Once again you take post that is looking to create conversation about the music and YOU turn into a way to insult other posters. If you feel that people here don't know anything then why did you bother coming back?

Toph wrote:Ok, I looked at my comments on Snowblind and it was a bit harsh. So I apologize. I am just tired of that song. And yes, I realize the music to the chorus was written by Dennis. My understanding is JY wrote the "scary" music part both lyrics and music, Dennis wrote the music to the chorus (the more upbeat part), and Tommy wrote the lyrics to the chorus. It should have been a 3 way co-write, but I think Tommy owed Dennis part of a song credit from somewhere. Crediting in the band was extremely complex.
That being said, I think Paradise Theatre should get more love. There seems to have been a conscious attempt by the current group to almost replace PT with Po8 in the Styx hierarchy of albums. 20 years ago, it was clearly GI followed by PT. Now, Dennis was still in the band then and it might have been his influence then.
But you can't argue that PT was extremely well produced and thematically worked very well. The decline of America as evidenced by boredom and unemployment (TMTOMH), lost dreams and opportunities (NEGAP), people not communicating with one another (LP), Drugs (SB), and making the quick buck at costs (HP2P) all bring out the theme which is resonated throughout TBOT. I don't know where "She Cares" fits in the whole concept, but I think it get unduly picked on. Its not a bad song. And I still say RTP with DeYoung introducing the concept and with the optimistic kick off to the album is a stroke of genius. Even more so - the fact that the lyrics utilize common phrases from the 1920s is brilliant.
Never thought I'd say this 35 or even 20 years ago, but Paradise Theater is now an overlooked and underrated Styx Classic
