Journey (Official Thread)

Re: The Official JOURNEY Thread

If you add Mystery Mountain, they wouldn't know it was Journey, but that is such an awesome song......

Oh I love "Mystery Mountain"! All of the kids these days though (I say "kids these days" as if they're not a year or two younger than me. ) with their Drakes and Nicki Minajs would call it "old" or something. Steve Perry era Journey is more accessible for them though.

Re: The Official JOURNEY Thread

Wow! Maybe I should've checked this thread out first but I had no idea Journey started off with a different vocalist. I just listened to the whole s/t debut:



When I first heard the first song I was like "Wow, this is a different Journey, much more darker and melodic. I was like Steve Perry has a more brooding deeper vocal as well. Wait, is this even Steven Perry?" I looked it up to see that my suspicions were right and it was a completely different vocalist. Honestly though, I think Greg Rollie is a very adequate vocalist. In fact, I would like to hear him get more vocal time because the album is flooded with 85% instrumentals. I know this is a more progressive Journey but the progressive bands I've heard recently all have more vocals than this. My favorite track is actually the first track:

Of A Lifetime


This song made me feel like I was going on a good journey but I was left kind of unsatisfied by the end result. The positive was that I got to see a different side to a band I never knew existed. Up to now my only guide was this Greatest Hits package (I think everyone and their mom and their mom has it):

Actually, say aye if you don't have this album? I doubt 99% of this forum would!

Anyway, it'll be interesting o see how this band progressed to their poppier existence!

I have it too. It was my only Journey album for a long time before I started picking up their studio albums one by one.

Re: The Official JOURNEY Thread

My favorite Journey Song(s) is...
"Feeling That Way/ Anytime" (I love singing along with Steve Perry's part during Feeling That Way")

Also, "The Hustler" off of next which I mentioned earlier but felt that song needed to be mentioned again because it Kicks ASS!

Re: The Official JOURNEY Thread

I kinda figured you would like that album from Journey. Not all of Journey's albums were driven by the vocals of Steve Perry and not all of Journey's music was pop oriented either
