Journey's Greatest Hits

Love this album! All the great songs. Listened to it as soon as we got it. Definitely love this album.

Despite being frequently bashed and labeled as ''corporate rock'' Journey remains one of the most popular and recognizable bands of all time. They have sold countless albums and made songs that have stood the test of time, better then those of a lot of their more respectable peers. This greatest hits compilation is a testament to just how timeless the bands music really is.Even now as I write this review it is a best seller here on Amazon, a title it has held for months now and probably will hold for many more to come. You haters can snarl and grumble about how much you hate Journey all you want but there's no denying that few bands can match the seemingly eternal success of Journey. And that is a much greater indicator of how good a band they are then anything a snotty critic or narrow minded heavy metal fan can say. You may be wondering just what it is that has made songs like Don't Stop Believin and Faithfully relevant even today. Well I think the answer to that is that they speak to something we ALL have regardless of your age or place in life, the soul. Journey doesn't write about politics or drugs or any other controversial subject, instead of trying to garner respect by talking about the worlds problems they let their brilliantly crafted music speak to you. I dare you not to feel the the sense of pain and angst conveyed by Separate Ways or to feel lifted up and inspired by Only The Young, or have your heart warmed by the beautiful and emotional Open Arms. Steve Perry, Neal Schon, and Jonathan Cain are in my opinion great songwriters not because they remind us of things we know about, but because they make us feel things we weren't feeling before and that's a better indicator of good songwriting then copying down the late night news. And what is there to say about the band members themselves? Neal Schon is hands down one of the most underrated and proficient guitarists alive. The keyboard wizard Jonathan Cain can create some of the most beautiful and unforgettable piano melodies in the history of music. And who can forget the voice behind it all? Steve Perry has got to be one of the greatest singers of all time, signing every song with such heartfelt passion that you would think each one was an expression of his own feelings. And there are many more talented musicians that make their contribution to the music presented here, such as longtime bassist Ross Valory and the bands definitive drummer Steve Smith. Rather you are a Journey fan, or even just a fan of good music in general you should most certainly get this Greatest Hits collection from one of the greatest bands of all time. The music contained here is timeless and I have no doubt that if some of these were released today, they would be just as popular, if not more so, then they were when they first hit the air. Don't believe me? get this CD and you won't stop believin the same thing.

JOURNEY with ‘JOURNEY: Greatest Hits’. (1988/2024) I own most of JOURNEY’s individual albums so I never felt the need for this double-LP ‘greatest hits’ set. But when I read that after 36 years since its initial release, STEVE PERRY was going to be directly involved in overseeing the ‘remastering for vinyl from the original stereo flat master tapes’, my curiosity was more than piqued. My original copies of ‘Wheel In The Sky’, ‘Lights’ and ‘Anyway You Want It’ were often overly bright with not the best separation. Glad to report these earlier tracks have now been given more overall space in the remaster creating more clarity and stereo separation. At least to my ears. (Now look friends, I’m no audio expert. I’ve got a degree in BUPKIS in that arena. I’m only reporting what I hear from my menial stereo set-up: Technics 1200 w/ Ortofon Red 2m cartridge, Marantz 2240 receiver and Bowers & Wilkins 602 S3 speakers.) Big monster tunes like ‘Don’t Stop Believin’, ‘Only The Young’, ‘Ask The Lonely’ (the acapella voice break sounds especially great!) and ‘Be Good To Yourself’ are boosted with a perfect amount of tender touch for, again, a little more separation and room to breathe. Overall, I give it an A-. (I found the brand new 180-gram vinyl needed a solid cleaning prior to playing as there did seem to be alot of manufacturing debris within the grooves. But they did come in some sturdy, quality audiophile inner sleeves which was a nice touch!) I was fortunate back in my 80’s high school days to see JOURNEY at their peak on both their ‘Escape’ and ‘Frontiers’ tours at the Hartford Civic Center so I’ll always have a soft spot for them. Nice to revisit the ol’ audio neighborhood! By the way, will we EVER see any kind of Deluxe reissue sets from them??? 🤔 On COLUMBIA LEGACY Records.

I love journey

Greatest album ever. Bought this and a record player for my son. Everyone should own thos album.

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it skipped on one of the songs the very first time I played it, and continues to. But as far as the quality of sound it's great.

GOOD TUNES NEVER DIE. Thank You

I love their music. Snagged tickets to their final tour concert. I had to listen and get caught up on the old songs.

excelente producto

La raccolta contiene i pezzi più conosciuti della band AOR americana, e non solo don't stop believin' (l'unico conosciuto dalla maggioranza delle persone) il loro pezzo intramontabile. Ottimo per chi non conosce la band (o solo una canzone xD) e vuole scoprirne i brani migliori con unn unico cd. Ottimo acquisto per ampliare e migliorare la propria libreria musicale, specialmente in questo ultimo periodo

Ótimo CD do Journey!! Baita coletânea!! O único problema foi a entrega. O produto veio muito pouco embalado. Solto dentro de uma embalagem de papel bolha. Sem estar firme. Chegou com os dentes da caixinha quebrados. Uma pena.

je suis très satisfaite de ma commande le vinyle est arrive très vite ,il était bien protéger et bien emballer je ne suis jamais déçu de mes commande !merci encore
