Escape
1981
Favorite tracks: Don't Stop Believin', Stone In Love, Escape
Sleeper tracks: Keep On Runnin', Lay It Down
"Come on ladies! It's Journey!"
I never owned a physical CD of Journey besides their last greatest hits album. There was enough Journey on the radio to keep me satiated. I'm a fan of the band but never really thought it was important to have a studio album.
Escape is a really good record. It has my favorite Journey song, "Stone In Love". The album has a bunch of killer tunes on it and 9.5 million copies sold isn't something to ignore. The Cain/Perry/Schon trio wrote awesome songs. Ross Valory's bass playing is at its peak on this album. There are a bunch of really, really good hooks in the songs and the guitar parts are pretty tough/cool. It's hard for me to choose this or Frontiers as the best Journey album (I might lean a bit to Escape).
