Journey back to the load, as in his earlier "Revolution" of 2008 left a great taste, composition-are in good shape, the addition of Arnel Pineda has been positive, the Philippines (which was a fan of the group and had a group of Schon versions until he made the call of his life) has adapted well to the combo and perfectly replaces Steve Perry, the true voice of Americans. Steve Augeri was not bad at all but I think Arnel is a tone more similar to God Perry, one of the best vocalists in the style of the story.
Three years have passed since the publication of his earlier work and I say that was worthwhile and that the "Eclipse" (great cover with the distinctive beetle group blocking the sun) will be among the ten best of 2011 in terms of melodic sounds are concerned.
Speaking of Journey is to talk about one of the largest groups of AOR has borne in history, some approach it as Toto, Survivor and Foreigner, but I think in terms of quality and recordings, those of Cain and company are a step above. Exciting work as "Escape," "Frontiers" or more recently "Arrival" can not miss on any shelf of good soft rock music lover, where the pleasant vocals, keyboards right place, impressive arrays of a class, the chorus and worked beautiful melodies rampant and how folks.
This time we have twelve new pieces, ranging from half time and straight rockers, with greater presence of Schon (City of Hope ideal for open, Edge of the Moment excellent song very cool Seventh Key, Chain of Love more progressive and certain air Egyptian Ritual throughout a single in power, as we roll and Human Feel Someone also showing progressive touches to Toto (Deen original brand rate half tribal) and remarkable technical detail, despite its nearly seven minutes listening to really good ), the odd gem where they show their experience and songwriting talent as Anything is possible you injected a tremendous desire to live, positivity and joy turned into great song, my favorite of the work.
Resonate deserves a separate paragraph authentic cream almost ballad begins to awaken and show a progressive increase in the height, gives us some grandstanding vocal lines, full of power and the melodies from another galaxy have always been house brand, the chorus is to remove the hat and the work of Neal bright, well clothed and always Castronovo and Ross Valory on bass. Issues like this are what make enlarge the legend of Journey.
They could not miss the classic ballads, which have always been teachers, Tantra puts goose bumps and moves to the coolest place, wonderful keyboards and Jonathan Pinella check it passion and sensitivity, great song that can be perfectly your next direct yet unobtrusive Open Arms and Faithfully. To Whom It May Concern is another beautiful slow deep cove you from the first listen and is the title of "Gods of AOR" is not given to you in a raffle, the pulse beats and hard disk.
She's a Mystery is probably the most lie still for the shoot, is developed with southern flair, pleasant but little chicha, fortunately off at minute 5 with good guitar riff cane, Schon shows part of his technique in the single final but the truth is that it saves only the closing stretch, to 6.40.
Neal Schon is an exceptional guitarist who perfectly combines power and melody, instantly recognizable throughout the album is very planted and allowed to even let go the good instrumental that closes, Venus.
Journey are back to surprise us again with a quality work filled with great cuts, without a doubt one of the best albums this 2011, "Eclipse" is recommended for any lover of good melodic rock and especially the followers of the American . Four well-polished horns, 7.75 Jalfords for the New Beetle Neal Schon and company.

Journey "Eclipse" ("ECL1P53") 2011.CD
Old men do not belong here?
This album Journey sent to rest other voluntarily choosing to retire in the deep "neck" ... Styx, Uriah Heep, Foreigner and others who dare to continue to record a hard-pump-aorta have much time to think before I go into the studio.
Second wind with the acquisition of new songbird Arnel Pineda continues to successfully inflate the air was blown away once the wheel of the legendary band. The second album from Pinedo has turned out even better than the previous "Revelation" (2008).
Everything here can be - and stadium anthems, and ballads. Powerful, very melodic and emotionally, subtly and slowly, gently and confidently - it is at a level of melodic rockers a new generation is not able to work. Living example, I hope, will inspire the continuation of the case which involved mostly retired types Journey, Styx, Uriah Heep and Foreigner. (I'm afraid to imagine, after Mr.Big, what will the new album Night Ranger.) Very good selection of songs and arrangements make the album one of the best creations of Kevin Shirley, who has recently been unkind word I remembered in connection with Mr.Big "What If ...".
Album with confidence grows from track to track - "Edge of the Moment", "Anything Is Possible" and "Resonate" - a very strong track ...
Highly unusual "She's a Mystery" asks for an album with Robert Plant, country, quite in keeping with its recent affiliation ... In "Human Feel" accompanies us in the end elegant guitar solo Neal Schon ... Between cocky "Ritual" and "Someone" squeezed beautiful ballad "To Whom It May Concern" ... The instrumental "Venus" is beautiful and pompous completes new album, Journey.
Only positive emotions. A decent album for the shelf with the classical AORom.
9 / 10
