It Could've been a lot worse I'll tell you that right now but it does help get into the new Styx. I know Lawrence Gowan doesn't sing or play like Dennis DeYoung. But considering all things he does do a marvelous job. The main problem why most people will not like this is because it has only 4 classic songs on it and they are all Tommy Shaw songs with the exception of "Grand Illusion". Which means no "Come Sail Away", "Lorelei", or "Don't Let It End". I do like the new stuff I must admit. I mean the new Styx is great especially considering off their last album BIG BANG THEORY they got a Top Ten hit off it #2 to be excact in "I Am The Walrus". Making them the only musical artists in the history of the world to have Top Ten hits in four different decades.
