So...one performance of a song that sounds borderline AT BEST like Be Good To Yourself proves that they are going to "sound like the same old shit"? Yeah, okay, I'm upset too that Journey apparently isn't going to sound like Insane Clown Posse with this release. What the hell is Journey music supposed to sound like???
Every Journey album from the self-titled debut through Generations, has been at least slightly different from the one before it. Journey's always gone through a constant change, an exploration of the members' various moods, ideas, and ambitions.
Most people that want Journey to "take a new direction" (I'm one of them), aren't necessarily looking for anything extreme. I don't want to see Friga on the turntables while Ross freestyles mad rhymes, and I don't want to hear Neal busting out his meatiest down-tuned grunge riffs. I just want to see them explore a different tone or mood from before, some varied song structures and arrangements, to keep the whole shebang feeling fresh like it always has with every new album.....
....WHILE maintaining the signature Journey "feel." Every album, again, from the self-titled to Generations, has had a Journey "feel." With Ross, Cain, and Neal all aboard plus Deen's skin-pounding and Arnel's good vocals, I don't expect anything less than a good album dripping with Journey goodness.
