This sounds like all the good songs on Arrival and Generations simply re-written. Arnel's accent comes through too much for my liking, and his phrasing is a little choppy...but overall does a fine job. Neal sounds awesome, of course. It has it's moments, but this album will not get any repeated listens from me. If this were some new band on Frontiers or something, I don't think some Journey fans would be loving it...they'd say "it sounds like they're trying to be Journey"...that's what this sounds like to me...a band trying to be Journey."
Yeah they should have done something original like your album.
Haha! I knew that was coming.
The difference is that Line Of Fire was a vanity project, created to make exactly the music that was made. There was no attempt to be original and we never alluded that we were. We know what we are. We make throwback music for fans of it.
Journey, if you believe Neal, wants to "move forward"...this CD does anything but...Generations was more forward thinking than this, even though it didn't always work...they at least tried.
LINE OF FIRE- Shit, that's you! I forgot that and meant to buy that album! Gotta do that.
Yup...that's me. I'm the singer...glad you like it and THANK YOU in advance.
