Equinox produced Styx's first single with A&M, the highly spirited "Lorelei," which found its way to number 27 on the charts. Although it was the only song to chart from Equinox, the album itself is a benchmark in the band's career since it includes an instrumental nature reminiscent of their early progressive years, yet hints toward a more commercial-sounding future in its lyrics…

Equinox is much like The Grand Illusion in that it combines elements of symphonic rock with more accessible rock and roll. It's not nearly as well-done, however. The group's composers (Dennis DeYoung, James Young and John Curulewski) sound as if they're still trying to figure out how to write interesting, tight songs and fit them together as an album. As a result, even though this was Styx's fifth album, none of the songs except "Lorelei" really feel complete and the selection of pieces for the album seems arbitrary. One of the things I like about Styx is the coherence of their concept albums; that element simply wasn't present here.

Although it was the only song to chart from Equinox, the album itself is a benchmark in the band's career since it includes an instrumental nature reminiscent of their early progressive years, yet hints toward a more commercial-sounding future in its lyrics. "Light Up" is a brilliant display of keyboard bubbliness, with De Young's vocals in full bloom, while "Lonely Child" and "Suite Madame Blue" show tighter songwriting and a slight drift toward radio amicability.

Styx may have had their musical roots in the UK's burgeoning late-'60s/early-'70s prog-rock bombast, but they were true pioneers in at least one sense: The Chicago-bred quintet virtually defined the hugely successful "corp rock" boom that followed a decade after prog's original fortunes tarnished…

Budget label Spectrum's latest offering is a nineteen-cut collection which mainly covers Styx's live and times from February 1976's 'Equinox' album (represented by 'Lorelei') and ending exactly seven years later with the release of 'Kilroy Was Here' ('Mr Roboto' and 'Heavy Metal Poisoning' being the album's showcases) after which (one live album aside) the band splintered and wasn't heard of again until 1990. The reformation album 'Edge Of The Century' is given a nod in the shape of 'Show Me The Way' ("Wot? No 'Love Is The Ritual'?" as Kilroy might say) and from the very early days comes 'Lady', albeit here in its 1995 form…
