what is your favorite journey album cover?

by **mikemarrs** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:49 pm

mine is captured....

by **Jeremey** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 12:10 am

Infinty is the coolest IMO.

Trial By Fire, while it takes it's deserved knocks for artwork, is still pretty original, to say the least. Nothing about it says "Journey," but it's still a cool painting.

I like Christopher Payne's version of Frontiers as well. He did a whole series on those at BT one time.

EVOLUTION!!!

Christopher Payne's version of Frontiers

and ROR

by **NealIsGod** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 12:20 am

E5C4P3 by a mile for me.

by **G.I.Jim** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 12:20 am

I'd have to say mine is a toss-up between Escape, and Frontiers. Love the Scarab, but also love the weird brain/space alien also!

by **bluejeangirl76** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 12:29 am

I love Evolution, and at one point almost considereding getting a tattoo of that one.

And I bet I'm the only one, and I know it's weird and doesn't fit with the rest of the "collection", but I actually like the ROR cover a lot - have since I was a kid. I love mountains so I like the background... I like that it looks like twilight, with the sun *just* gone on the horizon, and I love the little deserted building in the middle of nowhere. I miss living out west when I look at that one. :cry:

So probably between Evolution and ROR for me.

Evolution is my favorite.

I'm ruling Trial By Fire and Greatest Hits Live out...

by **somethingtohide** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 1:10 am

Evolution...Infinity is my next choice.

by **NealIsGod** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 1:12 am

Captured is a pretty cool front and back album cover. Nobody ever mentions that. Cool pictures inside, too.

THANKS FOR SHARING THE WEBPAGE

ROR (love blue) and Departure (so colorful). I am actually cross-stitching both of those (and have the pattern for Escape), LOL it's going to take me years at this rate.....doing them album size. :lol:

TBF does have the scarab on the one "fallen down jar of clay (referenced in the title track.)" Subtle touch.

There's also a comet, or something like that, circling the planet on the TBF cover as on the Evolution, Infinity, and Departure covers. I think it's also called a mobius strip, symbolic of infinity.

Evolution and Departure for me even though I have a piece of art larger than album size of Escape hanging on the wall.

Ya should post more Lu, love seeing that little big smile to the left.........just warms the heart. Such a cutie-pie.

by **Lula** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 2:28 am

thanks Deb. Wyatt is really developing a little personality, very chatty and loaded with smiles. We're sitting here and he's just kicking and talking.. i'm so captured by this baby boy.

by **youkeepmewaiting** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 2:35 am

my personal favourite is Trial BY Fire

Just thought aswell after studying the cd cover for a few minutes:

The words in the song TBF "fallen down but not destroyed just another trial by fire". well on the cover there is the picture of the scarab painted onto a pot that has fallen down . . but not destroyed. POssibly meaning Journey fell down, they collasped but got over it, Journey had not been destroyedv . . .

Escape and ROR

by **Phen** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 3:43 am

Such fine airbrushing...... it's tricky to choose, actually. I'll go for Escape right now because I remember first getting it on vinyl and going "Fucking hell, that's good" when I looked at the sleeve.

by **Higgy** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 5:41 am

Frontiers in all its 1983 glory!

by **ProgRocker53** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 5:43 am

Infinity, or Trial By Fire for me!

by **X factor** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 5:44 am

Has to be RAISED ON RADIO- what a STELLAR design...

:lol:

by **EightyRock** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 6:05 am

TBF, followed closely by ROR.

by **styxman** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 6:26 am

I'm not one for all this complicated artwork, Escape cover is an iconic one but the Red 13 alternative cover does it for me. Sometimes simple is best in design. With so many melodic bands going for futuristic covers it's nice to see a typo design sometimes.

by **brywool** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 6:32 am

INFINITY.

TBF is not so good.
The Greatest Hits Live one with the girl on it is the absolute worst. Who the hell picked that??
I also think Frontiers stinks, but it was good enough for the car company to rip it off for their logo.

I DID like the redone Red13 album. That was nice.
