I purchased this record by complete accident. I asked the guy at the record store if he had any new Styx and he handed me this on cd. I went home only to read the date on the label. It was pre-Shaw! WTF! After listening to it, it quickly became one of my favorite Styx albums. It must have been new on cd back then. A fortunate mistake. Thanks record store guy!!

I can one up that one. I dreamt a very wild dream that involved me taking something very important to another place in a war zone. Said something was hidden inside a book called "the golden lark", and basically that title is the only thing that I remember. Next morning I was a new Styx fan and this my favorite song of them

This entire "early" Styx is simply fantastic! It really showcases their creativity and rock roots! Been listening to this for 30 years+! Share it with others. If I were voting on the greatest American band, I would vote Styx for their longevity, creativity, their sheer number of really, really great songs and albums, and consistency. I would give them first place over the Eagles and Boston.

Actually, this is my favorite STYX album. I Love the thunderstorm rain effects. Evil Eys reminds me of my Vamipella picture stetch that I did.This album reminds me of Michigan/Chicago...great places to live♥ Pre-Shaw, no problem.

I know most Styx fans dismiss this album (along with the other pre-Shaw Styx), but I really like this album. I think it has quite a few gems like Man of Miracles, Golden Lark, Song for Suzanne and Evil Eyes.

Another great one penned by DDY. When you look at the actual composers on most Styx albums, the best songs were composed by DDY or he was included with JY or TS. Yes, of course there are some awesome songs done exclusively by TS and JY but when I go through each album and look at who composed the songs, usually the most memorable and truly "Styx sounding" songs have Dennis as one of the composers. I really like the new lineup with Gowan but Styx will never sound as good without Deyoung's vocals and creativity. Dude is a genius.

Well said. Clearly JY and TS have no intention of reuniting with DDY, which is their prerogative. DDY has a terrific band and still has the pipes to put on a great show. Gowan is talented but not even in the same realm as DDY.

@@Buff99ca i've been a huge styx fan for 30+ years and i must say, As great ass DDY was, gowan is litteraly the best replacement they could of chose. seen them live a couple times and they blew my mind. i would almost put him in the same realm. although he really can't beat dennis.. he comes close.. really close.

Saaaame. Don’t get me wrong, I fuck with Gowan and the new line up, they’re great. And Gowan does a great job filling in Dennis shoes but at the end of the day, Dennis is just irreplaceable. Wish I was alive back then to see them in their hey day with the classic line up.

I first started listening to Styx back in 1978 when Pieces of Eight had just come out and that was because of my older brother told me he wanted me to listen to something and it was the Pieces of eight album our oldest brother had bought and we snuck into his room and was listening to it. Later on I found his older albums and this was one of them and I loved the songs on it to . I love the songs and albums that are pre-Shaw a heck of a lot more. Not saying he is bad but the sound of Styx was much more crisp and the songs seem to have more feeling put into them. The Styx of today is not Styx at all.

This is such a sad but beautiful song and I like the way "Golden Lark" seamlessly blends in with the intro to "Song For Suzanne." It's like musical poetry. And it's strange how the voice in the first few lines sounds a lot like Tommy Shaw (well, his style anyway). It definitely does not sound like Dennis until the first verse.

For those of you who liked this album, check out the song "Unfinished Song" by Dennis. It was a song that was not put on Man of Miracles because he didn't feel the song fit the theme of the album. It can be found right here on KZitem and it's a pretty good song.

Man of Miracles was one of their heaviest albums so it didn't really fit. They put the song on the Styx II album for the Wooden Nickel years CD, where it fit much better.
