That's a bit rich coming from Mr. "I delete press releases of bands that say they have the dark moody energy of the 90s".
;-p
If you want to make an album of Neal Schon noodling away to drawn out moody rock songs that sounds nothing like Journey, call it SoulSirkUS.
I think the main problem was after the whole JSS shitstorm and the "we want to stick to our heritage sound" press releases.
Then releasing an album that sounds nothing like their heritage sound.
I have a really diverse taste in music, but I still think that sounds like a boring load of shit, "Journey fluff" or not...
