Styx's comeback and sadly last flawless album! / 5
Styx released their first studio album of new material since 1983's Kilroy Was Here entitled Edge of the Century in October of 1990.
I first bought this album in December of 1993 on cassette on a whim and Edge of the Century proved to me that Styx could survive without Tommy Shaw(they did five albums before Shaw joined from 1972-75 including their A&M debut Equinox). Part of my point is THEY GOT ALONG during this period! Don't get me wrong, Tommy added a lot to the band, but they made it work before he came along and did well without him. New member guitarist/vocalist Glen Burtnik wrote great songs on this album and his voice was reminiscent to Tommy's thus keeping the Styx "sound" intact.
The opening first single Love is the Ritual is his best song on the album but the song flopped as a single on the pop charts although it did hit #9 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart meaning rock radio gave this track a good spin. I think Homewrecker is one of JY's best next to Heavy Metal Poisoning on Kilroy. Dennis DeYoung's keyboards and synthesizers kick ass on this song(Bad blood kept Tommy and JY from including his work on much of Brave New World. They screwed up Everything is Cool by almost muting Dennis whilst Dennis was ill and what a shame, it could have so much better).
Dennis wrote some some of his best tracks since his Desert Moon solo effort from 1984 on Edge of the Century and his voice got better. Dennis wrote the massive #3 hit from the spring of 1991 Show Me The Way for his son Matthew while Matthew was experiencing the trials and tribulations of being an adolescent. At that time, he needed encouragement, love and support from his parents. As all parents know there's no book or rules on parenting. Occasionally we need to ask for guidance from a higher power. Dennis put those feelings to a song, and Show Me The Way was born out of those feelings. Nothing like that on BNW. The Top 30 hit Love at First Sight is a great mid-tempo track. I can't believe that anyone who is a true Styx fan from WAY BACK can trash Carrie Ann. Dennis wrote this song to express his love for his daughter of the same name. I'm guessing that the people who trash this song never had a daughter.
The title track, All in a Day's Work, World Tonight and the closing jazzy-meets-bluesy Back to Chicago are stellar tracks as is the re-make of Not Dead Yet.
Edge of the Century almost went Gold when released but A&M were then owned by PolyGram whom were more interested in people like Janet Jackson and Extreme on their roster and stopped promoting the album when sales were close to Gold. It would eventually hit the plateau(the last studio album to date to do so folks).
Unfortunately, this was drummer John Panozzo's last hurrah with the band as he would pass away in 1996. His brother, bass player Chuck did well on this album as well.
Highly recommended!

Song "Hallelujah Chorus"

(Georg Friedrich Handel)

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

King of kings and Lord of lords
King of kings and Lord of lords
And He shall reign forever and ever
Forever and ever

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah
