New Styx Album

[shortwavez23]

I was at a bbq this past 4th of july and my buddy busted out with Styx's new Album, Big Bang Theory. now i use to be a fan back in the day but i didn't even know they came out with a new album. it was a bunch of cover songs but surprisingly it was pretty good. "I am the walrus' was pretty good. i kinda miss Styx, good to hear them. anybody else hear the new album yet?

Well Rush have a new album where they have reverted to their roots and apparently cover blues/rock standards. I liked Styx also but Im not sure I want to hear covers. New materiel maybe.

My girlfriend's father gave me a bunch of his old albums he was getting rid of, and one of them was "Equinox" by Styx. I listened. I laughed.

yeah i was a little hesitant about cover songs too but after listening to the album i enjoyed them

I haven't listened to the album, per se, but I have listened to clips from all the songs. Sounds surprisingly good :). Much better than there last album, a pile of crap called Cyclorama :p.

they have a new studio version of Blue Collar Man on the new release, and it was sweet to hear!

Styx still sings...

I hate Styx. I despise them. I just can't stand their sound. It's like fingernails on a blackboard. I had to covermy head with a pillow when they came to Summerfest.
