EQUINOX

If you weren't in possession of this album back in the 1970's then you didn't go to high school. Every kid I knew had this album. It's the one that really cut it for them on FM radio. Heavy on synths and loud guitars throughout this is one heck of a heavy record. Suite Madame Blue is definitely the highlight track and will hold you in anticipation with an amazing synth passage with a spectacular crescendo is resolved with some heavy rythm guitar riffing. Midnight Ride and Light Up are two other tracks which got worn out on my turntable back in the 70's. While there are only two Styx records I like ( the other is Pieces Of Eight) this is definitely one of them and is highly rcommended to the new listener. I have witnessed this band in concert on both the Equinox and Pieces Of Eight tours and they did not disappoint. Definitely the high point for the band.
