Cant wait for this one, the last album Revelations was awesome! Arnel Pineda is a great singer and great replacement.

We'll have this in the van on tour Gav!!!

why do i always want to say Piñata instead of Pineda ?

 

[Prosopagnosia11]

Really proud of my fellow Filipino, Arnel Pineda!

I've heard about 4 or 5 new songs from Eclipse live on youtube - already I can safely say this sounds like a step up from Revelations

This album certainly rocks, though at 66 minutes it is bloody long. 5 of the songs are 6 minutes long while another 4 are at the 5 minute mark. It also drags a bit near the middle, though not for long. As many are claiming, this is very much a Neal Schon album, not just because there is a definite emphasis on the hard rock side of Journey, but also because I'm sure there is more soloing than what is normally found on a Journey record (the fast section at the end of City of Hope is a good example). It is definitely better than Revelation, even though I think Never Walk Away is one of the greatest songs ever written.

I've never actually been into the 80s rock thing too much apart from bands like Guns N' Roses and Motley Crue, but I like what I've heard of Journey (basically just the hits). Maybe I should pick this up! Especially since I'm guessing Journey's a big inspiration on Steve, one of my keyboard idols

 

[Symphony]

A great start point with Journey is the "Live in Manilla" DVD......with Arnel on vocals.....and also a couple of tracks where Deen takes lead as well, notably "Still they Ride". Deen has to be THE greatest singing drummer ever!!!

Indeed...Journey, Styx, Foreigner, Night Ranger...very much influenced me in terms of introducing me to how catchy and melodic a rock band can be.

Keyboard idol?? Aww....dude, I'm just a humble ivory tinkler But I appreciate the kind words!

 

[1928]

I'll go look up some of that stuff, appreciate the heads-up!

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

Get that on the business cards - Steve Williams, Humble Ivory Tinkler.

some of the songs in the new album sounds like Journey came back to their Prog Rock roots

 

[Nickstervarius]

Such a great album!

Looking forward to getting this for my birthday. Really enjoyed City of Hope and it seems the rest is of the same standard, i'm a sucker for a good Journey song. Separate Ways is epic on surround sound
