They have a completely different appeal from their contemporaries Styx and Journey.
This band is best described as American progressive hardcore.
It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 and sold 4 million copies. This is a representative work that includes the smash hit single "Subete wa Kaze no Naka de Dust in the Wind." The beauty of the orchestration, featuring violins and keyboards, reached its peak.
