Journey
Revelation
(Nomota LLC)
In the music world, being in a band is like being married, and guitarist Neil Schon is as committed as they come. No, he didn’t beg Steve Perry to come back, but he searched high and low until he found Arnel Pineda (the frontman of a Filipino cover band that performed everything classic rock from Aerosmith to Led Zeppelin) on YouTube singing, with a voice eerily similar to Perry’s—you guessed it—Journey songs. (Yes, the story blows my mind, too.) In addition to re-recorded old classics like “Wheel in the Sky,” Revelations contains a set of new tracks that actually live up to the old ones (my favourite being the power ballad “After All These Years” which could have easily been on Escape or Frontiers). Although the new tracks are all written by Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain, Pineda belts them out as if he wrote them himself. He might very well be the soul Journey has been missing for the past two decades.
