Biography

Journey was formed by Santana manager Walter “Herbie” Herbert in 1973 and found most success in the 80s with classic rock tracks including “Don’t Stop Believing”, “Separate Ways”, “Faithfully” and “Open Arms”.

Their first albums, Journey, Look Into the Future and Next, were notable for their excellent musicianship but failed to secure the success they were hoping for. So Journey made an effort to… Read more in Amazon's Journey Store

Format:Audio CD
This was Journey's first album after Steve Perry's debut solo album. For sure, this effort sounds a lot more like Steve's "Street Talk" album than Journey's previous hard-rocking "Frontiers". Clearly at this stage, Steve was taking more control of the band.

Now I certainly love a lot of the songs on this album. "Girl Can't Help It" is a gorgeous, spine-tingling track; but the fact that such a pop-based track led off the album was surely a sign of things to come. "Suzanne" is an underrated track that was a top 20 hit but never got notice once it fell off the charts. "Be Good To Yourself" is one of the only rockers on the album--a very catchy track that was the biggest hit off the album. The title track I give credit to for being unique and another rare rocker here. I also can't help but love the album's last track, the beautiful ballad "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever". This should have been a bigger hit. "I'll Be Alright Without You" was another decent hit.

My problem is with some of the album's other tracks. Songs like "Positive Touch", "Happy To Give", and "The Eyes Of A Woman" are all gorgeous, melodic songs; but all of them would be better served on a Steve Perry solo album than on a Journey album. I prefer to hear heavier tracks with more punch on a Journey album. (What happened to such fare as "Chain Reaction", "Edge Of The Blade", and "Rubicon"--all of which were on the previous Journey album??)

In any event, this album is still a must for my collection, since Journey is my favorite all-time band. The songs are themselves are still in many cases great to listen to. It's just the lack of rock compared to previous efforts that gets this album a slightly lower mark than previous albums.

Let's see, it was the summer of '86, (or was it '87??) and the last choir-like lines of the song "Girl Can't Help It" ended in "oooh-oooooh nothing stands between love and you-ooh". A chill ran up my spine. I was thinking of my summer girlfriend at the time (who dumped me at the end of that summer). Everything jelled at that moment (I was drinking a Mountain Dew at that time and the air conditioner was running). This album turned me on to Journey, even more so than "Escape" or "Frontiers" did. Even though it was not as commercially successful, it had some great songs and still is one of my top 2 favorites from that band. Most fans had thought that by then they had resorted to formula, but I think you can't fault a band that by then had generated more quality hits that to this day people sing as though they were hyms -- think "Stone in Love", "Open Arms", Faithfully", the list goes on. This album just proved that they could still get it right. Even though Beth, my summer time love, is gone (I think she married a professional hog-caller if that gives you any clue as to my desirability), I still have this CD. I now know that everything is fine as long as you have Steve (Perry), air conditioning, and a Dew.

Give it a chance, I say! September 24, 2004
By TDS2BE
Format:Audio CD
On the verge of breakup, Journey released this last Steve Perry-fronted album to mediocre reviews. In my opinion, this album was actually refreshing due to its different sounding tracks as opposed to 1981's Escape and 1983's Frontiers. Both of which are excellent albums.

Radio opens to one of Journey's last hits, "Girl Can't Help It". It then goes into some very unknown material, which came to be my favorite part of the album.

"Positive Touch" is a very fast paced, fun, '80s-style tune which has you boppin' your head. Next comes "Suzanne", my favorite track on the album.I must ask the question... HOW WAS THIS SONG NOT A HIT? It has all of the elements (and more) that made up Journey's previous hits.

This is Journey's best album. Hands down. Not only does it have 3 mainstream hits, "Girl Can't Help It", "Be Good to Yourself", and "i'll Be Alright Without You", but the filler material is excellent. After a few listens, you completely ignore the well-knowns and look forward to hearing songs like "Happy to Give" and "Once You Love Somebody". I encourage all non-Journey fans to check it out, and I also encourage all Journey fans who gave up on this album to give it another listen. A++

Note: this review pertains to the vinyl addition, which is just as good!

A change of pace but good quality nonetheless
Not a thumping CD but a clever more pop CD than their previous efforts. It has been canned in the past reviews but as an offering as a whole, it is a very complete effort. Read more
