       Styx

       I try to be fair in life. Saying that I’m going to go against my
       grain and already think the latest Styx release is an epic fail…
       without even listening to it.

       A thorough research reveals that the remaining boys of the band
       decided to reinterpret their classic songs that are famously
       known and sung by Dennis DeYoung. Since DeYoung’s departure, the
       Styx group, product, concerts and just average to bad. They’ve
       put out several studio albums and each one less enjoyable than
       the last. I cannot recommend any of them and I certainly would
       have no desire to see them in concert. Sure, Tommy Shaw has done
       decent with some of the songs, but sometimes you need to see the
       writing on the wall.
       What is going through the minds of Styx when they decide to
       re-do their classic songs. Prove something to themselves? To
       Dennis DeYoung? To their fans? Apparently the reviews say many
       of the songs are note for note perfect. Again… why? At the very
       least they are going to turn off purists and I guess try to
       attract new fans.
       I will try to listen to this. I know I’m already biased. But
       from what I’ve listened to in their latest product and line-up
       incarnation, this will not be pretty.

       I loath the idea of doing re-recordings of classic hit songs.
       Just check out my rant on this here.

       />I like Styx, but I'm not touching this one at all. Note for
       note? What's the point in that? If I want a carbon copy, I'd
       just go to the original.
