Shit came out in 1975, and sounded like it was made by a bunch of people wearing tye-dyes, smoking some mary jane! Album sucks (IMHO) and sounds nothing like Journey that we know and love. Those that are OLD and into progressive tunes might dig it man! Next...

I bought all the albums for nostalgia..........listened to it once.........

Kohoutek, Topaz, Mystery Mountain, Of A Lifetime, To Play Some Music... all killer. I love this album. I'm surprised you don't appreciate it more being a musician Jim. There's some great stuff going on there!

Nah...just not my kind of music. I was being a little sarcastic with my opinion, but it's just not my style. I do appreciate the musicianship on it. Gregg was a MONSTER on the organ, and I have some serious respect for him. I own this album (as well as every album they ever released), but I just bought it to fill the collection. I've only listened to it a couple of times. To me, Journey really didn't start until Infinity. That was one kick-ass album, and it's only gotten better from there!

I'll agree with you on all those songs. I love playing Kohoutek and Topaz -- definitely the best instrumentals the band has done IMO.

These guys kicked ass then....

Nope...lived in the Bay Area then....saw em numerous times....they were LOUD too...the way it's supposed to be...shit I EARNED my hearing loss!

God bless Winterland!

I really think the self-titled debut is far and away Journey's best album...

GREAT, sensational music... can't get enough of it.

Prog, great to see you! BTW...Did Kip lean his head in towards yours, or vice versa? Just curious...looks like your head is SERIOUSLY slanted to the left! I'm telling your woman.

That's pretty much what we were wearing and doing in 1975. I guess that makes me OLD I do think it sucks though. There was a lot better stuff out there in '75 like: Fleetwood Mac, Born to Run-Springsteen, Toys in the Attic Aerosmith, & Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd.

Whilst I dont spin that first album all that much, the song "Of a Lifetime" in my opinion is in the top 5 of Journeys greatest songs. pURE Briliance

I bought the Album new and have never listened to it.
