Styx are back to the future, sound like their past

Early in my years of loving rock music, Styx was a band that I loved to listen to on an ongoing basis. With their concept records, theatrics, and just pure classic rock sound, you could not go wrong. Now, 14 years later, the band has come up with another concept album, and I am glad they did.
With a simple concept, of a crew on a mission to Mars, they took this nearly 43 minute album and brought it all together into one cohesive piece of music. Each song from the perspective of a character in the story, they sing about the trials and tribulations of taking on this mission.
From what I have heard, and please do not quote me verbatim about it, the band had gone back to an old school style of making this album in the studio, with older equipment, old school techniques, and that signature Styx sound, the way it ended up sounding, this trip to Mars in the future, sounds just like it came out of a rocket ship back to their late 70's, early 80's best.
If you have been a fan of their Tommy Shaw era sound, then this will be a great treat! I have not removed it from my CD player since I bought it the day of release, June 16th. At the very least, go to their official YouTube page and watch their first video for the album, Gone Gone Gone, to get a feel. If you like that, then I think you will enjoy the great harmonies and clique that this band has on this album.
Loved the Doc., but label on package misleading...

The documentary and bonus material were all fabulous, and a fitting end to a grand era of Rush, and their fans. Was not disappointment with the disc to say the least. What I was disappointed in was the sticker on the package stating that "Only @ Best Buy" with more than an hour of never-before-seen archival concert footage, includes Rush Gumby Keychain. Yes, the Rush Gumby Keychain may be exclusive, but the over an hour of archival footage was not, due to it appears to be on all the releases, at least initially, wherever you purchase it. I did not see anything different on my copy than my friend's copy, that was purchased on Amazon. It could have been just me, but the way the sticker is presented, came across that there should have been more, just for those that purchased at Best Buy, when it was only really the Gumby. Just getting it out there that if you read the sticker, it may just be me, but it seemed to be a bit misleading. Otherwise, the material on the disc was still awesome in the end.
The kind of movie I can watch over and over again!

This over the top action comedy hits all the right spots for me. Heck, even with owning the movie, anytime I see it on TV, I have to stop and watch it the rest of the way to the end.

This is a good price point for anybody who has never had the chance to play the Halo games until now. It is also nice for ease of accessibility for old fans who want to replay the old games, but do not want to change out each game from the console if they want to play one of the other 4 titles in the collection.
