Review about Styx Simple | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Lorelei performed by Styx
Maybe its just a name that fits into the song. Like how Bruce Springsteen writes about all theses different chicks but most of them are fictional. He may have just came up with the tune and "Susan" didn't fit into the melody. It might be just that simple :o

------ About the song A Criminal Mind performed by Styx
This song was written by Gowan in the 80's that is true, however giving Styx credit for this song is correct as well. This song is featured on the album "One With Everythings: Styx & The Contemporary Youth Orchestra" and "Styxworld". And is performed in every Styx concert since Gowan joined Styx. Gowan has added this a Styx song.

------ About the song A Criminal Mind performed by Styx
This is not a Styx song.
Larry Gowan has been releasing albums since the 80's. He was a popular artist in Canada for many years. I am quite surprised that he does not have his own entry here.
He started touring as a double bill with Styx, and was chosen as the new lead singer when DeYoung was ousted

------ About the song Lady performed by Styx
Lady is not just a great Styx song, it is one of the best songs in the world. According to Tenacious D and alot of other people, "Stairway to Heaven" is the greatest song in the world. Well if it is, the Lady must come in at a very close second!

Who the hell is Lorelei?
Now I did the research--I fucking read the marriage certificate, hell I saw the lady-Dennis Deyoung is married, was married when he wrote this song, and up to about 6 years before he wrote it, so who the hell is lorelei? I want to know! Does Susan Deyong know about her? She has to, the song still gets on the radio. Does she know Dennis wrote it? SUSAN! DENNIS WROTE LORELEI! It won't J.Y., It won't Curulewski, It won't Panozo--Panozo's Gay! Yeah I said it, you learn crazy shit researching STYX, yeah Panozo is freaking gay, I know, I'm shocked too, that's why they didn't let his ass write any songs probably, but for real, Dennis, Dennis, why? You were my hero, I idolized you, and You betrayed me! Asshole: Babe, Lady, all lies. LIES! Yeah that's a song too, and you wrote it about yourself, asshole! Southern Woman too, don't play it off, I know what you doin' Dennis, I know your ass! Your ass wrote Jennifer from Crystal Ball too, Shame, SHAME! I'll get you in hell Dennis!
I'm coming for you Dennis. Ain't no one in hell can save you now, boy!

------ About the song Babe performed by Styx
I'm probably going to lose one of the best persons to ever ever enter my life. I love this woman and its ironic that we'd shed tears to this song long before our potential parting and it was just because it's such a beautiful song. I Love Her; she's done everything right and has given me all of her. I have to get myself together.

This is a powerful song. My boyfriend and I are going through some tough times. And we both love this song so much. I think of him every time I hear this song. I love him and this song so much. I cry each time it's played.
I really like this song,becase i like to feel music.I was heard for this group first time when my cousun from america gives me live video from concert of this group.I think it could have been written I ever seen before.
This song is so amazing, i mean all the synthesizers with guitars. The Styx are one of the FEW bands that can get away with that NO QUESTIONS ASKED O.O... I my self am an independent electronic/dance/trance artist/composer and i still bow down to The Styx... as Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar said to Aerosmith in Wayne's World2 (well changing the line a bit) "IM NOT WORTHY! IM NOT WORTHY! IM SCUM!" Styx.... Kudos

Thanks for posting the lyrics...you did a great job! Did a little time in the county jail, and I would sing this song at least once a day, lol, with the entire 'pod' joining in. Jail sucked, but this song helped make the time go by faster!
In the early 80's I had a tape cant remeber the artist name I beleive it was a solo album from a lead gutarist in the rock genre. All I remeber is a few words from a song on the tape. 'all would be well if we could live in the ??? century???' can anyone out there help me find this tape. please I have been searching for over 25 years..

STYX: The Heaviest Band On Earth | Reviewer: Master
------ About artist/band Styx
The day will probably never come when STYX is recognized rightfully as the true prioners of the Dual Guitar technique mimicked by Rob Halford and the gang half a decade after STYX hit the first amazing riffs on Children Of The Land (an effort which in itself totally annihilates (in my opinion) all that is Judas Priest's Debut Album). No doubt it is entirely too ambitious for me to discount either Dennis' Keyboarding (a true pioneering effort) or unsurpased vocal prowess (that is, before Ronnie Dio made the scene with his good friend (at the time) Richie)-but in terms of what was then termed and can now only be retermed: Heavy Metal of the day, STYX not only shone as an insular entity, but literaly wiped the floor with Both Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1972 (with such a blistering debut) and in 1973 (with what I term 'Dennis' First Solo Album: STYX II', and the sheer Satanic perversity known as The Serpent Is Rising (which I have no doubt about being a slap in the face of religion, the first real unappologized (Black Sabbath) effort since The Rolling Stone's Their Satanic Majesties Request))-being truely rivaled only perhaps by Queen whose also blistering 1973 double release ((Queen and Queen II) with such attacks as Modern Times Rock N Roll and Ogre Battle), and again in 1974 with Man Of Miracles shying slightly away from the magnus opus: Sheer Heart Attack (Need I even mention Stone Cold Crazy or Brighton Rock? Flick Of The Wrist, anyone?). But perhaps for at least a short span, I would be the first to defend STYX as the heaviest band on Earth 1972-1974, again pre-dating our 'Metal Gods' (who would only really offer something unheard of in 1976 with their softmore album)-although beyond this STYX can't be called anything more heavy than the most original band on earth (beside Queen)-with the scene around Heavy Music rapidly changing (1975 with Rush's Fly By Night (a true thrash album) and Caress Of Steel (Need I say anthing?), and 1976 being taken over then on by our close to heart-Judas Priest (ironically rivaled perhaps only by the Feminist Acid Rock attack called Heart (All I'm saying is just compare Priest's Dissendent Aggressor and Heart's Barracuda (both 1977)-or better yet both the Sin After Sin and Little Queen (Correct me if that's the wrong one) albums and decide for yourself-or those long-haired Punks (not to be misconstrued for the negative connotation associated with that word) Motorhead). But there is far more to the STYX than their heaviness, Dennis has spearheaded a style of Keyboard-solo psychedelics unprecidented and unmatched since (reference, for just one, The end of Young Man (1973)). But again, I doubt the world (or even the Heavy Metal Society (if such a thing even exists)) will ever share my sentiments regarding the (in some ways, unsurpassed) heaviness that is STYX.
