Fantastic AOR. The superb ballad "Babe", the keyboard solo on "Eddie" and the marvelous song "Boat on the river". All in this Lp made it a must have if you lobe groups like Kansas or Queen

Together with AC/DC and Judas Priest this is my favorite band. Just like those two bands Styx was always hated by the elitist press. But the audience don't care what those morons say.People will always wan't to hear honoust rock&roll and not trendy elitist "music" like Nirvana,Ramones,Strokes etc. People will still remember Styx in hundred years time when the above mentioned bands will be long forgotten

Not the best one from Styx, but still a good CD ! Lights and Borrowed Time are the higlights here !

A bit boring for me, tried and tried to like it, but they lost their flavor by this time.

The last great Styx album!!!! After this one, Paradise and Mr. R. took a more theatrical view. Cornerstone did feature Babe, where some think Styx went downhill. All in all, a very strong album with some great tunes by all members, Lights, Why Me, Never, Borrowed, and Love Midnight are Styx classics, Boat is a Tommy Shaw classic! Eddie has some great guitar work and First Time is a great pomp/aor ballad. To me, one of the best Styx albums and again, the last great one from the band!!! A little u

I can agree with you, Swriter

Love In The Midnight is one of the best Styx tunes ever. This is the last great release from these guys. A must have if you are a Styx fan.

Good release with Tommy Shaw maintaining his usual high standards & even Dennis De Young writing a couple of decent tunes. The best songs on the album are the last two, "Eddie" & "Love in the midnight". I've always had a soft spot for "Boat on the river" & the only filler is "First time".
