  Journey Back In Time; Honolulu Star Bulletin, 8/9/06
Four albums that are arguably the best of the Perry era have just been reissued and, in some cases, expanded.
As aforementioned, "Escape" is the crown of Journey's studio output, with the band at its re-energized peak and not a duff song to be found.
Of all the Journey albums in this recent batch, "Escape" is the must-have.

Included on this album were the singles "Only the Young" and "Ask the Lonely," both of which were soundtrack themes and had been removed from the Frontiers lineup before that album was released.
This album offered the group's first song ever to be nominated for a grammy award, "When You Love A Woman," and several rockers, "Message Of Love," "Can't Tame the Lion," and "Castles Burning," with the rest of the 14 track album being filled out with ballads and a catchy regae-ish toon.
Journey is very interactive on tour, and offers a lot of new material to the fans, some of which it may release if response is favorable.

 "Journey Escapes To The Top"; Record World, September 5, 1981
For Journey, now in its eighth year as a working band, each new year and new album has brought change  and increasing success.
The most obvious sign of change on "Escape" is the presence of the newest member of Journey, keyboardist/guitarist/songwriter/vocalist Jonathan Cain, formerly of the Babys, Cain replaces charter member Gregg Rolie who has left to pursue a solo career.
In Neal Schon's estimation, "Escape" is "really different - I think this album will appeal to a wider spectrum of fans." Judging by the remarkable reception it's gotten at both the radio and retail levels, that sounds like an understatement.

 Fantastic Journey / What do critics know? The people have spoken, and the verdict is the same as it was 25 years ago: ...
Cain said the follow-up to "Escape," "Frontiers," might have been an even better album, but it was dismantled at the last minute; the superb "Only the Young" and "Ask the Lonely" were removed so they could appear on the "Visionquest" and "Two of a Kind" soundtracks.
Journey’s “Escape” album is quintessential ’80s music at its best and worst — flirtatious in the way it suggests that it is the best thing you’ve ever heard, and representing the nadir in Bay Area rock music (at the time).
Journey is still going strong, with many successful works since, but “Escape” was their most popular album, because almost every cut was a hit on the radio.

 Don't start believin' in reissued Journey album - Scene
Most of the songs on Journey's 1983 album "Frontiers" are the obscure, unknown type that can cause fans to wonder just how Journey had any hits at all.
The album begins on a good pace with "Separate Ways (Open Arms)," a second tier Journey song that is still likable and catchy.
Journey will always be known as a band that liked to use synthesizers, but they are overused here.

My wife also was big time into Journey when she was younger too, and this is an album that we both enjoyed as teenagers long before we knew each other.

 Two Cents : What explains the appeal of Journey's "Escape" album?
Journey represents the absolute nadir of '70s rock: overproduced, insipid pap expressly constructed for and marketed to the lowest possible denominator and appeal to the kind of consumer who bought stone-washed jeans and Pontiac Firebirds.
Journey was my first *rock* concert in 8th grade (1979), but that tour was for the Evolution album ("City of the Angels" "Lovin' touchin' Sqeezin'").
I'm not the biggest Journey fan in the whole world by a long shot but "Lights" was (and still is) a song that speaks loudly to true Bay Area natives everywhere much like Tony Bennett's "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" did for several generations earlier and still does today.

This release is not competitive with their previous releases, Escape suppased them by far, with this huge success Journey started a new circle in their career, this is the album that changed their status and gave them the status of Superstars.
Their two next albums, Frontiers and Raised on Radio were their most successful efforts for a strong and brave comeback, but everyone will remember Journey for their romantic ballads from Escape and espesially their biggest hit "Open Arms".

Journey was, without a doubt, the biggest band in the world in 1983; Frontiers was on the top of the charts, they had a huge sell-out worldwide tour, and their previous album, Escape, was one of the best rock albums ever released.
Journey was simply unbeatable in the years 1978 - 1986 for the sheer quality of the music they produced.
Journey ultimately had to turn the tables and fire Perry in the late 1990's after he refused to accept medical treatment for an injury for religious reasons.

 DVD Verdict Review - Journey: Live In Houston 1981: The Escape Tour
In 1980, Journey rode its third release of the Perry era, Departure, to #8 on the album chart, coupled with a highly successful tour.
Typical of album tours, the Escape show is jam-packed with material from the then-current recording, at the expense of superior songs from Journey's earlier repertoire (I especially missed "Feeling That Way" and "Anytime" from Infinity).
Steve Perry, though never the most charismatic front man in rock history (he spends an inordinate amount of time in every number singing with his eyes closed, as though he's forgotten that there are thousands of people in the arena eager to connect with him), possessed a pure, soaring voice that few singers could match.

The album topped the charts and sold millions.
When the group got back together to make a new album, Valory and Smith were no longer in the lineup and Raised on Radio (1986) was made by Schon, Perry, and Cain, who added other musicians for a tour.
Arrival, Journey's 11th new studio album, was released in April, followed by a national tour.

The debate rages on, but this has been announced as the final Cosmicity album (of all-new songs, that is (who knows, a best-of cd could still be in the future)).
This is a first as well as a last for Cosmicity, as the album is a concept album, dealing with New Love, confidence and the beginning of the journey of life together, with a twist of sci-fi thrown in for flavor.
The limited edition (not sure how limited it is, exactly) of this album comes with a bonus remix/b-sides disc, including remixers that are somewhat more well known as well as some lesser known names.

Grade: A- Escape was the name of Journey's hugely successful album from 1981, and the perfect verb for the type of mainstream rock offered up by a band running at peak performance.
Journey was going through a time of transition as original keyboardist Gregg Rolie left the band and was replaced by Jonathan Cain (formerly of The Babys) who, along with lead vocalist Steve Perry and guitarist Neal Schon formed the songwriting nucleus of the group.
"Who's Crying Now" was the first single from the album to hit the airwaves in the summer of 1981, and it exemplified Cain's more prominent keyboard playing, and showcased a prolonged Schon guitar solo at its close.
