RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 lol, it seems like the page count just skyrocketed once people figure out the new record was actually awesome. "The Mission" is currently my "Album Of The Year." It is mine as well. I am very surprised that Japan has not pressed this cd with a bonus track or special packaging! Hopefully they will!!

Presto-digitation Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 My close second is Mastodon's new one. But I really didn't expect Styx to deliver, so it gets the edge for being such a pleasant surprise in addition to a fine album. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 The Mission is definitely my Surprise of the Year pick, but we'll see if it can hold of the new Steven Wilson or Arcade Fire for my Album of the Year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Not that I listen to a lot of music from the current year, but the new Styx is gonna be right up there with the new MisterWives and the new White Reaper on my tiny year end list.

Segue Myles Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It's lovely to see Styx get all this love. But I honestly don't get it. But all the same, it must be a great feeling for the band to deliver more than mere nostalgia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The biggest Styx fan I ever saw on the forum was Cosey Toes. I wonder if he's still interested in the band these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I didn't read this entire thread so i don't know what has been said about this album. Never cared much for Styx, but I have to say that for such an old band to have come out with an album like this at this late stage of their careers is impressive. It's really good. Locomotive is my favorite song on the album. Edited July 24, 2017 by Lorraine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 New album is still sounding really good! And because of it, I have listened to the old Styx stuff more this summer than I had in years! :dweez: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) So, I'm downsizing from a huge house to a modest one, which means I;m getting rid of a lot of stuff. Included in that is all my old vinyl albums. So, I sold them this weekend at a garage sale, all for a buck. Super cheap, but it was cool to talk to people and to see collectors go nuts at the price and the selection. The first guy bought 49 albums. After two days of selling, as we were shutting down the garage sale, I slashed the price to two for $1. Most everything was gone at the end of the day, except for an original pressing of this... You can't give this one away! Edited October 29, 2017 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Death grip - that's a good way to describe it. He just went totally off the rails there in those later years. He went from writing stuff like Lady, Lorelei and Suite Madame Blue to stuff like Why Me and Music Time.

Like look......on their 2 buggiest records- Grand Illusion and Pieces.....Deyoung was definitely there. but they kept him in check so it worked.

Check out pretty much any interview with him and you can see it. But Babe put him over the edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
