Here's an additional article I saw today:
Styx Worried Their Label Wouldn’t Like Their New Album’s ConceptThe title of Styx‘s upcoming album has been revealed, along with release plans for it.
Last month, the band participated in a question-and-answer session aboard this year’s Rock Legends Cruise and spoke about the new music.
Tommy Shaw noted that they’d recently finished the last song, “but the hard part is done and we are f****** thrilled. … It’s — I would say – completely new, but it’s not outside of, you know, what you’re used to hearing Styx do.”
But when Shaw, an avid birder, called up one of their label executives to tell him that the concept for the yet-titled album was a bird — a Starling, to be specific — he was worried about the response Styx might get.
“But he says, ‘Oh, we’re birders!'” Shaw recalled. “It was kind of risky to say this thing’s gonna be about a bird. But there was so much enthusiasm, and it’s like, you know, sometimes in life things just go your way. And this went our way.”
