To me, they were over-dramatic and "Babe" sounded like a bar band with an original song that won the audiences over.
While I liked that they were trying to get a message on Kilroy that I actually can agree with, it still was done in a way that I stayed away from it as much as possible.
Also, it was nice that they payed tribute to a Chicago landmark, but..."these are the best OF TIIIIIIIIIMES!!!!!!!!" was not my cup of brew.
(Note...LOL from here on to the finish of the post)
No slight on the strong amount of talent, don't get me wrong, but I put a spell on you for the ghost of the Crimson King to haunt you forever and hope a Foxtrot hunt will happen on the lives of you and your army. You, Sir, may call me a Warlock in this Witch Hunt after calling Styx lightweight, but be very aware of what might come for YOU! For when I meet my fate in the town center for my punishment, my spirits will be released and corrupt your village. HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

People always seem to mention "Babe" when looking for an example to poke the band. The fact of the matter is that as a huge Styx fan, I hate "Babe" and its album Cornerstone was not a good album either. More people really need to listen to the albums before that Equinox, Crystal Ball, The Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight, with the final two mentioned being absolute classics.
