Title: Too many Lead Vocalists!!
Review: This is a step down from Arrival. That was a true Journey record with a major label backing it up. This one lacks the backing and the band had too much "freedom" to do as they wanted as far as writing and recording. Some of the songs are pretty good like "Faith In The Heartland". Others songs could have been good except someone came up with the worst decision to let each member take a turn at lead vocals. Not just a few lines but ENTIRE songs!!! That is the biggest turn off for a listener. I hate it so much! If Steve would have sang all of the songs on this record I think as a whole it would have come off better. It's just all over the place as it stands now. Maybe they should re-release it with Steve Augeri vocals only, not that they will. If you want a good listen check out Soul Sirkus featuring some intense guitar playing from Neil Schon and great vocals from Jeff Scott Soto. Skip the Generations cd.
