[Heeplist] Styx album

[Bob Winward]

That is the problem these days bands forgot how to produce meat, they just offer us vegetables. 

The 2007 Styx offering called Cyclorama that was meat.  This new one I think if you listen to the album as a whole, it's some kind of concept album and sounds like a medley.  It Is brilliant at times and shows with the band could be capable of.

All Heep is Good Heep!
