Album Notes & Community Reviews

Journey achieved absolute global ubiquity with 'Escape', a flawless masterclass in polished, keyboard-driven arena rock. Buoyed by Jonathan Cain's incredibly melodic synthesizer work and Steve Perry's soaring, fiercely passionate vocals, the album delivered a massive sequence of deeply romantic, highly energetic, and undeniably optimistic AOR anthems like 'Don't Stop Believin'.
