I need to give it a good couple listens, so reserving comment for now, except it doesn't sound like Journey to me.

Doesn't sound like much of anything. Neal noodling with Narada and Cain adding effects ontop of it. Some (on FB and elsewhere) are saying it's a return to the Rolie jam days - but that's just nonsense. Whatever it is, it is def. a misguided choice as a single. Their only real hit since reforming w/out SP was "After All These Years." They should have learned from that and released one of the Freedom ballads.

Curious to hear your thoughts Slucero. Overall, I think it's pretty dire. Makes "Gone Crazy" from Generations sound like Stairway to Heaven. I mean this is a total joke.

I can't believe they released it... the mix is 'effin horrible.. lyrics literally indiscernible... music is an unfocused structure-less mess...
Perry has to be laughing his ass off and simultaneously horrified at what Journey music has come to...

The only thing I can hear coming through is the snare drum. Everything else is just mush. Disappointing beyond measure.

Perry has to be laughing his ass off and simultaneously horrified at what Journey music has come to... I have to agree. When they talked about defiantly getting the reins back from Perry, it wasn't to put out slop like this. And I'm all in favor of their sound evolving or branching out (ex. The Time, Edge of the Moment), but the basics of songwriting are just not here AT ALL. The release just further proves that Neal is mad with power. Can someone give the reins back to Azoff or Ross? I'm only half joking....

Except for the paycheck, I would be running away from it too.
