Ditto that. Far and away my favorite.

RoR was really good and i rank it high on the list. Steve’s voice on this album is grand and he takes it to levels i thought weren’t possible after Frontiers. The tour though, while it had its fine moments, seemed rushed and ultimately IMO did some damage to Steve’s chords based on a few Live YouTube uploads i have heard where his voice strained and cracked. I cringe when i hear it because it is the first time up to that point his voice seemed vulnerable. He/they pushed too hard and in hindsight you can tell he was getting cooked. I’m sure the peruvian marching powder didn’t help either, and probably was the main reason for the chord vulnerability(my theory anyway).
I have just recently gone back to TBF to give it an honest spin instead of a one and done of MOL. Starting to warm up to it and there are actually four or five songs that i quite like. The above review seems a tad on the harsh side.

I totally agree. I actually like the rasp in his voice and that combined with the emotion on many of those ROR songs takes you to a different place. I could also feel that from many of the TBF songs.

And while it's tempting to call Easy to Fall the standout, for me TBF gave me the ultimate Journey song in the form of If He Should Break Your Heart.
