   I would say yes, as well as with many of their other albums. I've always thought they would fit fine in symphonic prog or crossover prog honestly.

	This album, yes. The remainder of their discography, most of which I enjoy quite a bit, I have to say no. Leanings towards Prog, most certainly. Hence, Prog-Related is an appropriate designation.

	In Styx discography on PA all of their albums are labeled as prog-related. But I think this album should definitely fall under a "prog rock" term. What do you think?
