Samples of the whole album-

[Saint John]

I think I'm more excited about this ablum now than I was after hearing the full versions of CoH and Human Feel. Cautiously optimistic, like any good Cleveland citizen would be about anything he is a fan of

You and me both Matt! I was a little worried after hearing those two songs, but I hear a TON of promise in these clips! I cannot WAIT to throw the actual album in my rectum.

You're weird.

[Melissa]

Allow me to be negative?

No.

Yes

Now, now, don't be a puss These are samples and you're only allowed to love them

Sounds promising to me too, but agree the samples are pretty crappy, horrible timing to some of them, like they didn't pay a bit of attention at all to a song and make the sample true to the song.

[Andrew]

What the fuck is this Anything Is Possible sample? Sounds like it cuts off right at what sounds to be a big chorus. It's almost like a computer randomly extracts these samples from the music file.

Correct.

[Andrew]

This really pisses me off. Label and mgmt said NO more samples. Yet Amazon do whatever the fuck they like....and in doing so, put up really shitty quality 30 second samples that miss the actual hook of the songs. No effort whatsoever put into this.

Well, maybe now management will let you put some better samples on MelodicRock of all the songs, since samples are out now.

I have asked....and added my annoyance!

Well, they should. It's good promo for the album. So a win-win.

Andrew, is Venus a instrumental or just a bad sample like Resonate with no vocals?

Last track is instrumental...as mentioned many times

[Andrew]

Also, Tantra sounds like the modern day Winds of March to me (or at least the soft parts of WoM).

That one pissed me off in particular...you have no idea where that song goes!

[The_Noble_Cause]

Sounds great. Melodic, yet for the most part modern. Even just from these brief clips, you hear Cain's involvement prominently. I get a slight "Wildest Dream" vibe from "Ritual", otherwise, this all sounds fresh and new.

Actually, me and my brother were listening to that clip, and in the first two seconds looked at each other and said "Holy Shit, that sounds like it belongs on Arrival"



I am so thankful that there are clips to listen too, yet I am super pissed about that shitty Resonate clip. I really really wanted to hear a sample of studio version of that song, because just the you tube version (Thx again RipRokken) alone has me eagerly awaiting the new album... how many more days till this is out?!?!?! The wait is freaking killing me!!

[VirgilTheart]

I was merely referring to what I heard in the sample, which honestly did remind me of Winds of March.

Makes you wonder if Amazon got those samples legally.

[fightingilliniJRNY]

Yeah, the choice for the clip of Chain Of Love in particular is terrible.

Really? I thought that was a good clip.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great part of the song. But based on what we've heard from YouTube, it's certainly not the part of the song that I will be remembering the most.

[Saint John]

Observations from the clips:

To Whom It May Concern's first 5 or so seconds sound like Winger!

Venus sounds a bit like the jam session at the end of Stone In Love.

Everyone keeps focusing on Neal because he seems to be the most prominent musician on Eclipse, but I'm hearing some of Jon's finest work ever on here. He seems to have traded in some of the cheesy/trademark synth riffs licks for some tougher, edgier stuff.

The production on the clips sounds amazing and promises to be their best ever. I'm very impressed.

[Eric]

"Anything is possible" sounds a little like Augeri is singing.....

[george_g]

LOOOOOOL can't stop laughing, the guy who edited the samples should be drunk....

I like "Ritual"

[JRNYFan]

Have thee clips been removed or is that just me?

[Saint John]

Just played them. It's you.

[NoMoreTails]

I like what I’m hearing…. most do not sound like the hard rocking Neal-fest descriptions we’ve heard, though evidently most all of them move in a harder direction in other sections of the songs. Cain is well represented in these clips and Arnel sounds incredible. She’s a Mystery is my favorite to this point, Neal’s sound is similar to the acousitc performances of Liberty.

[Don]

Frontiers should have these pulled and submit their own samples for Amazon to use. Totally unprofessional.

Absolutely agree.

[brywool]

These songs sound great and different for a Journey album. Acoustic guitar? Dang, haven't heard that forever.
Very cool. Can't wait!
I'm glad that the samples are random spots. It doesn't spoil the hook too early.

Only complaint I have is "State of Grace...."

[JourneyHard]

I haven't heard Eclipse yet, but from what I have heard I have the feeling that Arnel going to be the bright spot on the album. I think his singing will make Journey into the Journey that they haven't been in 30 years! I know why I first fell in love with Journey's music and I have the inkling that they could be that again and more!

I guess I find out one month from Easter!

[tanga]

I can't wait for this album... Fuck yeah!!!

[Journey/Survivor]

This really pisses me off. Label and mgmt said NO more samples. Yet Amazon do whatever the fuck they like....and in doing so, put up really shitty quality 30 second samples that miss the actual hook of the songs. No effort whatsoever put into this.

Maybe they think your a stalker?

[JourneyHard]

I am hearing Tommy Shaw in Arnel's voice on To Whom It May Concern. Sweet!

NIPPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Usually Journey delivers an instant hook, these songs take some time obviously to "get it" which probably doesn't hold well for radio play. The only sample that imo had a decent instant hook was "Someone". Kudos for the boys trying something different, but it's going to be hard sell to the masses.

Most of the other samples don't include the hook/chorus. I think "Resonate" is very catchy. From what Andrew says, "Anything is Possible" is also an arena sing-a-long anthem.

[steveo777]

I believe there is a flow to this entire album song to song and there are probably plenty of hooks that we don't get from the clips. "concept album"

[Saint John]

It's like they made sure that they didn't put ANY of the hooks or choruses in the clips! I hope Drew can procure some better clips for us. Go get 'em, Drewsky!

[Archetype]

I knew I was picking up a "Remember Me" esque drum beat in "Edge of the Moment" Sounds awesome. Loving the production quality.

[Argus]

Frontiers should have these pulled and submit their own samples for Amazon to use. Totally unprofessional.

I think since Frontiers is listed that Frontiers supplied the clips.
