If you want to hear the songs for yourself, you can find some of them on Napster now. While I am disappointed for the band's sake, I can only attest to how much I LOVE this new music. I've heard bits and pieces of about 8 or 9 of the songs, and I'm VERY happy with how JOURNEY it sounds. I've been a fan for 20+ years, and there is stuff I'm hearing that is not only reminiscent of their glory albums like Escape and Frontiers, but there is also a song called "Livin' to do" that most closely resembles work they did on Dream after Dream, or maybe Infinity's Winds of March. I am saying this, though... If you download the music and like it, then buy the record. If you're a fan, I don't think you'll be disappointed in the new tunes.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4126#msg-4126Sun, 19 May 2013 02:57:02 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4460#msg-4460 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4460#msg-4460
That was the first time I ever heard Don't Stop Believin'. The song remains my favorite not because it is the greatest song ever written, but because it was the first song that made me realize what music could do to me on an emotional level. How it could move me, touch me, and "speak" to me. That was the first time I FELT the music instead of just "hearing" it.

I know, pretty sappy, but it's the truth. That is the exact moment I fell in love with music.Not just Journey, but any kind of music that would move me in some way. Thanks for lettin' me share a fond memory.]]> Brian Mc NoticeboardWed, 16 Aug 2000 12:29:31 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4289#msg-4289 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4289#msg-4289 BlueLightning NoticeboardSat, 12 Aug 2000 03:20:44 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4256#msg-4256 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4256#msg-4256

Frontiers???

Favorite song?

Seriously, one of the songs that just speaks to me for whatever is People and Places from the Departure album. Not sure what it is about that song...but It's one of the neater songs.

Speaking of Arrival....

Is it me or did the Livin to Do sound like something off Departure? Seems like there was a couple tracks that have their influences from Escape and a couple that seem like it has Departure written all over them

Overall, I have a good feeling about this CD. I'm surprised Lifetime of Dreams isn't going to be the one they picked for Radio rather than all the way.

Feeling That Way / Anytime - you gotta love the vocal exchange between Perry and Gregg Rollie

Stone in Love - Schon lets loose from beginning to end of this track

As much as I look forward to this new "Arrival" and as much as I like the new Steve, I will never truly be happy unless / until I get a chance to see Perry, Schon, Cain, Smith, Vallory and Rollie together one time on stage. That would be pure rock 'n roll heaven.]]> Whynot NoticeboardWed, 09 Aug 2000 20:44:50 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4144#msg-4144 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4126,4144#msg-4144
