2 Mademoiselle
3 Jennifer
4 Crystal Ball
5 Shooz
6 This Old Man
7 Clair de Lune/Ballerina
Crystal Ball, the title track off of Tommy Shaw's debut with Styx. The title track is a classic. But the rest of the CD doesn't hold up as near as well. Put Me On, is an interesting rocker, sung by JY, and a good song to start the CD off with. Mademoiselle has good harmony with a good guitar lick played through it. Jennifer and This Old Man by DeYoung are nowhere near his best work. The former has some interesting sound effects in the song, but nothing that helps the song out. While Jennifer is almost unlistenable . Tommy's other song, Shooz, tries to rock hard. but to me it is stale. For the most part this whole CD is pretty stale. Who would know,that this would be the superstar line, by listening to this CD?
