Have listened to the new vinyls from Tommy and Dennis. They did nothing for me . It is all borrowed from 1975-1980. I hear chords from P.Theater, G.Illusion and C Ball. A song that resembles Lorelai; another that sounds like Shooz. You're better off listening to the originals. They had wonderful energy back in the day-- and the production of Gary Loizzo (rest well Gary-- Styx not same without You)!
Deyoung gave Gary his job as engineer not producer against JY and Tommy's wishes. He only became part of the producing team after Deyoung was replaced. RIP Gary
Your comment makes no sense. Somgs with the same chords? Well I can name tons of music from other artists with the same chord progressions. Just listen to the originals? The songs still have different melodies and arrangements and of course different lyrics. smh
