Paradise Theatre is the tenth studio album by the American rock band Styx, released on January 19, 1981, by A&M Records. It was the band's most commercially successful album, peaking at #1 for three weeks on the Billboard 200 in April and May 1981 (non-consecutively). It was also the band's fourth consecutive album to be certified triple-platinum by the RIAA.

Four singles from the album charted on various charts, with two songs reaching the top 10 pop singles chart. The lead single "The Best of Times", written by Dennis DeYoung, went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Too Much Time on My Hands", written by Tommy Shaw, went to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, Shaw's only top 10 hit for Styx. "Nothing Ever Goes as Planned", written by DeYoung, went to #54 on the US Pop Chart. "Rockin' the Paradise"—written by DeYoung, Shaw and James Young—went to #8 on the Top Rock Track Chart.

All of our records are ultrasonically cleaned. Ultrasonically cleaning a record brings back the highs and lows of a record. Ultrasound technology has been shown to be highly effective at removing contaminants from the surface of vinyl records, which can significantly improve by reducing the amount of noise and distortion caused by dirt and debris, ultrasonic cleaners can help you hear your music more clearly and with greater detail. For audiophiles who value every nuance of their music, this is a major advantage.
