Description: The Grand Illusion by Styx [CD] Track Listing: 1 The Grand Illusion2 Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)3 Superstars4 Come Sail Away5 Miss America6 Man In The Wilderness7 Castle Walls8 The Grand Finale These Chicago rockers went big-time in '77 with this #6 smash. Their soaring songs were now arena-ready: The smash Come Sail Away ; the hit Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man), and more! --- Other than being their first platinum-selling album, The Grand Illusion led Styx steadfastly into the domain of AOR rock. Built on the strengths of "Come Sail Away"'s ballad-to-rock metamorphosis, which gained them their second Top Ten hit, and on the high harmonies of newcomer Tommy Shaw throughout "Fooling Yourself," The Grand Illusion introduced Styx to the gates of commercial stardom. The pulverized growl of "Miss America" reveals the group's guitar-savvy approach to six-string rock, while De Young pretentiously struts his singing prowess throughout the title track. Shaw's induction into the band has clearly settled, and his guitar work, along with James Young's, is full and extremely sharp where it matters most. Even the songwriting is more effluent than Crystal Ball, which was released one year earlier, shedding their mystical song motifs for a more audience-pleasing lyric and chord counterpoise. Reaching number six on the album charts, The Grand Illusion was the first to display the gelled accomplishments of both Tommy Shaw and Dennis De Young as a tandem. ~ Mike DeGagne, AllMusic Shipping^ - Order typically "ships" within a business day after receipt of cleared payment ("Delivery" information provided below).
