Review by Gareth Parkin

Fooling Yourself is a classic rock album released by the American band Styx in 1977. The album features some of the band's most iconic hits such as "The Grand Illusion," "Come Sail Away," and "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)." The album showcases Styx's signature sound, which combines progressive rock, hard rock, and pop rock elements.

The album opens with the title track "The Grand Illusion," a song that sets the tone for the album with its catchy melody and thought-provoking lyrics. The album's second track, "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)," is a fan favorite that features a memorable guitar solo and powerful vocals by lead singer Dennis DeYoung. The album's third track, "Superstars," is a slower, more introspective song that showcases the band's ability to create poignant ballads.

The album's standout track is undoubtedly "Come Sail Away," which has become one of the most iconic rock songs of all time. The song features a soaring chorus, intricate instrumentation, and powerful vocals that combine to create an unforgettable listening experience. Other notable tracks on the album include "Miss America," "Man in the Wilderness," and "Castle Walls."
