After reading reviews of a couple of concerts I had doubts about buying this album, but after reading some of the other reviews here, I decided to take the plunge. All I can say is I'm glad I did. The new tracks on CD1 are of the highest quality, and in my opinion sound better than Journey did back in the late 1970's and early 80's. Arnel Pineda voice may not have the bluesy feel Steve Perry produce on some of the old tracks, but it still sounds like Journey. As per other Journey albums, you have high tempo comercial rock tracks like Never Walk Away and Change for The Better, but you also have the soft ballads of After All These Years and What I Needed
