Most people, myself included, know Styx best from their epic hit song �Come Sail Away� and a few other radio hits, including �Fooling Yourself� and �Mr. Robato.� Their progressive sound, with thick-layered vocals and grandiose piano parts, is still intact many years later on their latest album Cyclorama. The first Styx album since their 1999 album Brave New World, Cyclorama has been remixed for 5.1 DVD-Audio and re-released by Silverline. I didn�t expect to hear any songs that are going to get lumped into the classic Styx set list of hits, but I was curious to see, so many years after their �prime,� if Tommy Shaw and the rest of Styx could muster a sound that is reminiscent of their heyday yet at the same time updated.

I personally lost track of Queensryche after Hear in the Now Frontier, so I really didn�t know what to expect from this release. But soon after opening the package I saw �Sign of the Times� from Hear in the Now Frontier, the Pink Floyd classic �Comfortably Numb� and The Who�s �Won�t Get Fooled Again� in the song list, so I knew that there were some songs that I at least knew about. I figured what the hell, let�s put this baby on� Let me put it this way, get ready for some of the most intricate, intense and technically challenging progressive metal you�ll hear this year. Not only haven�t Queensryche lost a step, they�ve pushed themselves into the category where only the most adventuresome musicians reside. Unbelievable was my first reaction, simply unbelievable.
