The title of this article is horrendace, !!
SB~ New "ROCKIER" album for 2011!!

nice... interesting about the GREAT links to HYPE the internet story is still... just saying. But 2011 seems like the year as long as the songs are as good as the HYPE on the new record...

[Ligzig]

They better deliver with this new concept. I'm sick of the same song renamed 20 times. With the talent Journey had/has, it makes me want to beat a cat that they stuck to so many ballads all of these years, then they wonder why they got the "corporate" label. Gee, I dunno....maybe marketing your songs to the teeny boppers of the 80's might be why. If they already know they will be stuck playing the dirty dozen in concert anyway, why keep trying to remake the same song a hit?

Holy Heart Attack Batman...

I TOTALLY thought you meant "Rocky" like ROCKY BALBOA -as did MG. I was thinking it was going to be "What it Takes to Win" over and over (pretty much the only track off Rev that I didn't like).

I don't think I'd seen ONE MORE (linked in the article.) Cool.

What it takes to win....perfect example of why to never let Cain write ever again. Ever.

SB~ New "ROCKIER" album for 2011!!

The new Journey band with their newfound lead singer Arnel Pineda continues to plot one of the greatest band comeback in rock music history.


Tagalog, not English is obviously the author's first language.

The new Journey band. I'm surprised he didn't go ahead and just call them the J-Boyz.

Lidzig, put your head back on …I barely recognize that negative tone!!
You hear the same song over and over because they are trying to stick to the
legacy sound without one of the key ingredients. They try to come up w/new recipes,
but the outcome tastes like pooh, so they end up going back to a recipes they are
familiar with. Still, no matter how hard they try something just isn’t right. The songs
are overdone, not done enough, too salty, too sweet, but mostly just not enough of
something …perhaps w/this change, this new direction, they won’t feel the need to ride the coattails
of the missing ingredient that they’ve already declared no longer exists …NOMOTA!!! Good Luck J~Boys

Negative tone? I thought I was being positive.

I'm still waiting to see how they do with this next Album but if it's the same old shit I'm done. I am giving them slack because Revelations was written before Arnel and I am curious to see what he brings to the table and how they can fit the melody around songs suited for his voice and whether or not they are really going to stick to their word and deliver something new and fresh.

I agree completely with what you said, I feel bad that I jumped on board this band so late, but then again I couldn't help it....I wasn't fucking born when they were still relevant goddamnit. I'm mainly tired of hearing excuses from Neal and the band. Why they can't do this, or that or anything. It's like they are stuck in the 70's and 80's where the internet didn't exist and record labels actually meant something. Nobody is holding them back but themselves. They don't want to make radio friendly hits and really want to break out and play whatever they want in concert? then fucking do it.

Well, everybody is different and all over the place regarding their music. Some don't love their real early music and love it more a few years in when Perry's voice deepened a little. So many didn't like ROR b/c they felt it went pop and missed the old Journey more rock sound. Same with TBF. It is considered by many to be a little boring. Some loved everything but TBF, like me, though it did have some great songs on it, and there are others that think it's one of their best albums. Some like me loved Arrival. I thought Revelation was a good album. It had some really good songs. It wasn't a great album, but neither was TBF. So everybody has an opinion when Journey became unoriginal, I guess, or even which albums didn't work.

do u ever wonder what this band could be without people who no tar hisry? if they culd just sing and play without someone reminding thm of a past singer or song even if they've played the tune more timmes then a man can shake a stick...gues mybe they're playing to pay the bilz and not for the luv.

lol ... ME TOO!!! J~boyz ...gag, whomever came up w/that pseudonym should be shot between the eyes!!
Yes, opinions/tastes differ ...those w/champagne taste will agree that the original recipe,
the most successful era of the band, tastes best!!! Doesn't mean we can't slum it now and again

WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN is by far my favorite song off of Revelations! Great Track.

Ride the coattails of what, themselves, Neal and Jon, co-writers of all their music? lol Revelation had the Journeyesque sound but didn't remind me of Steve Perry days in the least. There's some really good songs on there. But I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with this album, but there had better be some ballads and mid-tempo songs on there or I might have to bail.

So logical--this sounds like a description of most of the fanbase. Neal has said a couple of times that this album was rockin' and slammin'--maybe it's going to rock a little harder since they had so much success at the head-banger concert in Europe... Anyhoo, I love a rockin' Journey/Neal (hard and melodic) so I'm really anticipating this album. No album has disappointed me at all actually--they all have some great tunes on them--Neal and SP's side gigs, too.

I agree with you, Fred. I was joking about bailing. I'm interested in hearing a more high-energy album, since I loved the Graspop concert. But I need a couple ballads and a mid-tempo song on there, or it won't be Journey to me.

[fredinator]

I can't imagine a Journey album without one or two slower songs--Spaceman was on one of the early Neal/Journey albums (I can't remember which one right offhand). People and Places is another one (dang, I can't remember which album it's on either, lol). The 70s albums are my favorites and they had some really rockin' music on them and also these beautiful ballads which really don't sound as corny as the 80s ballads were... Ramble, ramble, sorry.

Me either....Journey seems to = ballads.

and most of the 80's was kind of corny.....at least the clothes and the hair...see Jon Cain ROR....classic 80's
attire and hair!

People and Places is on Departure, one of my top two Journey albums. Love that album.

[fredinator]

Departure has LaDoDa and Opened the Door on it, right? These are 2 of the best rockers I've ever heard... especially live...
