Out of all of the Styx's works this release is my favorite. I recently collected a compilation of my favorites of Styx tunes throughout the years and the one CD that pulled the majority of my favorites came from this release. Great White Hope, Blue Collar Man, Queen of Spades, Pieces of Eight, Renegade, Aku-Aku, The Message/Lord of the Rings. All are great classics. I agree with others this release was the most complete in terms of their diversity in musical style from Aku-Aku, nice clean instrumental ballad to Queen of Spades their darkest tune in a single CD/album release. I think Dennis must have been in midst of a divorce when he wrote Queen of Spades.

Styx brought music that was inspiring sometimes mystical and pragmatic. All in all great memories from this CD/Album.
