Its laughable concept poisoning the lyrics with cringeworthy references and passages keep reminding you the silliness you are listening to. Other than that, the music is fun enough.

I liked the opening track, even how cheesy and dated it is. The track, "Don't Let it End" is also just as cheesy but damn if it doesn't just make you smile. Styx seems to half commit to the concept though as the entire album feels like a 40 minute tangent in the first act of a full story.

While KILROY WAS HERE is a gloriously bad album for the most part, it is still fun to occasionally queue this one up, chuckle and wonder what the other guys in Styx were thinking when they had to perform this album live. I do believe this album does require a sense of humor to endure. I won't deny that I do still enjoy this album for the nostalgia it provides, but it is undoubtedly the cheesiest album Styx ever made.

In Kilroy Was Here, an album about censorship and about the titular character's struggles to lift the ban on rock music (or whatever the concept is supposed to be, I can't even tell by the time I make it to "High Time"), the album's subject wears thin quickly thanks in no part to a paper thin story that hardly elaborates on how rock music got banned in the first place and how the villain, Dr. Righteous, even got that much authority to ban rock music in the first place. Then again, I'm seriously questioning a story where the main character's name literally spells out ROCK. Styx truly is the worst.
