Styx appears in Issue 72 of Progression Magazine to discuss the more progressive compositional aspects of the band's current, and quite brilliant, new studio album, The Mission. Says guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw, "It's been so long since we made a Styx album like the ones we did before, because so much has changed."

In a story written by yours truly, your faithful Styxologist, Shaw, keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan, and Mission producer Will Evankovich all delve into the many prog-leaning elements of the new album, such as the innovative block of time-signature changes that occur during the most harrowing instrumental sequence of the song "Red Storm."
