Album Review

Journey's ninth new studio album found the group reduced to a trio of guitarist Neal Schon, singer Steve Perry, and keyboard player Jonathan Cain. But even without their regular rhythm section, the group was able to re-create the accessible pop/rock sound perfected on earlier albums such as Escape and Frontiers. Schon's guitar still cut through the fat keyboard chords, and Perry's fluid tenor still gave the songs an airy, melodic appeal. All of that was good for sales of two million copies and five chart singles, four of which made the Top 40 and one of which, "Be Good to Yourself," reached the Top Ten. That didn't match the seven-million-selling number one Escape, but it confirmed that Journey's music had a large audience right to the (temporary) end of its career. [Legacy Recordings reissued the album in 2006 with a couple bonus tracks: live video mixes of "Girl Can't Help It" and "I'll Be Alright Without You."]

Customer Reviews

A classic Journey album

While the rumors flew of Steve and Neal not getting along, they were still able to put out a brilliant album. The musicianship is classic Journey, with classic riffs by Schon, and keys by Cain. Of course, Steve Perry brings it, as usual!! The band has such amazing harmonies. Happy to give is such a melodic tune, all these tunes are great for radio play. One of the greatest bands ever!

Overlooked Classic

"Raised on Radio" is one of Journey's best albums, though it has been largely overlooked by fans. It marks a subtle evolution from the harder edged "Frontiers" which is clearly the result of Steve Perry taking more control of the band and his production of this album. The album is replete with fantastic cuts, including "Girl Can't Help It," "Positive Touch," "Suzanne," "Be Good to Yourself," "It Could Have Been You," and the exquisite ballads "I'll Be Alright Without You and "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever." Admittedly there are some tracks which would have fit better on Perry's solo album "Street Talk," specifically "Once You Love Somebody," "Happy to Give" and "The Eyes of a Woman." The title cut, "Raised on Radio," should have been left off the album altogether. This 2006 remaster is a must have for any Journey fan. The sound quality is far superior to that of the originally issued CD. It also includes two great live cuts. I only wish they had included the fantastic instrumentals "With a Tear" and "Into Your Arms" from this era and included on the Time3 box set.

Classic!

Loved this album as a kid, love it even more now as an adult. I agree with a previous review that it is a very underrated album. I think what I like the most is that the group filled gaps of missing musicians with excellent replacements (Randy Jackson-bass and Larry Londin-drums) to make it still sound like the Journey that everyone loved in the 80's. Give it a listen...you'll love it!

During their initial 14 years of existence (1973-1987), Journey altered their musical approach and their personnel extensively while becoming a top touring and recording band. The only constant factor was guitarist Neal Schon (born February 27, 1954), a music prodigy who had been a member of Santana in 1971-1972. The original unit, which was named in a contest on KSAN-FM in San Francisco, featured Schon, bassist Ross Valory, drummer Prairie Prince (replaced by Aynsley Dunbar), and guitarist George...
