The album is awesome. Man In The Wilderness is another song to listen to. Tommy Shaw sings the vocals on it.
Another 'must' from this album is "Man in the Wilderness," plus "Crystal Ball" from their Crystal Ball album.
This is a brilliant album, The Grand Illusion, by Styx. Dennis DeYoung sings the hell out of it. I think that the sounds are just a different combinations of synthesizers and percussion. Great choice from whoever requested this one. 🔥
You are correct! A brilliant album. This is my #3 favorite album ever!
One of my favorite tunes and albums !
The very first album I ever bought. Awesome from beginning to end. Dennis DeYoung has such an amazing voice and can play anything keys related, from piano to synthesizer, from pipe organ to accordion.
Tommy Shaw I think said that the year before as they were touring in support of Kansas he was inspired by Kansas to greater of creativity. Without that tour this album would not have been as great imo.
It applies to all of us your living in a grand illusion the stage is set ..read Q post 34 coming soon the great awaking illusion will be over
My absolute favorite styx song ! This album came out when I was in 9th grade and I still have my original copy of the album lol ...♡
This has to be Styx's best album. Progressive and rocks
I think so too. Equinox and Crystal Ball right close behind.
Hey Chod! Great song! Great album! Great band! Styx played at my brother's prom in Chicago!😎
This one could be the best track on The Grand Illusion, an album where each track is memorable, moving and powerful. Castle Walls is so atmospheric, mystical, otherworldly, multilayered, and deeply emotional. The mellow jazz/slide guitar solos played by Tommy Shaw never cease to move my soul. Enjoying your Styx reactions. "Queen of Spades", "Snowblind", "Man In The Wilderness", "Pieces of Eight", "Miss America", "Rockin' The Paradise" are highly recommended.
Love "Crystal Ball," and "Man in the Wilderness." If you hear it now live, even in 2023, Tommy Shaw sounds the same.
True and I heard him singing live last sumner .
Styx had so many great songs. I recommend reacting to these ones: “Queen of Spades”, “Suite Madame Blue”, “Snowblind”, “Man In The Wilderness”, “Pieces of Eight”, “Lights”, and “One With Everything”.
Chod , great reaction to this Styx master piece. Some of the sounds you're asking about are the various synthesizers played by Dennis DeYoung . Brilliant vocalist and keyboard player.
My favorite Styx album. Amazing
I love this track and the album. This was always my favorite track.
Bought this album when it came out for the cover art.❤ Love it and surprisingly it worked often for me to get great music.
Classic Styx. You should check out Queen Of Spades , Man In The Wilderness or Snowblind.
I concur. Especially Man in the Wilderness.
@Gary Cottam Great recommendations, "Queen of Spades" is FIRE!🔥
SAME YEAR ( 76 ) AS KANSAS / LEFTOVERTURE, RUSH / 2112, NEIL YOUNG / DECADE, ELTON / ROCK OF THE WESTIES, BOB SEGER / NIGHT MOVES, YESSSSSS CHOD, IT WAS PRETTYYYYY DAMN GOOD BICENTENNIAL YEAR FOR SURE! :)
And Eagles, Hotel California
One of my favorite Styx tunes.
I still remember when this record come out, I was in 8th grade and me and my best buddies were blown away! So NEW sounding..
There's not one damn song on this album that isn't FIRE! Great reaction!
👍never get enough 👍 STYX
This whole album is great 😊
One of my favorite songs! I always thought the bass line was a bit like a heart beat.
Chuck is such an underrated bass player. Always in the background just chillin’.
This is my favorite Styx song. It's the epitome of classic rock.
Well you finally got to "Castle Walls"! Check out my handle.
I've been a huge Styx fan since 1977, and I wore out my "Grand Illusion" record.
As suggested, I'd recommend the track before this one "Man In The WIlderness" by Tommy Shaw - a song with deep meaning for him.
"Castle Walls" has deep meaning for Dennis DeYoung. You really have to put this on and lay back and let it transport you to another realm (I know for reactions you pause a bunch, but it was crafted to take you on a journey).
The beginning is just the simple bass "ticking of the clock" as time goes by in your isolation from the world, calm and quiet enough to hear your own breathing. The harpsichord sound from the synthesizer takes you back in time to kings and castles; to a mystical realm of moonlit waterfalls and fog. Dennis never liked touring a lot and being away from his family back home for long stretches, and this song is his exploration of those feelings. He is hidden away behind his castle walls isolated from the battles of the music business and society in general. However, the minstrel's song kept calling him (the minsrel within himself) and he knew he'd "soon be wandering far beyond these castle walls" back out into the fray on tour. That fray is indicated by the harsh "Halloween" synthesizer, drums, sustained bass note, guitar feedback and power chords. The drums are like eruptions of thunder, the feedback like lightning, synths like choas, and power chords like clashes of medieval forces. And then it's back to the calm solitute of the castle with just the bass ticking. That is followed by another journey represented by the harmony guitars; and then the battle rages again with the guitars instrumental. Eventually, you cannot always hide in your castle, "and every man must meet his destiny". I put the jazz-like guitar and rising bass notes as contemplation, and the final cresendo warbling as the passage of time into one's future.
BTW, Dennis wrote this before John Carpenter composed the soundtrack for "Halloween" which premiered on October 24, 1978. Maybe John heard this song and was inspired? The Halloween theme has quite of few artifacts in it to make people uneasy and agitated that are not in "Castle Walls"; such as odd timing, sustained dischorded notes, half-step down sections, etc. I heard that Carpenter took some cues from the score of the movie Psycho which produced distrubing sounds using only string instruments, and he did a similar thing using only synthesizers. Artistic you say. Well, partly - a lot for both films had to do with their budgets.
Styx was my favorite band in high school, they used they synthesizer a lot in their music, those are the different sounds I think you are hearing.
Grand Illusion was a great album, Styx was it back in the day!! ❤🔥🥳
"Man In The Wilderness" is killer!! 🔥
I can't begin to tell you how many speakers I blew out ALWAYS on this song.
YEAH THEY GO WITH STRONGGG SYNTHESIZER ON THIS ALBUM ( GRAND ILLUSION ) :)
Keep music ALIVE!! Love that. ♥🎼🥁🥁🎶🎶
I've always loved this song! Great lp! Loved this reaction. Legends!!
Try their song A Day its older more psychedelic rock jazzy tune worth a look at keep rockin
You use the best explanation for Styx music: Perfection.
The Grand Illusion!! Styx's breakthrough album and arguably their best! React to Man In The Wilderness, Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man), and Crystal Ball (title track to the album of the same name).
JY's guitar solo in this song is one of my favorite all time solos. Also, although played on a synthesizer a lot of the keyboard parts are made to mimic a harpsicord.
One of my favorite albums.
This is one of the greatest albums of all time
You need to check out more of Styx, plus more Rainbow and Bad Company. So much more to explore.
🎯
One of the best layered songs of all time. Dennis De'Young KEYBOARDS & VOCAL James Young GUITAR SOLO...JOHN CARPENTER ADMITTED HE STOLE KEYBOARDS FOR HALLOWEEN MOVIE
Full live concert video 1978 to follow
One of my favorite albums
Also...they sound exactly like this live. They actually played this, it didn't come out of an editor.
During the middle instrumental, I believe the drummer John Panozzo is playing rotary toms.
the instrument I believe you were talking about is a synth. maybe an old moog but it's basically a keyboard with a lot of adjustable effects on it, you can basically dial up any sound you want if you know how to operate the machine.
Suite Madam Blue, Queen of Spades, The Best of Times are 3 great tunes that don't get covered a lot.
I forgot how good this sh-- is! My teenage go to on vinyl.😂
Miss America. Nuf said.
There is a great live version out there where JY plays an extended guitar solo in the beginning. Awesome video!
Hey Chod. Great song from a great album from 1977. Time for me to put in a plug for another great 1977 album even if it may not be that well known in North America. And that would be Innocent Victim by Uriah Heep. "Illusion" or "The Dance" or "Free Me" are pretty much ballads featuring a great vocalist and 5 part harmonies.
Great tune and one of the all time great albums!
Styx
Crystal Ball
Suite Madam Blue
SMB is a masterpiece!😎
fantastic album.
Crystal ball, Snowblind, man in the wilderness
They actually pulled that shit off live
Lawrence Gowan is singing lead, & he plays the keyboards...he's a classically trained pianist (from Canada if I remember right). I suggest you check out Man in the Wilderness next. Tommy Shaw wrote it & he plays guitar & sings lead on it (he sings lead frequently). They're incredibly talented...
Gowan is singing lead? He joined the band in 1999. The Grand Illusion was recorded in 1977. The great Dennis DeYoung is singing the lead and wrote Castle Walls.
@@Vaelsung1 Oh wow. I'm down with a migraine, & totally just recalled watching Gowan singing lead on a concert I watched! Thanks for alerting me to my mistake!!
Harpsichord, and lots of heavy synth.😊
I could be wrong, but I think the piano-ish music towards the beginning of the song was from a harpsichord. Later an electric keyboard took over.
MAN in the wilderness
Dang, I forgot all about this song! Because I prefer Pieces of Eight over Grand Illusion as a whole album -- I forgot about this track. So good to hear it again. Styx were in heavy rotation on my turntable in the late 70's, both Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight. Thanks!!
Master pieces is what the 70s&80s were
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rototom is the drum. Same tuned drums as on the intro to Pink Floyd Time. This album has great production quality.
the synth sound you asked about is , I think, Electric Harpsacord
Good stuff, well reacted!
Stynx!
Some of the keyboard sound is harpsichord.
Drums during slow part were floor toms
Ignorance is bliss isn't it?
To learn more is wonderful if you like learning things.
To learn more when you don't like more changes things.
Just pointing out things that get lost when in emotional.
I think he was imitating a harpsichord on the electronic keyboard.
Have enjoyed your reactions since the emoji days. Styx is a great group. Drummer Todd Sucherman is one of the best. (Modern Drummer magazine readers voted him number one live drummer in the world in 2020.) Should check out Styx's live version of "A Criminal Mind" with Larry Gowen on vocals. You've reacted to this Styx, before but this one will still "blindside ya" !
sounds like a mini-moog, a harpsicord and organ. This album along with CRYSATL BALL I feel are STYX's best. Not a bad song on either
Chod, you need to recognize synthesizers when you hear them! If there's an odd sort of sound that you can't pin down and you know it's not horns or strings, or it's real spacey -- it's a synth. Synth sounds were huge (and still kinda new) in the classic rock period so they're all over. Especially Styx, Kansas, and other prog-adjacent bands.
Great reaction, great tune.. Best tune "Crystal Ball".. but for similar beautiful ruthm's and changes "Claire de La Lune/ Ballerina".. Cheers
Styx and Kansas great bands. Neither in RnR hall of fame. Nor have either even been nominated. Makes you wonder.
Nor Boston or Foreigner. Rush not until 2013. The RRHF is a bad joke
Unpopular opinion, but I think Dennis DeYoung is pretty close to Freddy Mercury as best front man for a band, ever... Styx was my first concert and I am still in awe...
A couple songs with a lot of "Vibe" like this: Witch Hunt by Rush (dark) and a few by Alan Parsons Project. Also, a couple Styx songs not getting mentioned: Fooling Yourself, and Queen of Spades. Very different, but awesome.
love your reactions...you gotta find a live version...should be Man in the wilderness/ Castle walls...great live
Cool reaction. Check out Fooling Yourself and Queen of Spades.
Bonfire
do Miss America next, it's a rocker dude, I love this song also
Try "Miss America" from this album :)
Welcome to real music kid
Those are Remo Roto -Toms or Tama Octobans, not congas.
Most everything has been said on what to do next.
I've seen them three times. Twice with the original lineup, including John 😇
They were better with Dennis DeYoung though
They're still playing and are still killer good
"I'm a lonely sailor lost at sea. Drifting with the tide. Never quite knowing why"
"Sometimes it makes no sense at all"
You could compare them to REO SPEEDWAGON before REO changed. their sound.
They're currently setting up residency in Last Wages, see them while you still can.
Saw them open for Aerosmith, they were excellent I bought the album , grand illusion next day break out album deep cuts can be better then the ones that are popular
Did you hear the triangles?
First, I love what you are doing with opening a new eye to older music. Second, based on your closing statement on this song, I'm suggesting you watch Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii. You talk about learning where sounds come from! They were probably the top band of innovation and they show it in this live exhibition. ruclips.net/video/fhDfmUnN1vY/видео.html
congos, or tom toms ?
Back in the 70s they weret rying tobring us all along on the trip 🍄
I don't No sexy wife😢
Born for adventure born for adventure by sticks
This album predated Michael Myers. Styx is one of the most underrated bands of all time. You never heard this stuff on the radio. They had some hits, true, but there best stuff was deep cuts from the albums.
The only sound this guy is interested in is his own voice. Play the song, shut up and take it all in.
Hey Chod! Glad to see things are getting back to normal. Now if you would just stop the pausing!😎
why are you stopping so much and asking so many questions. I thought you were a musician. bbye.
