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.
