Cyclorama Turns 18 Today!

February 18, 2021

Celebrating the ongoing resonance of Styx’s first full-length studio album of the 2000s, which was released on February 18, 2003.

Cyclorama, Styx’s first full-length studio album of all-original material of the 2000s, was released 18 years ago today on February 18, 2003 by Sanctuary/CMC International. The album was produced by Tommy Shaw, James Young, and Gary Loizzo, and it contains such enduring tracks like “One With Everything,” “Yes I Can,” “These Are the Times,” “More Love for the Money,” and “Fields of the Brave.” Cyclorama — which also saw a wonderfully enveloping 5.1 surround-sound mix done by the late, great Loizzo for both the DVD-Audio and DualDisc formats, via the Silverline label — reached #127 on The Billboard 200 Albums chart. (Cyclorama wouldn’t be followed up by an all-original studio album until the June 2017 release of The Mission.)
