Since their late-'90s reunion, Styx has been the subject of countless budget-priced compilations. And as usual, the "compilers" are quite sneaky -- as buyers are fooled into thinking they're buying a compilation of original versions, before finding out that the versions are from the latter-day live releases. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that, for the most part, 2001's Yesterday & Today fits this description. Plucking selections from three different albums -- Return to Paradise, Brave New World, and the half Styx/half REO Speedwagon Arch Allies, Yesterday & Today mixes the classics ("Grand Illusion," "Too Much Time on My Hands," "Fooling Yourself") with the newer studio tracks ("Number One," "Best New Face," and more). Also included is a bonus video. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
