Description:

Unknown Contributor Roles: Dennis DeYoung; Tommy Shaw.
This album basically picks up where its predecessor, the breakthrough GRAND ILLUSION left off, and is equally effective. Dennis DeYoung`s title tune about the emptiness of wealth (a subject on which he was beginning to gain first-hand experience) continues the previous album`s thematic thread nicely. Tommy Shaw`s infectious rockers "Renegade" and "Blue Collar Man" would become two of the group`s most popular songs, and deservedly so. With their fanciful lyrics and freewheeling synth coloring, "Sing for the Day" and "Lords of the Rings" mark a slight return to Styx`s prog-rock roots. PIECES OF EIGHT furthered the group`s new status as superstars and continued their run of consistently strong releases.

      • Real trip down memory lane

        Pieces of Eight by Styx...what can one say to convince the non-follower of the band...or discourage those of us who were avid listeners back when this was first released? The music flows, sometimes powerful and yet has a light and airy quaity about it. Though Styx was not a major player in any sort of political statement music, anyone knowing the heart of the late 70s to early 80s certainly will find the culture and politics of the time reflected in the songs on this album. Not for everyone maybe....but listening fun for most!
