22062014 - Styx "Man of Miracles"

Styx' fourth album, before the genius that is Tommy Shaw found his way to the band. Definitely and very recognizable Styx, but ultimately mostly forgettable stuff. Far from bad, but just not quite there yet. I believe the word one would be looking for is "promising", but even though this has more or less all the characteristics one would come to associate with the band, the songs are just the tiniest bit unimpressive, compared to what did lie ahead...
