I think Augeri's most outstanding vocal performances can be found on "Walking Away from the Edge" & "The Time". "Walking Away from the Edge" & "The Time" aren't typically dated 80's sounding Journey songs (as most of the Cain-era has produced) this can largely be attributed to a less heavy emphasis on synthesizer.
And I think because of this, because the songs are slightly removed from what we've come to expect from typical-sounding Journey, Steve's vocals really, perhaps for the first time, are allowed to stand on their own merits. His voice lends itself nicely to the blues and "The Time" has a bluesy edge to it that I think fits his voice to perfection. I'd like to see more songs like that one in Journey's future.
So, what songs do you think display the best of what Augeri's got?
