[Heeplist] Styx album

[Don Malecic]

Hi Dale

Welcome back !
Haha , I think it was me that raved over the album  a little more than Bob.
But, Bob did bring it to our attention, so I listened to it and ordered it
immediately!!
 Craving vocals and choir again, it was just the medicine I needed.
You have the comments about the shortness of songs, sounds like queen, pink
…, ya , ya. But , to me it’s just refreshing to hear great vocals again ,
shared by 3 singers , very nice to hear choir again .
Like UK Pete says , “ have another listen” lol.:)
