We've been had and I couldn't be happier

The new Jimi Jamison album is ultimately contrived, AOR by numbers, predictable and a complete and blatant rip off of the very best of Survivor with the odd bit of Journey thrown in for a couple of choruses.
And thank God for that !!
A cynical study has been made of Jimi's 1980s lyrics, phrasing & dynamics, even the plodding drums of Survivor have been recreated. There's probably a case that could be answered in court, but I still love every damn note on the album.
Jimi was the mid-late 80s voice of Survivor and he's missed having songs like those to sing ever since. Pride of Lions must have been chomping on some pretty sour tasting antelopes these last 2 months.
