Exactly....
That might be the dumbest Journey-related post I've ever read on this forum.
What's got your goat tonight Dave? It was a totally reasonable thing to say. This record is straining to sound like classic Jourey but it doesn't quite get there. It sounds a bit empty, a bit bogus. You might not hear it that way but this is hardly an outlandish comment to make.
Saying Revelation is up there with the greatest records ever recorded? Now THAT is the kind of moronic talk you should be policing...
It's a great record, yes, but nowhere near the greatest...
Revelation hooked me on first listen, but I didn't feel inspired and riveted the way I did when I first listened to a few other albums... (Journey's debut, Images & Words, Misplaced Childhood, any of the last four PT albums, etc.)
