Reviews & Discussion
Styx's Paradise Theater is loaded with classics such as Rockin' The Paradise, Too Much Time On My Hands, Nothing Ever Goes As Planned and Best Of Times but even the tracks you hardly eve hear are pretty cool. Lonely People and Snowblind are also kick ass tunes. Over all I think this is Styx 2nd best album and a true Classic. She Cares is Probably the weakest track on Paradise Theater. 84/100
