I recently purchased this album. I bought it primarily because I've always loved the song Come Sail Away (the movie Vigin Suicides made perfect use of it in a prom scene), but quickly found that I love just about every song on it especially Miss America and the title track. I'm apparently in my 70s arena rock phase. I'm finding myself drawn to a lot of albums like this lately.

I'm ALSO in my 70's arena rock phase, (well, that's my life I guess) but I don't have this album.

Of course, I know "Come Sail Away" but now I can't hear it without thinking of South Park.

Fortunately for me, I have a good association with the song. It doesn't help that Virgin Suicides is one of my fave books/movies/soundtracks. That scene in particular is well-done.

The title track is astounding.

Great album, great group, great era.

It's also used awesomely in an episode of Freaks and Geeks. In fact it was that episode that made me dust off a lot of my old late 70s/early 80s rock records (I bought the Freaks and Geeks DVD set recently...HIGHLY recommended btw).

Journey, REO Speedwagon, Queen, ELO, Boston, Peter Frampton, KISS, Foreigner. I love 'em all...but in small doses. Too much and I get a stomach ache...as eating too much CHEESE will always do.

My absolute fave Styx album will always be Paradise Theater. I smooched my 1st girlfriend while slow-dancing to Best of Times at my 7th grade dance.

I like Tommy Shaw. way underrated.

I went to their concert (styx) last summer. It was pretty damn good, but they did this 20 minute medley that encompassed a bunch of great songs, which they should have just played in their entirety. That part was kinda crappy.
