS in ticket revenue. That's $90 MILLION! Or, $90,000,000.00.(Get it?) And that's SINCE 1999(since DeYoung's departure). Sound like a band struggling to pay the bills? Sound like a band on "has been" concert tours? Sound like a band who previously needed Dennis DeYoung to "carry" them? And by the way, on August 22 2005, "Styx Greatest Hits" was certified double platinum(see Billboard.com, click on "RIAA CERTIFICATIONS"). In concert these days, current keyboardist and co-lead-vocalist Lawrence Gowan(who has 8 platinum albums in Canada) is doing a phenomenal job breathing additional life and energy into Styx's music. His keyboard playing, his backing vocals, and his lead vocals are helping Styx's concert tours maintain and increase interest in the classic music of Styx, as evidenced by the aforementioned recent double platinum status of Styx "Greatest Hits." Every time Dennis DeYoung gets a royalty check, he should send Lawrence Gowan a "Thank You" note. And did I mention that Gowan has more vocal range than DeYoung? I have now. Buy this 3-CD collection, go catch Styx on their current concert tour, and experience the fact that Styx' music stands the test of time. Also check out their two studio CD's with Lawrence Gowan, 2003's "Cyclorama" and 2005's "Big Bang Theory." Both are awesome.
