Listened to Escape earlier, now Arrival

Also, VH III is maybe my #2 VH behind FUCK. I like it that much despite the abomination of self indulgence that is HMSI? and the too slow too long Josephina.

could you take some time and reconsider this? "One i Want" is worse song of all time for them.. even above 5150? and the first album? the album seems blurry..

LOVE One I Want, big daddy. 5150....dunno. got some great songs like the title track, Love Walks In, WCTBL, MAYBE BOBW but the rest, especially stuff like Get Up is like so much Sammy screaming and stuff....not as consistently strong as III what the hell were they doing with "Inside?"

"
"inside" was a joke on roth wasnt it? ,, III would be much more enjoyable if it was recorded clearer, you remember that interview with eddie where he said he went to the record mastering plant and he wanted to stop the process because he wasnt happy with the sound of 3.. and they said NO,, even eddie has no power after the rough album leaves his hands..

Fine if ya wanna joke on DLR but make it a good song. Not a rap full of bad jokes.

BTW those Hagar era albums need a remaster.

75 minutes seems like an eternity sometimes unless it's a fucking brilliant CD. Not many these days.

That would be something that Dream Theater tends to crank out regularly. Awake still stands out as one of their better albums clocking in around that time frame. I myself would prefer more rather than less, but they needed to ditch a couple of the slower songs or something. All the Way, Loved By You were two in particular that annoyed me.

I recall Neal touting Arrival as "Escape 2000".
If you look at the original album track-listing, what was eventually recorded looked alot more like "Trial By Fire" redux.

If online feedback hadn't convinced Neal to implement some much-needed changes, "Arrival" might have surpassed ROR as the lamest Journey album of all time.

Van Halen 3??
Are you kidding me? plain aweful in every way!!!
That was Eddie 's so called solo cd...
He wanted full control over everything & looked what the results were.......
He blamed everyone involved except for His brother n himself.
And he has the balls to put down Sammys cds?
