EXTD= The third and final album of what could be called Journey's coco
EXTD=on phase (Escape would give birth to a fully formed butterfly and
EXTD= put the band through a different stratosphere), 1980's Departure
EXTD= would also be the quintet's last with keyboardist/vocalist Gregg
EXTD= Rolie. Produced by Geoff Workman and Kevin Elson (essentially bo
EXTD=th engineers turned producers), the album continued to build on t
EXTD=he band's previous two recordings, but offered an added edge, arr
EXTD=angement-wise. This was likely due to the fact that the band had 
EXTD=walked into Automatt Studios with 19 new tunes and proceeded to r
EXTD=ecord most of them live, eventually trimming down to 11 songs. Ca
EXTD=tapulting all the way up to number eight on the Billboard Top 200
EXTD=, Departure was the band's highest charting album to date and got
EXTD= off to an explosive start with the driving riffs and chorused vo
EXTD=cals of "Anyway You Want It" (another radio smash that would char
EXTD=t Top 25). Never sounding tighter, the quintet then launches into
EXTD= "Walks Like a Lady" (another future FM staple, which would climb
EXTD= to number 32) and a string of outstanding rockers, including fut
EXTD=ure concert opener "Where Were You" and the stop-go-stop-go energ
EXTD=y of "Line of Fire." On the other hand, elegant power ballads lik
EXTD=e "Good Morning" and "Stay Awhile" would foreshadow the band's fu
EXTD=ture commercial triumphs on Escape. And even though it packs the 
EXTD=occasional filler like "Someday Soon" and "Homemade Love" (a weak
EXTD= attempt to boogie that falls absolutely flat and, tellingly, was
EXTD= the only Gregg Rolie-sung tune here), Departure is a solid recor
EXTD=d all around. Soon, Rolie would be replaced by the greater pop-sa
EXTD=vvy songwriting muscle of former Babys keyboard man Jonathan Cain
EXTD=e, and Journey would go from huge cult act to monster superstars.

EXTD=ast we get to hear of certain classic rock influences. For sure, 
EXTD=this is a rocking album but with a definite moodiness to it in sp
EXTD=ots.\n"Any Way You Want It" kicks off the album with a bang. With
EXTD= no instrumental intro, Steve Perry starts belting out one of Jou
EXTD=rney's most famous rockers. Then comes the light, catchy "Walk Li
EXTD=ke a Lady", a bluesy number that nicely offsets the opening rocke
EXTD=r. "Someday Soon" is melodic rock bliss, and it includes some of 
EXTD=the last of the great vocals we get to hear from Greg Rolie. Foll
EXTD=owing is a very uniquely moody tune in "People and Places". I don
EXTD='t know what it is about that song, but with the way the differen
EXTD=t members each sing a word one after the other combined with the 
EXTD=haunting (in spots) sound of the keyboard, this one still can sen
EXTD=d shivers up my spine. Very unique track.\n\nThen after more fine
EXTD= melodies on "Precious Time", a few definite rockers kick in. "Wh
EXTD=ere Were You" has an amazingly melodic chorus, "I'm Cryin'" conta
EXTD=ins some of the most amazingly emotive Perry vocals ever, and "Li
EXTD=ne Of Fire" absolutely smokes. From there the tempo and mood slow
EXTD=s up with the short but very nice title track instrumental, which
EXTD= leads into the very pretty, pleasant "Good Morning Girl". "Stay 
EXTD=Awhile" further continues the pretty slowdown in tempo, before "H
EXTD=omemade Love" ends the album by again rocking the house.\n\nI cou
EXTD=ld rave at length about every one of these tracks and how listeni
EXTD=ng to them makes me feel. As much as I love the more popular Jour
EXTD=ney albums that are to follow this one, there is something about 
EXTD=that classic sound that is special. This effort was the third str
EXTD=aight winning effort with Steve Perry at the vocal helm in three

EXTD=rock genre so many people have been trying to bury for the last f
EXTD=ew years just doesn't want to die. Journey may well be the best A
EXTD=merican band in this idiom, which is ironic, because, stylistical
EXTD=ly, they've always seemed to struggle with it, as if hard rock we
EXTD=re a new shirt they had trouble fitting into. For an Aerosmith or
EXTD= a Ted Nugent, no such difficulties existed -- hard rock was thei
EXTD=r only option. But Journey could have gone in any number of music
EXTD=al directions. Founding members Gregg Rolie (keyboards) and Neal 
EXTD=Schon (guitar) came from Santana, Aynsley Dunbar from his own gro
EXTD=ups and Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, and Ross Valory from 
EXTD=the Steve Miller Band.\n\nFor years, Journey appeared torn by con
EXTD=flicting interests that were only temporarily pacified by the har
EXTD=d-rock compromise. The addition of megalomaniac producer Roy Thom
EXTD=as Baker and lead vocalist Steve Perry further confused the issue
EXTD=. Nevertheless, the group slowly managed to improve, making album
EXTD=s that were extremely commercial. Journey reached their recording
EXTD= peak in 1978 with Infinity and then proceeded to burst apart at 
EXTD=the seams. Dunbar left, disgusted by the lack of a clear-cut musi
EXTD=cal direction, while Baker was told in no uncertain terms that hi
EXTD=s time was coming to an end. The band had never liked his product
EXTD=ion, and the last LP they did together, 1979's Evolution, showed 
EXTD=it. Evolution also suffered from the growing pains of adding drum
EXTD=mer Steve Smith to the lineup.\n\nAll of these problems have been
EXTD= resolved on Departure. The most conspicuous absence is that of R
EXTD=oy Thomas Baker, whose meddling isn't missed. Engineer Geoff Work
EXTD=man has been promoted to producer, which places the group's music
EXTD=al direction in its own hands. Not surprisingly, a real leader ha
EXTD=s emerged for the first time in Journey's history: Steve Perry, a
EXTD= fine singer with a penchant for snappy melodic hooks, is current
EXTD=ly calling the shots, writing or cowriting all but one of the son
EXTD=gs and keying the sound around his vocal arrangements. "Any Way Y
EXTD=ou Want It," "Where Were You," "I'm Cryin' " and "People and Plac
EXTD=es" demonstrate the band's new approach. Steve Smith's steady, un
EXTD=spectacular drumming has proved to be an addition by subtraction:
EXTD= goodbye to Aynsley Dunbar's virtuoso technique. In the past, the
EXTD= group's good moments came when Neal Schon and Dunbar took off on
EXTD= extended jams, but now Journey works best as a band. And they've
EXTD= never rocked harder. (RS 319 - Jun 12, 1980)  --  JOHN SWENSON
