13, you should call your dad, Jerry, and ask for advice. Arrival is shit compared to TBF.

This board does nothing for me anylonger, but I can't read this crap and let it go by unchecked.
back to your scheduled borefest.


Ah! So that's the trick. :wink: :lol:

I guess this is another example of differences in taste and differences in what means Journey to people. To me Arrival is a good melodic rock album in the Journey vein, but the vocals are just "good but not great" so it just isn't quite Journey calibre.

The songs on Arrival are overall better, Deano.

Just like I also think the songs overall on ROR are better than BOTH.

The buck teeth are the best part of the av.

Well, Dean, I was referring to one aspect of Arrival v TBF, Not the record as a whole...but I will go on record as saying that TBF could have been ALOT better if you took about 3-4 of those (clearly) SP solo songs (as they exist on TBF), Jettison them for some rockers/mid-tempo tracks...and it could have been untouchable. Easy To Fall, Dont Be Down On Me and It's Just The Rain...eh, those three songs ruin the record for me. No one song on Arrival completely ruins the record for me...although Kiss Me Softly sure comes damn close.

I have to agree with Sherrie here...Journey's music is a matter of tastes,but maybe that's what's makes us all such an interesting fanbase. 8)

As for TBF,I strongly believe that it's one of Journey's masterpieces.I truly love Arrival,it IS a great melodic album,but after something as majestic as TBF it sounds like a sweet breeze after an F4 tornado.At least that's how I hear it.

And had the singers in those songs been reversed, your opinion of the songs would also be reversed.

You are one of the biggest loons out there, Matt. But you can stay. :lol:


:lol: Thanks NIG.

Yes, you're abolutely right. The Voice would have brought those songs on Arrival to life.

By the way, Red...where do you stand on all the other ballads?


Aside from the second 1/2 of Little Girl and After The Fall which I classify as ballady but was roundly dismissed one time when I did (which prolly speaks to why I like it, maybe it ISN'T a ballad) I don't care if ever hear one again. Including OA and F.

Six ballads? Are you counting "It's Just The Rain" and "TBF"? Because they aren't traditional ballads in the way WYLAW most certainly is.



And, here's the kicker....Neal's playing lacks that fire...the tension between Perry and Neal isn't there.



I agree that Schon's work on that album lacked the fire and the quality of the previous Journey albums. But that's his responsibility not Perry's.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the last solo Schon played on record which blew me away was...Be Good To Yourself. I haven't heard anything as good as that since...with Perry or without.

However he's still on fire in concert....even though he has lost some of the simplicity and emotion he used to have.

The Wheels Are Turnin' album was pretty poor it's true...but the title track and "Can't Fight This Feeling" are AOR classics.

I don't care what you call a traditional ballad, the above mentioned songs are ballads...plain and simple. A spade's a spade, whether the handle is molded plastic or hand carved bubinga.
