Have been coming across intermittent speculations on the next Journey album title for some time now...Just found myself considering "Altitude"...a raw thought conjuring up random images of flight, heights, sustained popularity, and the like.

ALTITUDE...Blast it by all means but offer an alternative! :twisted:

Here's the exhaustive list of options amassed through unrestrained and spontaneous discussion lol:

A.A.R.P. (Enigma869)
Altitude
Awakening (Gunbot)
Chrysalis (StocktontoMalone)
Cocoon (Gunbot)
Destination (Saint John)
Destiny (Saint John)
Erection (stevew2; SJ won't mind)
Eternal (Arianddu)
Eternity (Gunbot)
Exodus (StocktontoMalone)
Farewell (Behshad)
Freedom (StoneCold)
Gestalt
IAOTIO-TA
Illumination (Gunbot)
Greatest Hits II (finalfight)
Judgement (RossValoryRocks)
Miracle (finalfight)
More Essential Journey (finalfight)
Phoenix (StocktontoMalone)
Reckless (finalfight)
Resurrection (Gunbot)
Rose-Coloreds (StocktontoMalone)
Sayonara (Gunbot)
Schonsation (4ever4Steve)
Shanghaied (strangegrey)
Transcend (ProgRocker53)
Viagravation (4ever4Steve)

"Judgement" time (see poll)! Any input hereafter won't make it as an option. Found out that a ceiling of 20 choices is in effect, so 9 of the 29 suggestions above were dropped--all 3 of mine, "Erection" lol, and 5 others raffled out of contention. (The unlucky 9 are in italics.)

Eternity
Then again maybe that should be the name of Perry's new album.
Judging by how old these guys are, I'm gonna go with...
Sayonara

I recall someone suggesting "Resurrection"...seriously.

Posted: **Tue Sep 16, 2008 1:55 pm**

OK.....then how about Phoenix?

Infinty

i like Ressurrection also.

Raised on Radio was supposed to be called ...

"Freedom"

It'd be a good name for a last album as well.

Careful...The Scarab might get pissed. :lol:

Illumination

Was reminded of the argument often held on to by many here--that, simply put, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Came up with "Gestalt" in addition then:

Meriam-Webster Online Dictionary wrote:gestalt

: a structure, configuration, or pattern of physical, biological, or psychological phenomena so integrated as to constitute a functional unit with properties not derivable by summation of its parts

I say Judgement...it always comes after revelation!

Eternity would be great next album title

Sayonara sounds great for their LAST album...

I like that.

Resurrection would only be appropriate if ... erm... yanno... you know who were back.
Actually, if that happened I'd revisit his 3 word title theme and call it "Hell Froze Over"... but that's just me.

My guess would be either 'Greatest Hits II' or 'More Essential Journey'. Seriously though I quite like 'Miracle' or the more slightly more rockin' 'Reckless'.

Erection

Perry's next album will be called 'A Tribute to Steve Perry' and he won't be on it. It will likely be released after he passes probably many decades from now. :shock:

This will not make sense in Japan where Journey is big. They will say "Election" is an odd title for an album...

Overlooked that angle lol.

First time meeting the concept...interesting lol. Sharing this from the Online Etymology Dictionary:

shanghai

"to drug a man unconscious and ship him as a sailor," from the practice of kidnapping to fill the crews of ships making extended voyages, such as to the Chinese seaport of Shanghai
