The 14th album from this US band.
Styx were a sextet on this album with a lineup of guitars, bass, drums, mandolin, piano, organ, synths, loops, percussion and vocals.
Numerous other musicians contributed with vocals. Lots of well known names.
I am no fan of their AOR era. I am even a lesser fan of what they have come up with here.
Cyclorama is an album meant to please everyone at the same time. You get Def Leppard like metal, Mr Big like acoustic guitar ballads, some pop music, a lot of rock music, some hard rock, a lot of AOR and lots of vocal harmonies.
The vocals is OK.
The music is pretty much close to a disaster. It is dull, far too commercial and far too much dominated by hair spray infections which has had an adverse, totally damaging effect on the small grey between the hair pieces who is there to write good songs.
There is no good songs here and the sound is not good.
This is a turkey. A true turkey and an album I cannot stand even after some extended listening sessions.
