There can never be too many categories to read, makes it easier to find what you are looking for, but way too many if you want to classify them on your own.
A bloody brilliant album and a big surprise. I did not think Jim had it in him any more, but he had.

I agree 100% with him! I can't believe I just wrote that.
Survivor - Vital Signs
Journey - Escape
those two are part of the Holy Bible of AOR releases
The holy bible of overrated albums.
Have patience with this one for Gods sake! It is a grower and once you have given it enough spins, you will realize it is up there with the best they have ever done. It took me some spins to appreciate songs like "Invincible", "Energized", "Forever Young" and even "Blind Faith". I rate this album a healthy 92 % !!!
Every song is a masterpiece, one of the best albums ever made. This album took this band to a new level and they were already on a very high level. Any song would be a highlight on any album ever released. It is that good.
