True, but this is also thanks to a perfect storm of events, especially the DSB resurgence fueled by The Sopranos and The OC. Right out of the gate, the Augeri era was doomed. Sony didn't believe in the lineup, Arrival was leaked online, and most casual audiences thought the band had somehow unfairly moved on w/out Perry. With Pineda, fans seem more accepting of a Perry-less Journey. It's as if enough time has passed for people to realize that Perry ain't never coming back. It also didn't help matters that Augeri screwed up every live media appearance (CBS morning show, Blind Date etc).
