1.0 out of 5 stars What a ripoff!!!!!, September 29, 2003

The only reason I bought this is because Tommy Shaw's statement on Styxworld.com said that "Man in the Wilderness" contained the extended guitar solo not available on the original album. I bought it, played it, and it was the same as the original. The song length is actually shorter than the original(according to the liner notes).
I later went back to Styxworld.com and the statement was removed from TS's notes.
Now that DDY is gone, they have to resort to this type of Tom-Foolery to sell records.
I could have made a mix from the original Styx albums I already own.

1.0 out of 5 stars too bad, September 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rockers (Audio CD)

This is just another attempt by the Shaw-Young Band to erase a part of their history that can NOT be denied. While I like the music of the current band, I think it's criminal to credit this music to the current lineup. Completly and intentionally omitting a founding member his due credit by plastering a photo and credits of the new band only shows the level of immaturity that still remains here. My suggestion is that you stop making your bitterness so obvious and take the high road like the abandoned member. If you can't count him as part of your history then stop trying to push the altered version on us. Hopefully most of the fans are to smart to buy into it.

Ok, I've never been a big fan of "greatest hits" albums. They're usually little more than record labels cashing in on fans by reselling them music that they already have . . plus one, perhaps two new tracks. They also usually sell to the one or two casual fans that are just waiting for that one disc to get all their favourite tracks in one place.

This disc does neither. It has to be the most useless, irrelevant, and pointless compilation ever released. More irrelevant even than those wretched "20th Century Masters" discs. This isn't even a "hits" album. Midnight Ride, Shooz, and Little Suzie are hardly the sort of tracks that landed Styx in the rock history books. Why does this compilation exist?!?
