Of the new songs that so far we've only heard the two soundbytes, which one are you most looking forward to hearing in full?

Also, I didn't include Faith In The Heartland, even though we haven't heard the new version in full yet.

For me, it's Change For The Better, but most of the others are very close as well...

What It Takes To Win.

When I read Cain say "We also drummed up sports anthem" I had the same reaction that I did in '05 when I saw the title of Faith In The Heartland.

"Oh no."


Both times I am thrilled to say I liked what I heard instantly upon listening.

What It Takes To Win and Where Did I Lose Your Love sound very promising.

What It Takes To Win

Haven't heard Journey do a good instrumental in a long time, so I picked that one.

the instrumental

Voted for "Where did I lose your love?" But, so far, I'm already hooked on "Sunshower", "What it takes to win" and, "What I needed"...

What I needed
Where did I lose your love
Sunshower

All those tracks sound like pure Journey from the 70's to 80's Perry era. The first time I think they've achieved this in the post Perry era I might add...

What it takes to win and Change for the better sound extremely cheesy to me. When I say extreme, I'm talking gouda, swiss, monster, mozzarella and that one that smells like feet. That's how cheesy we're talking. I mean seriously, from the little I've heard on those two, sounds like Cain went as far into the lyrical cheese factory as he did on Winds of Freedom. These songs could have been recorded by Survivor as part of the Rocky IV soundtrack. Thats how little I think of them.

Still, I'll give them a fair listen when I hear the full album.

Nobody did.
But Deano dropped by Tom's crib and dropped an "upper decker" so that why's he's sour.

It's all about the instrumental for me.

That's what I voted for. All this trouble Neal and Jon go through to find a new singer, get a work visa, and god knows how many hours, days, weeks and months they worked on the new albums and getting Arnel to sing it the way they want, and we choose the instrumental.

Still no love for Turn Down The World Tonight...

Never really dug Bad English or Survivor. Turn down the world tonight and Wildest Dreams sound like Survivor/Bad English tunes at best. Of course, this is all based on sound clips, but that's my first impression from what I've heard.

I was looking forward to the Journey Revelation instrumental until I heard a clip with Arnel wailing in the background for no good reason. Stood out like a sore thumb, didn't fit what was going on within the instrumentals and it wasn't necessary. Worse, it felt like a contrived attempt to do something Perry would do but without succeeding.

Three songs I'm looking forward to so far. The rest, eh, we'll see. Still, all in all, the album appears to be a step up from the Augeri years IMO.

You must be talking about Survivor and the Jimi Jamison era.

All of them. Like A Sunshower is a title that sounds a little gay but I'm willing to give it an fair shot and listen to it.

DUDE.. I just noticed that.. I had only heard the second preview before this.

Completely unnecessary on first impression.

None

"Like A Sunshower" sounds the least formulaic to me.
Almost sounds like something off Infinity.

Not that I don't like the Journey formula, but anytime the band goes for something a little different, I am intrigued.

Turn down the world tonight and Sunshower. I agree with the comments about Sunshower having that Infinity sound, which of course I like

So does "what I needed".

"like a sweet sunshower" is a line in REO's Roll With the Changes...
