This Day in Music History: Journey/Frontiers (02/22)

Even though it spurned out four top 40 singles: "After the Fall" (#23), "Send Her My Love" (#23), "Faithfully" (#12), and "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" (#8), this album was a disappointment to me. The effects of "Open Arms" sent the band on direct course to the Love Song Spiral of Doom©, and basically castrated Neal Schon.

To me, here's the best song on the album:
