1.0 out of 5 stars Go for the imports, not this!, November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Serpent Is Rising/Man Of Miracles (Audio CD)

Ok, I love these releases, and they deserve more than 1 star, but that fact is the SOUND quality is HORRIBLE! The mastering here doesn't sound much better than an 8 track. If you want eh FULL effect from these, spend a little more money and buy the Japanese versions, also available here on Amazon. They didn't release them as a 2 for 1, they are two seperate entities. The Japanese versions cost more, but they contain original artwork (covers), full lyrics, liner notes and K2 Remastering, the best remastering possible. They will run you about 22.99 a piece, but believe me they are BETTER than this SIR/MOM combo!

I have the 2 LP's bought in the last 1970's and have the 2seperate CD's from several years ago. You're definately going to find(dollar amount) worth of rock music and rock ballads here. Hard rockers Witch Wolf, Young Man, Winner Take All, Rock & Roll Feeling, Havin A Ball and Man of Miracles are the best of JY's songs. Reminds me why I wished he would've contributed more to Brave New World. Dennis is great on The Grove of Eglantine, teaming up with JY on 22 Years, A Song For Suzanne, Lies and Christopher Mr Christopher. Former guitarist John Curlewski screams out The Serpent Is Rising with ferocity. The band's patented backing vocals are in full force here. If you're a Styx fan and have gone as far back as Crystal Ball and Equinox, you might as well go all out and get this double set as well as Styx I and II. They're well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two albums on one CD from one great kickbooty band, October 2, 2000

... I just got my copy of this CD today,and I love it.Especially the hidden track"Plexiglass Toilet".It is a funny song and another good song is the title tracks(Serpent is Rising and Man of Miracles).I must say that I have been a Styx fan for 7 years and I have never heard these albums before now.I gave it 5 stars.So much for Mr.Perfectionest who claims that the sound quality is bad.
