There is a real sense of drama and promise as the keyboards bring this track into being. It eventually builds out to a more powerful progressive rock arrangement. This is slow moving, but so classy. It has some cool shifts and changes. It’s a real work of art. It’s also a great way to start the album in style.

With a real sense of classic prog built into this, the track is decidedly Styx-like, but it also has hints of things like Yes and Kansas. It’s another prog masterwork. It’s so strong. It has some great twists and turns along the road, but yet it feels like a straight line in so many ways. It has great hooks and so much prog magic built into it.

Harder rocking, but also proggy and quirky, this more guitar oriented track is so cool. There are some moments that have almost Beatles-like vibes.

The keyboard and vocals section that starts this is trademark newer Styx. That runs though, and then it shifts to more guitar oriented stuff. This has a real classic Styx sound, but with a modern angle to it. The track has plenty of cool twists and turns built into it.

This proggy, classic Styx meets modern sounding arrangement is another really winner. It’s absolutely on fire and has some great twists and turns built into it.

More of a balladic tune, this cut has some hints of Beatles sounds. It builds out later with some really Beatles-like magic before a powerhouse prog guitar solo takes over. 

Imagine if Styx and Queen collaborated on track. I bet it would sound a lot like this. The number is dynamic, bouncy and so classy. It’s fun and unique.

A violin section with some sound effects starts this, feeling like something out of an old movie. The track shifts to a bouncy, acoustic guitar based rocker from there. There is definitely some world music, and old fashioned sound at play. I’m reminded just a little of “Boat on the River.”

Bouncy and hard rocking, this tune is all class. It has some hints of Beatles-like stuff and even some jazzy moments. It’s still recognizable as modern Styx, but it’s also fresh and has some surprises. The mellower movement at the end again calls to mind The Beatles.

Less than a minute long, piano brings this in. Vocals bring another angle, and the arrangement fills out, but only a little before it’s over. It’s a cool interlude type piece.

There is a bit of a blues rock vibe here, but it also has plenty of proggy tendencies. This is a classy number that works so well. The track works through a number of twists and has some great hard rocking zones built into it.

Rocking acoustic guitar is on the menu here. The track is more of a straight-ahead tune with some classic rock elements at play. The melodic movement built into it brings more proggy stuff, though, along with some Beatles-like stuff at play. The guitar solo is more set in that hard rocking zone, but the synthesizer work brings more prog.

This classy rocker is melodic and just proggy enough. It’s also undeniably Styx.
