Journey (Rock): Deen Castronovo (vocals, drums, percussion); Arnel Pineda (vocals); Neal Schon (guitar, background vocals); Jonathan Cain (keyboards, background vocals); Ross Valory (bass guitar, background vocals).
Despite the lack of a consistent frontman, iconic AOR rockers Journey continue their decades-long career with 2008's REVELATION. This time out, the vocal duties are handled by newcomer Arnel Pineda, whose expansive tenor is perfectly suited to the band's majestic sound. Pineda also lends a new focus to the band, and Journey sounds reenergized, exhibiting a return to classic form.
REVELATION is a two-disc set that features 11 new compositions (penned by group veterans guitarist Neil Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain), and 11 back-catalogue classics re-recorded with the new line-up. Of the new tunes, the upbeat "Never Walk Away," and the power ballad "Like a Sunshower" are standouts, and old-school fans will certainly want to spin disc two, which features some of the band's biggest hits, including "Don't Stop Believin'," "Faithfully," and "Open Arms" with Pineda's impressive pipes at the forefront. Revelation Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Steve Perry Is Forever The BEST
It's Steve Perry that lives on in every album that's released by Journey. His signature voice, still echoes years after his departure. Though the album is great, no one will ever comes close to what Steve Perry can deliver. There's 1 and only Steve Perry.

Two stars for the Old Music...1 Star for the new stuff
This is great. Journey really has now become one of the best tribute bands to date. Ever since Steve Perry could not tour any longer they have since been replacing lead vocalists with a Steve Perry sound-alike ever since. Journey started out with Greg Rollie and added Steve Perry. And then duets with Rollie & Perry. But now they (Journey) have become nothing more than a Tribute band to Steve Perry...Way to go Ross and Neal! You guys really did appreciate Steve Perry's style all this time.

Disc one is of new songs tackled by Journey's new vocalist Arnel Pineda. I was hoping he would be a little more himself, on this disc of new originals, rather than trying to copy the vocal style of Steve Perry. Pineda does own a huge vocal instrument, though, with a wide range. When they go back to the studio, he should show more individuality, and this will come with experience. Unfortunately, he will never be allowed to have any creative input in his new job.
Disc two is one of remakes of Journey's greatest hits. What I liked about Journey's former replacement singer, Steve Augeri, was that he sounded similar to Perry, but his own vocal style was mixed in. Even though Arnel's voice is stronger than Augeri's, he tries too hard to copy Perry's interpretations, especially on "Lights". It was a rip-off of a live Journey video. Frank Sinatra once told Tony Bennett that you can either choose to be the best at being yourself, or you can choose to be a cheap copy of someone else. Arnel needs to be himself from now on. It is time to leave his cover band days behind.
I have not watched the DVD part of the package yet, but saw the live performance from Chili, on the net. His bandmates say that Pineda is their fountain of youth. Well, they better savor it right now, because Arnel Pineda will be a solo artist before long.

 I Just STOPPED Believing
Great marketing trick guys --- make folks feel like they are being unfair to Pineda if they don't buy it, and you get to be disrepectful to Perry at the very same time.
If I've bought 1 Journey album I know I have bought 50. No more new stuff for me... I'm afraid I'm done!

Nothing else better to do than re-record?
How lame is this? This sorry band re-records the songs Steve Perry sang on? Now why would they do that? Instead of creating new material they re-record the hits from the past when those hit songs are still available on CD? Why don't they re-record some the hit songs both Gregg Rolie & Steve Perry both sang on together?

| | Rush Snakes & Arrows Live CDs (2008)
Revelation
$17.79
Since returning from an extended hiatus that began in the late 1990s, Rush have become quite the concert tour documentarians. Previously, the band spaced out their live offerings, making each significantly era-defining. SNAKES & ARROWS LIVE marks a new trend with the Canadian progressive rockers, who have now released three multi-disc live sets in just five years.
Also worth notable mention is the trio's most recent full-length (2007's SNAKES & ARROWS), getting the lion's share of focus and comprising a full third of the set list. Clearly this is a testament to the group's confidence in and enthusiasm for their newest material. As for the other tracks included, Rush dusts off "Circumstances" (from 1978's HEMISPHERES), while curiously excluding any songs from POWER WINDOWS (1985) or PRESTO (1989) on this outing.
Principally staying faithful to original arrangements, the band presents flawless performances, much to the delight of the Dutch crowd in attendance for the two shows represented on LIVE. Forty years ...

Arranger: John Tartaglia.
This classic recording by the sibling of Livingston and James Taylor offers valuable insight for fans of Carole King's landmark album, Tapestry, but Sister Kate is also a great work in its own right. Peter Asher of Peter & Gordon was the guiding hand behind James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, and to have his vision of Carole King's "Where You Lead" and "Home Again" from Tapestry with the musicians who helped King paint her masterpiece is a major treat. (Lou Adler's perspective on these tunes was what helped reshape music in the '70s, and to have another successful producer issuing the same music at the exact moment in time is essential study for Musicology 101.) "Where You Lead" has a totally different flavor from both King's classic album track and Barbara Streisand's hit. Vocally, Kate Taylor isn't Chi Coltrane or Jessi Colter, but she's very musical ...
