Title: Look Into The Future - Classic Journey
Product review: Journey's second album is a much more rock oriented affair, consisting of mostly powerful rockers with the sophisticated edge of true musicians. Greg Rollie's vocals are still very much in the realm of early Santana, very hypnotic while his keyboard playing has grown by leaps and bounds. Neal Schon's guitar playing has more bite, but his runs are more fulfilling. I can't say enough Aynsley Dunbar's incredible drumming on all three of the early Journey albums, but this one in particular contains some of his most ferocious battery. Ross Vallery holds the fort with his strong, confident bass playing. Songs like "Look Into The Future" and the one-two punch of "Midnight Dreamer" and "I'm Gonna Leave You" take the listener through several phases before relenting, which is something they lost when Steve perry joined. This is progressive rock at its finest and should be heard by a wider audience.
