COME SAIL AWAY, however, provides the most in-depth sonic Styx scrapbook one could want. Though the arrival of Tommy Shaw in 1976 helped push the band toward superstardom, this two-disc collection doesn't shy away from the oft-neglected pre-Shaw days, including not merely the archetypal power ballad \"Lady,\" but also such obscurities as the thumping riff-rocker \"Best Thing\" and the joyous, harmony-laden \"You Need Love.\"\n\u003cbr\u003eFrom there, we chart Styx's ascension to AOR glory on the wings of prog-rock-tinged epics such as \"Come Sail Away\" and \"Pieces of Eight.\" Along the way, little-known gems are unearthed, like the moody, acoustic ballad \"Boat on the River,\" before we launch into the synth-bedecked swan song of the original lineup, \"Mr. Roboto\" from the '83 concept album KILROY WAS HERE. Latter-day versions of the band are represented towards the end, but this collection makes it clear that the Styx equation depended upon Dennis DeYoung's dewy-eyed balladry, James Young's rock \u0026amp; roll ferocity, and Tommy Shaw's pop-rock craftsmanship in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2006-09-19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Styx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53454473986232,"sku":"MRDQZD-YEIA-4S","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/styx-gold_MiidD.jpg?v=1778520495","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/styx-gold","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
