Music reviews of One Hundred Years From Now
Music Review: Dennis DeYoung At His Best
Rating: 5 Stars
There is not a weak song on this very fine CD from Dennis DeYoung. Best of all is the amazing, powerful voice of DeYoung. He has not lost a single step from the earliest of his recordings when he was the voice of Styx. If anything, his voice is stronger and more nuanced. He throws in amazing falsettos and hits notes younger people could never even attempt.
His musicians and singers on the CD are a wonderful compliment to this voice. In addition, we get the always superior keyboarding skills of DeYoung on all tracks -- synth, piano, even the accordion. And it also must be added that he produced the entire CD.
Track by track:
One Hundred Years from Now - The title track was originally performed as a duet, but done solo here. Powerful, with a mix of sounds, old and new. The guitar solo is as good as anything you will hear on any rock album.
This Time Next Year - Powerhouse rock with a driving back beat. DeYoung lets loose on this one. My only quarrel with it would be the weak-sounding backing vocals that detract from the forceful nature of this song.
Rain - Wow. That is about all I can say. This one insistently gets in your head, much like the rain in the lyrics. Another rocker with great throwback synthesizer work by DeYoung.
Crossing the Rubicon - The original title song, this is a true masterwork in the tradition of his best writing both for Styx and in his solo years. Quite powerful as a self-examination. Lots of symbolism in the lyrics and the whole thing has a sort of Grand Illusion era feel to it. Another standout on a CD full of standouts.
Save Me - My personal favorite. Just a great, great song. Has an old feel to it and yet feels very current as well. A GREAT chorus sung so beautifully in harmony.
I Don't Believe in Anything - Oh wow! This is so different in style from anything he has ever written. The words are in your face and unapologetic. And the Dobro work is top notch. Just a great, great song.
Pvt. Jones - Another one that gets into your head and won't let go. A strong, driving rock song with a fantastic, melodic chorus that carries it throughout.
I Believe in You - Just gorgeous classic Dennis DeYoung power ballad. He is the master of such songs. Again, fabulous harmonies and a catchy rolling beat to it. Awesome Bruce Hornsby style piano riff by Dennis at the end of this one, too.
There Was A Time - This one, another ballad, sounds much more like the music he recorded on his solo works in the 80's. Nice harmonies, once again.
Breathe Again - Is an exquisite song devoted to his wife Suzanne. The harmonies are nothing short of spectacular. Quite a beautiful number and one of his very best of the songs he has written for her. Nice acoustic guitar intro plus an old school synth solo to just add to the pleasant mix on this.
Forgiveness - Haunting song. The lyrics are very, very powerful. As with much of his music, there are many layers and many meanings to the words he writes.
Turn Off CNN - Another rocker and this one is classic DeYoung commentary on our times. He lets the listener know to Turn off CNN. Turn it OFF!
