Album Review Crew Episode 54 "Escape"

128 min • 3 juli 2024

On the 54th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, Trixter, Fozzy and Kuarantine's bassist, PJ Farley review the 1981 legendary album by Journey, "Escape."

Escape was Journey's first album with songwriter and keyboardist Jonathan Cain. Journey now featured their classic lineup, with legendary singer Steve Perry on vocals, Neal Schon on guitar, Ross Valory on bass, Steve Smith on drums and the previously mentioned Cain on keyboard who replaced founding member Gregg Rolie.

Escape propelled Journey into superstardom with legendary tracks like, "Don't Stop Believin'", "Who's Crying Now" and the dictionary definition of a power ballad, "Open Arms."

With the help of shows like The Sopranos, Glee and more the songs have been intertwined with pop culture. The album has gone diamond, selling over 10 million copies and the album made it to Number 1 on US Billboard album charts.

The album was produced by Mike Stone and Kevin Elson and is Journey's most successful selling studio album.

As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous 52 albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.

This was the Patreon pick.

So tune in to find out do the guys slow dance to Open Arms or what would happen of David Lee Roth became Journey's singer.
