Can't agree with you. Out of 12 tracks, I only dislike 2 of them. That's pretty darn good. As stated before, if the "Departure" album was released today "fans" like you would probably be complaining that the only worthwhile, decent song on it is "Any Way You Want It". "Generations" is not another greatest hits compilation, why is it being viewed as such?

Journey could've played it safe and given us "Trial by Fire part 3" instead they harkoned back to their Frontiers days and have given us something a little less conventional. I am not suprised in the least that the album is stirring up much debate. I, for one, think that's a good thing.
