It seemed like nothing could stop Journey when it kept its string of multi-million selling blockbuster albums intact with the release of 1983's FRONTIERS. The band also successfully made the transition to the MTV era with this release, benefiting from the new station's constant airing of its (inadvertently) hilarious video for "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)."
Also included here are two more hit ballads that showcase vocalist Steve Perry's immense talents: "Faithfully" and "Send Her My Love," as well as the often-overlooked rockers "Chain Reaction" and "Rubicon." This would prove to be the last Journey release with its classic Perry-Schon-Cain-Smith-Valory line-up for 13 years.
Tracklist
Journey
When one thinks of the archetypal power-ballad powerhouse Journey, it's hard not to automatically picture an arena full of fans hoisting cigarette lighters. While singer Steve Perry's voice was custom-made for Journey's heartbreaking love songs, guitarist Neal Schon had the hard rock chops to fire up their numerous melodic anthems, the combination making them one of the biggest bands of the 1980s. They started out as a prog-rock/fusion-oriented offshoot of Santana, but didn't break through until Perry was brought in to front the band in the late '70s. Nevertheless, after Perry's departure, the band eventually reunited and carried on with Perry soundalike Steve Augeri, playing for thousands of enraptured fans and recording new material.
