STYX Paradise Theater
EX/NM Used Audiophile Vinyl Record
Record Label: Nautilus Superdiscs NR 45
Paradise Theater is the tenth album by the rock band Styx. Originally released in 1981, it is given the full Nautilus Audiophile treatment here.
Nautilus Superdiscs featured superior quality pressings with extended dynamic range and the highest quality control standards. Surface noise often found on mass-produced releases are virtually non-existent on Nautilus' silky-quiet pressings. All are cut at Half Speed and sourced from the original analog stereo master tapes. Only the finest imported virgin vinyl was used.
Laminated gatefold cover has some chipping on the side opposite the spine. There is a small circular sticker on the bottom left. Corners are sharp and spine is straight. Vinyl looks and plays like new.

Review: PARADISE THEATER was arguably the last great Styx album, as the rift between Dennis DeYoung's balladry and the more hard-hitting approach of James Young and Tommy Shaw hadn't yet wreaked havoc on the group's output. There's a vague concept about the tearing down of an old theater, but as with most concept albums, the songs are the important thing."Rockin' The Paradise" is one of the group's most effective rockers and most substantial group efforts (its one of the few songs written by all three of the band's composers). Tommy Shaw brings his pop sensibilities to the fore on the ridiculously catchy (and hugely successful) "Too Much Time on My Hands," whose synth bass hook became part of the pop pantheon. DeYoung proves his mettle as a balladeer once again on the hit "The Best of Times," and the Young/Shaw-sung "Snowblind" finds the boys getting downright bluesy.
