  • The Grand Illusion is het zevende in de studio opgenomen album van Styx. Het album is in Chicago opgenomen en kwam in 1977 uit. Het is een conceptalbum over zelfoverschatting en valse status; uiteindelijk zijn we allemaal hetzelfde. The Grand Illusion was het eerste album van Styx dat driemaal platina kreeg; er zijn meer dan 3 miljoen exemplaren van verkocht. Het was echter voornamelijk een Amerikaans succes.
