After the Behind the Music episode, I had gotten the impression that Neal and Jon both hated ROR. Now, years later, seems to be that Jon actually liked the direction Perry took Journey into on that album. I'm sure Neal probably, still, doesn't care too much for that album, given the fact that he never seemed to like Open Arms until the crowd's reaction when they first played it live.
But, I think we all can agree that as good as each piece was, having Schon, Cain, and Perry together as one song writing collaboration is ultimately what took Journey to their greatest height.
