EXTD= REVIEW: Frontiers managed to give Journey four Top 40 hits, with
EXTD= "After the Fall" and "Send Her My Love" both reaching number 23,
EXTD= "Faithfully" at number 12, and "Separate Ways" peaking at number
EXTD= eight -- the same amount that 1981's Escape brandished. While th
EXTD=ey tried to use the same musical recipe as Escape, Frontiers come
EXTD=s up a little short, mainly because the keyboards seem to overtak
EXTD=e both Neal Schon's guitar playing and Steve Perry's strong singi
EXTD=ng. An overabundance of Jonathan Cain's synth work cloaks the qui
EXTD=cker tunes and seeps into the ballads, slightly widening the stro
EXTD=ng partnership of Perry and Schon. "Faithfully" tried to match th
EXTD=e powerful beauty of "Open Arms," and while it's a gorgeous balla
EXTD=d, it just comes inches away from conjuring up the same soft magi
EXTD=c. "Separate Ways" grabs attention right off the bat with stingin
EXTD=g synthesizer and a catchy guitar riff, and "Send Her My Love" em
EXTD=phasizes Perry's keen ability to pour his heart out. The rest of 
EXTD=the songs on the album lack the warmth that Journey is famous for
EXTD=, especially in their mix of fervor and intimacy shown on this al
EXTD=bum's predecessor. [The 2006 reissue of Frontiers has four bonus 
EXTD=tracks: "Only the Young" from the Vision Quest soundtrack, "Ask t
EXTD=he Lonely" from the Two of a Kind soundtrack, "Only Solutions" fr
EXTD=om the soundtrack to Tron, and "Liberty," a rare song that first 
EXTD=surfaced on the Time 3 box set.]  -- Mike DeGagne\n\n\nAMAZON.COM

EXTD= April 6, 2007\nReviewer: B. J O'Connor "noonions" (Holmdel,NJ US
EXTD=A)\n"Frontiers" was Journey's follow-up monster 1981 smash "Escap
EXTD=e" and proved to be just as commerically successful, peaking at #
EXTD=2 (held back only by Michael Jackson's Thriller) and spawning fou
EXTD=r Top 40 hits including "Seperate Ways (Worlds Apart)", "Faithful
EXTD=ly", "After The Fall" and "Send Her My Love".  The album is just 
EXTD=as good, if not better, than its predeccesor  -- containing other
EXTD= standouts (besides the hits) like "Chain Reaction", "Edge Of A B
EXTD=lade" and "Rubicon".  The only poor song on this album is the gra
EXTD=ting "Back Talk".  Luckly, this 2006 reissue contains four bonus 
EXTD=tracks that strenghten this effort much more by including "Only T
EXTD=he Young" (a top 10 hit from the "Vision Quest" soundtrack in 198
EXTD=5),  "Ask The Lonely" (which was featured on the "Two Of A Kind" 
EXTD=soundtrack in 1983)  "Only Solutions" (featured on the 1982 "Tron
EXTD=" soundtrack) and the short but outstanding "Liberty".  The remas
EXTD=tered sound (by Dave Donnelly NOT Dave Collins as one reviewer sa
EXTD=id) is a vast improvement over the previous CD editions -- making
EXTD= Steve Perry's vocals, Neal Schon's guitar and Jonathan Cain's ke
EXTD=yboard's sound more powerful and clearer than ever before.  It al
EXTD=so includes a cool booklet containing photos and tour dates from 
EXTD=the "Frontiers" era.  Essential for any Journey fan or 80's pop/r

EXTD=Next is the Top 20 ballad "Send Her My Love" which is a great son
EXTD=g and a nice ballad. \n\nThe classic hard rocker "Chain Reaction"
EXTD= is next and was the only Schon/Perry/Cain collaboration on the f
EXTD=irst half as the rest of the tracks were Cain/Perry (except as no
EXTD=ted). Neal's sure-fire riff and counter-vocal to Perry on this tr
EXTD=ack are superb. "After The Fall" follows and is an amazing melodi
EXTD=c anthem. The track was included in the Tom Cruise movie Risky Bu
EXTD=siness and is a great song. The all-time classic life on the road
EXTD= ballad "Faithfully" ends the first half on a majestic note. Cain
EXTD= wrote this track himself and is a great song. \n\nSide two of th
EXTD=e album kicks off with the rocker "Edge Of The Blade" (penned by 
EXTD=Cain/Schon/Perry) and has a strong guitar riff and searing rock v
EXTD=ocals from Perry. The melodic "Troubled Child" is next and is a g
EXTD=reat song. Then comes the punk laced "Back Talk" penned by Cain, 
EXTD=Perry and drummer Steve Smith whom played a killer drum pattern t
EXTD=o a classic Cain guitar riff. Perry on this track is actually scr
EXTD=eaming with rage. The off-beat but classic title track follows an
EXTD=d is a great number. We end the album with the majestic rocker "R
EXTD=ubicon" which was a great way to finish the album. \n\nFrontiers 
EXTD=succeeded artistically and commercially as it hit #2 in the sprin
EXTD=g of 1983 (no one except The Police could topple Michael Jackson'
EXTD=s Thriller) and sold 7 or so million copies in the US alone to da
EXTD=te. \n\nIn 2006, the album was re-released as a new remaster (thi
EXTD=s time remastered by Dave Collins whereas the 1996 remaster was b
EXTD=y George Marino) and sounds amazing and contains FOUR bonus track
EXTD=s all of which were held off of the original album. Two of the tr
EXTD=acks held off the album which were the Top 10 hit "Only the Young
EXTD=" from Vision Quest and "Ask the Lonely" from the Olivia Newton-J
EXTD=ohn/John Travolta flop Two Of a Kind were dropped from the origin

