Wait a minute.

Sure it's not this for you:

"NealIsGod's bastard love child of ROR/TBF:













(crickets chirping)








"

I melded those two because they are my two least favorite Journey albums. There are still only a handful of songs I like a lot listed.

Not necessarily in that order.

Personally ALL I need are those evergreenedly cool effects Shirly brought to TBF and I'M thrilled like the incessant loud strings, perry on a talkbox in CB, jungle sounds and a THUNDER STORM!!!!!!

You also thought Baby Geniuses should have won an Oscar.

Mmmm...yea, but that was before I knew Kathleen Turner was a SHIM.

Time exposes certain things, and certain things date and then you have those wonderful subtle effects on TBF, that have just aged IMPECCABLY.
The album came out in 96 and listening to that jungle soundtrack on COTS i'd SWEAR it was at LEAST '97.

Yay, Kevcat!!!!!!!!!

Perfect NIG! The only one I would change would be One More for maybe, If He Should Break Your Heart or Forever in Blue.

I would merge "Evolution" and "Departure".

Majestic / Too late
Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'
Walks Like a Lady
City of the Angels
Any Way You Want It
Sweet and Simple
Departure / Good Morning Girl
Just the Same Way
Where Were You
Line of Fire
Lady Luck

No, baseball is not gay. Just the Yankees.

Hey I just bought the Trial By Fire remaster yesterday with the bonus track (yeah, I'm about a year behind). It sounded GREAT, though there's just still too many ballads on there. In my opinion I would have kept only WYLAW, Still She Cries, and Easy to Fall as the only ballads. I posted some variation of this a while back, but I still think had TBF been put on a diet, it could have easily been one of their strongest CDs, perhaps only behind Escape.

1. Message Of Love
2. One More
3. When You Love A Woman
4. If He Should Break Your Heart
5. Still She Cries
6. Can't Tame The Lion
7 Forever In Blue
8. Easy To Fall
9. I Can See It In Your Eyes
10 Trial By Fire


Voila! Perfect 10 song opus! No sleepers! No clunkers!

That being said, I just completely dig where Perry's voice was on this recording. Despite the lung he hacked up during "One More," just complete perfection from all angles. Not his best technical performances, but what delivery.
