This is Journey's Best

"Great rock with heart and soul. This one makes the very short list of music if I could only have 10 albums in my collection. The majority of today's noise that passes for music is disposable and forgettable. A great album is one you can listen to over and over. Great music does not display in-your-face anger, profanity or attitude."

Classic Journey

"This album Evolution is classic on two levels: It represents the rhythm and blues sound of Journey as a followup to Infinity, and for many who enjoy Gregg Rolie's contribution and sound to the band, that is complimented here on all tracks as well. I won't repeat what some of the aforementioned customer reviews have stated about their favorite tracks, Lovin'/Touchin'/Squeezin' and City Of The Angels, which I think are what makes the CD shine, but for me it's the lesser known tracks of Daydream, Sweet And Simple, and Lady Luck that make it a really good CD to own. Steve Perry does his "signature wail" on these tracks, and though the album may not have been as commercially successful as later albums or Infinity, it still stands on its own for taking you back to that time when these songs got heavy radio play. Journey fans can pick and choose which album or "era" of Journey they prefer, but there are a lot of fans young and old who are either just discovering this music or still currently love the sound of this CD as much as they did when it first came out. Journey has brand new younger fans because of this CD (and Infinity) alone. It's most definitely worth the price."