EXTD=hose who don't want to buy a compilation to get these two tracks 
EXTD=can get them finally on a proper Journey album. Then "Liberty" is
EXTD= next and we close with the track "Only Solutions" which came fro

EXTD=Could Have Been A 5 Star Album, August 7, 2006\nReviewer: Jim Kel
EXTD=sey\nJourney's "Frontiers" album, released in 1982, stands as one
EXTD= of the band's best. The album spawned four hits ("Separate Ways,
EXTD=" "Send Her My Love," "After the Fall", and "Faithfully") and a v
EXTD=ideo game. The synths definitely dominated on this album (who can
EXTD= forget the opening to "Separate Ways?"); yet, despite this, the 
EXTD=guitars were more rhythmic and distorted, creating a much harder 
EXTD=sound than their previous "Escape" album. Neil Schon's still gets
EXTD= to do his incredible solo work and drummer Steve Smith clearly s
EXTD=hows off his talent in "Rubicon" and "Frontiers." \n\nWhere the a
EXTD=lbum falls short were the two tracks pulled from it, only to be i
EXTD=ncluded on movie soundtracks. These two tracks were "Only the You
EXTD=ng," which wound up on the "Vision Quest" soundtrack and peaked a
EXTD=t #9 on the Billboard Charts. The other was "Ask the Lonely," a p
EXTD=henomenal tune that was used for the movie "Two of a Kind." It re
EXTD=ceived a fair amount of airplay, but never charted. It is the rev
EXTD=iewers opinion that these two should have superceded "Troubled Ch
EXTD=ild" and "Back Talk," neither of which contributed much to the al
EXTD=bum. Where can you get these tunes? On their "Greatest Hits" albu
EXTD=m, which also includes 3/4 hits off of "Frontiers." \n\n"Frontier
EXTD=s" is a great album and one that should be included in any Journe
EXTD=y fan's collection. Happy buying! \n\n****UPDATE**** \n\nThe 2006
EXTD= remaster contains four bonus tracks: "Only the Young," "Ask the 
EXTD=Lonely," "Only Solutions," and "Liberty." This is the one to buy!

EXTD=o something like "Edge of the Blade" or "Back Talk", it's hard to
EXTD= imagine that it's the same band that made "Open Arms" from the p

EXTD=ng out the ability of the band (that has always been accused of m
EXTD=aking "corporate rock") to actually put out such various styles o

