Album Review

Melodic hard pop and power ballads, obviously cut from the same cloth as Journey, but with a nod to modern metal. ~ Brian Mansfield, All Music Guide

from Amazon.com:

This album, originally released in 1990, was the first Styx studio release in seven years. Glen Burtnik was brought on board to replace the departed Tommy Shaw, and he quickly established himself as a worthy replacement. Two songs, "Love At First Sight", and "Show Me The Way", are the signature songs from this CD. "Show Me The Way" rocketed up the charts during the Gulf War and became the unofficial anthem for the War. Many versions had words from president Bush intermingled with the lyrics of the song. "Love At First Sight", another Dennis DeYoung classic, also received ample airplay. Glen Burtnik's title track is more up-tempo and is very good as well.
