“Styx's
high-water mark...one of the greatest albums in rock history.”
Camarillo,
CA - Styx fans rejoice with the release of the band's critically
acclaimed album 'Paradise Theater' on limited numbered Hybrid SACD by
Marshall Blonstein's Audio Fidelity. Styx's 10th album, the 1981
release, 'Paradise Theater' was the band's fourth consecutive
triple-platinum album. A resounding success, 'Paradise Theater' was
their greatest commercial triumph and their only #1 album. It remains
one of the best examples of the convergence between progressive rock
and AOR which typified the arena rock sound of the top groups of the
late-seventies and early-eighties such as Journey, REO Speedwagon,
Cheap Trick and Kansas.
Styx
was a great group of talented musicians - Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw,
James Young, Chuck Panozzo and John Panozzo. The album included three
Billboard Hot 100 hits, “The Best of Times,” “Nothing Ever Goes
As Planned” and “Too Much Time on My Hands”, considered among
Tommy Shaw's finest singles ever. Another track, “Rockin' The
Paradise” reached #8 on the Top Rock Track Chart.
The
concept album is a fictional account of Chicago's Paradise Theatre
from its opening to closing, used as a metaphor for America's
changing times from the late 1970s into the 1980s.
“...some
of the best songs Styx would ever write!”