EXTD=in both sound and subject matter and featured more vocal harmonie

EXTD=cial time for Styx and Journey, and they know it. Although their 
EXTD=combination of smooth pop melodicism and hard-rock muscle has ear
EXTD=ned these bands a large following over the past five years, the e
EXTD=ver-widening audience for such polished post-New Wavers as Men at
EXTD= Work, the Police and A Flock of Seagulls seems to indicate that 
EXTD=Styx and Journey are up against stiff competition. As a result, t
EXTD=he two groups are in the unenviable position of having to choose 
EXTD=between soldiering on as before and risk ending up as dinosaurs, 
EXTD=or attempting a change of direction that could cost them a sizabl
EXTD=e chunk of their audience. And no matter what, the surest failure
EXTD= of all would be the appearance of complacency.\n\nBoth Kilroy Wa
EXTD=s Here and Frontiers do at least lend the impression that these t
EXTD=wo groups are taking giant steps of some sort. The problem is tha
EXTD=t neither group seems sure of where those steps are heading.\n\nS
EXTD=tyx, for example, has decided to further the dramatic aspect of i
EXTD=ts work, a direction that first cropped up on their last album, P
EXTD=aradise Theatre. That record boasted a central concept but relati
EXTD=vely little plot; Kilroy, on the other hand, has so much plot tha
EXTD=t Styx put together an eleven-minute video dramatization as a pre
EXTD=face for its concert appearances. But despite the project's obvio
EXTD=us ambition, it comes off as both simple-minded and trite.\n\nSet
EXTD= in an imaginary future, the story centers on the struggle betwee
EXTD=n repressive authority and rock rebellion. Representing the force
EXTD=s of evil is Dr. Everett Righteous, the head of the Majority for 
EXTD=Musical Morality and the architect of a ban on rock & roll. The g
EXTD=ood guys are Jonathan Chance, "the rebel leader of an underground
EXTD= movement to bring back rock & roll," and Robert Orin Charles Kil
EXTD=roy (ROCK --get it?), a jailed rocker who escapes from prison by 
EXTD=disguising himself as one of the robot guards. The synopsis insid
EXTD=e the album package doesn't tell how this melodrama resolves, but
EXTD= it's not too hard to guess. Having rock & roll triumph over outr
EXTD=ageous persecution is one of the oldest hack plots, and as always
EXTD=, there's no drama in this situation, just self-flattery.\n\nBeyo
EXTD=nd the obvious ego inflation, though, Kilroy Was Here is a useful
EXTD= tactic for Styx. Its us-against-them dramatic mechanism carries 
EXTD=the underlying message that Styx is rock & roll, a bit of psychol
EXTD=ogical reinforcement that couldn't hurt in shoring up the band's 
EXTD=following at a difficult time.\n\nAlthough this dramatic overview
EXTD= may do wonders for the group's image, it poses some problems mus
EXTD=ically. Styx has always gone in for a somewhat showy sound, and K
EXTD=ilroy Was Here finds their writing at its Broadway best; unfortun
EXTD=ately, while the melodies carry the all-purpose sparkle of a stag
EXTD=e musical, the songs lack the sort of unity expected of a genuine
EXTD= theatrical production. Dennis De Young's "Mr. Roboto" is easily 
EXTD=the catchiest tune on the album, but given the nature of its lyri
EXTD=cs, it's hard to imagine anyone unfamiliar with the overriding co
EXTD=ncept making sense of it. His "Don't Let It End" seems unable to 
EXTD=decide between sticking to the plot or filling the album's need f
EXTD=or a good love song, and ends up an unsatisfying muddle. Tommy Sh
EXTD=aw's "Just Get through This Night," clearly the album's best ball
EXTD=ad, is plagued by a similar inability to make sense either as par
EXTD=t of the drama or on its own. Only James Young's "Heavy Metal Poi
EXTD=soning" manages to work both ways, but between the band's uninspi
EXTD=red playing and Young's cartoonish delivery, even that fizzles. B
EXTD=y going after the best of two worlds--drama and music--Styx winds
EXTD= up with little of value from either.\n\nIt's hard to say what Jo
EXTD=urney is up to on Frontiers. With several of the group's members 
EXTD=complaining to the press last year about how success had locked J
EXTD=ourney into formula music, it seemed as if the band was signaling
EXTD= a shift to a less overtly commercial, more musically demanding s
EXTD=ound. But as much as the sound on Frontiers has shifted, it's har
EXTD=d to believe that Journey thought there was any risk involved. In
EXTD=deed, in some ways this is the band's most conservative effort ye
EXTD=t.\n\nAnyone who heard Here to Stay -- the second album by Journe
EXTD=y guitarist Neal Schon and former Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboardis
EXTD=t Jan Hammer, which was released shortly before Frontiers -- coul
EXTD=d have anticipated the "new" Journey sound. Whereas the duo's fir
EXTD=st collaboration, Untold Passion, served as a busman's holiday fo
EXTD=r Schon, giving him a chance to stretch out in a freer, jazz-orie
EXTD=nted format. Here to Stay is obviously sales conscious. Although 
EXTD="Turnaround" and "(You Think You're) So Hot" employ some admirabl
EXTD=y complex riffs (though all are in dependable 4/4 time), "No More
EXTD= Lies" and "Long Time" are typical FM rockers, and "Self Defense"
EXTD= is essentially Journey with Hammer sitting in.\n\nFrontiers take
EXTD=s care to maintain an equally high level of musicianship, but tho
EXTD=se interested in that aspect of the band's music will learn littl
EXTD=e beyond how smart guys play heavy metal. Despite the band's musi
EXTD=cal ingenuity and undeniable chops, the aesthetic at work here ne
EXTD=ver goes any farther afield than basic stomp and crunch. There ar
EXTD=e some interesting touches, such as the clever modal harmony in "
EXTD=Chain Reaction" and the zippy power-guitar figure behind "Edge of
EXTD= the Blade." On the whole, though, Foreigner did a better job of 
EXTD=stretching the limits of heavy-rock formalism with Head Games -- 
EXTD=and with fewer debts to other acts. The most energetic workout he
EXTD=re, "Back Talk," is strongly reminiscent of Van Halen's "Everybod
EXTD=y Wants Some," while the album's best ballad, "Faithfully," sound
EXTD=s more like a Bob Seger tune than one belonging to Journey.\n\nIn
EXTD= the end, the best that any of these albums can do is buy some ti
EXTD=me for these groups, for neither Styx nor Journey can afford cont
EXTD=inuing as before. Whether or not they can manage a transition tha
EXTD=t will maintain their commercial vitality remains to be seen. Jud
EXTD=ging from these albums, I wouldn't hold my breath. (RS 393 -- Apr
