5.0 out of 5 stars Steve Perry ruined the effort ? Ridiculous !!, March 11, 2004

By	Jazzcat "stef" (Genoa, Italy Italy) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Trial By Fire (Audio CD)

I mean, sometimes you read some reviews and you try to figure out who could write such incredible things. This is a really strong album in my opinion and if Steve Perry had a great responsability in the making, well honor to him because this is a fantastic release and come back album. Too bad Steve left the band again. Don't have nothing with Augeri which sings well, but Perry is simply a legend. Going deep inside the album contents, in my opinion Trial by fire contains some true Journey classics. The first five tracks are perfect, simply perfect Journeyrama, love songs with a punch. Melody and energy. Perfect AOR. Then after those five songs obviously come some weaker songs but some other tunes are great too. Can't tame the lion for example or the titletrack. Second this album sports incredible contributions from all the guys in the band, Schon and Cain for example are at the top of their game. They never sounded so right. Perry has simply the best voice around in this kind of music. He is always touching, soulful, he communicates. He is one of a kind. He's magic. Maybe he cannot scream like he did in the past, so what? His voice is like a good old wine, it is fantastic to hear him still in the new millennium. In the end this album has tremendous quality in the sound department. It is recorded really really well, the overall sound is full, powerful but sophisticated. Guitars has been recorded in a fantastic way. I really love this album which for me is one of the best in the entire exceptional Journey discography. Steve Perry? .. well, his voice is simply fantastic.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good come back for Journey., November 4, 1999

By	Bete Noire (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trial By Fire (Audio CD)

Even though their 1996 reunion was short-lived,this album shows that when great musicians get together the results can be quite spectacular-this is evident in a number of cuts on this album which are instant Journey classics.At the same time,I believe,this record suffers from an overabundance of ballads which somehow break the momentum leading to an overall lukewarm impression after every listen.Perry is in great vocal form,Schon is as impressive as ever,Cain builds massive keyboard backrounds,while Valory and Smith provide a very tight rhytm section;especially Steve Smith's 'jazzified'drumming stands out.A very strong comeback,yet it needed more songs with a punch and a slimer selection of slow numbers.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Very Last Journey, December 15, 2001

By	Michael Kerner "Michael Kerner" (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Trial By Fire (Audio CD)

The music Journey has captured in their long career, was finally shut down in its last end. Trial By Fire, was the final album with lead vocalist Steve Perry.

The songs here are captured elegantly. Unlike any other Journey record, this consisted of a true sense of the music. Songs like It's Just The Rain, and When You Love A Woman proved to fans that Journey would come alive again.

While Perry and Journey split for good a couple of years later, the magic that they have had will always be ignited. Trial By Fire, shows that gift in the fullest bloom.
