Another reissue,but the definitive "Frontiers", April 6, 2007
By B. J O'Connor "noonions" (Holmdel,NJ USA)
"Frontiers" was Journey's follow-up monster 1981 smash "Escape" and proved to be just as commerically successful,peaking at #2(held back only by Michael Jackson's Thriller)and spawning four Top 40 hits, including "Seperate Ways(Worlds Apart)","Faithfully","After The Fall" and "Send Her My Love".The album is just as good,if not better,than its predeccesor,containing other standouts(besides the hits) like "Chain Reaction","Edge Of A Blade" and "Rubicon".The only poor song on this album is the grating "Back Talk".Luckly,this 2006 reissue contains four bonus tracks that strenghten this effort much more by including "Only The Young"(a top 10 hit from the "Vision Quest" soundtrack in 1985),"Ask The Lonely"(which was featured on the "Two Of A Kind" soundtrack in 1983)"Only Solutions"(featured on the 1982 "Tron" soundtrack)and the short but outstanding "Liberty".The remastered sound(by Dave Donnelly,NOT Dave Collins as one reviewer said)is a vast improvement over the previous CD editions,making Steve Perry's vocals,Neal Schon's guitar and Jonathan Cain's keyboard's sounding more powerful and clearer than ever before.It also includes a cool booklet containing photos and tour dates from the "Frontiers" era.Essential for any Journey fan or 80's pop/rock lovers!

Journey's classic follow up to Escape gets remastered treatment, AGAIN, this time with bonuses, April 1, 2007
By Terrence Reardon "The Pink Panther of classic... (Florida)
Journey's ninth album entitle Frontiers was released in February of 1983.
Frontiers was Journey's follow-up to their 1981 mammoth selling Escape and was another great album which rivals its predecessor as best Journey album of the Perry/Cain/Schon/Smith/Valory era.
Before Frontiers was recorded, the band worked on songs for the soundtrack for the film Tron. Also keyboard player Jonathan Cain produced a solo album for his then wife Tane Cain, guitarist Neal Schon did an album with jazz fusion keyboard player Jan Hammer called Here to Stay which had a minor hit with No More Lies (which Journey would play regularly on the Frontiers tour), drummer Steve Smith started a family with his wife as son Ian was born and also created Vital Information (a jazz-rock fusion band), bass player Ross Valory did his thing and lead singer Steve Perry was guest appearing with people like Kenny Loggins on Loggins' album High Adventure on the hit "Don't Fight It" and on the Hammer/Schon album and started work on his solo debut which would come out in the spring of 1984.
Then, the band went in the studio with Mike Stone and Kevin Elson producing again and recorded another Journey classic.
"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" is a great opening rocker which had a great keyboard riff from Cain and Perry's lyrics being superb.
Next is the Top 20 ballad "Send Her My Love" which is a great song and a nice ballad. The classic hard rocker "Chain Reaction" is next and was the only Schon/Perry/Cain collaboration on the first half as the rest of the tracks were Cain/Perry (except as noted). Neal's sure-fire riff and counter-vocal to Perry on this track are superb. "After The Fall" follows and is an amazing melodic anthem. The track was included in the Tom Cruise movie Risky Business and is a great song. The all-time classic life on the road ballad "Faithfully" ends the first half on a majestic note. Cain wrote this track himself and is a great song.
Side two of the album kicks off with the rocker "Edge Of The Blade" (penned by Cain/Schon/Perry) and has a strong guitar riff and searing rock vocals from Perry. The melodic "Troubled Child" is next and is a great song. Then comes the punk laced "Back Talk" penned by Cain, Perry and drummer Steve Smith whom played a killer drum pattern to a classic Cain guitar riff. Perry on this track is actually screaming with rage. The off-beat but classic title track follows and is a great number. We end the album with the majestic rocker "Rubicon" which was a great way to finish the album.
Frontiers succeeded artistically and commercially as it hit #2 in the spring of 1983 (no one except The Police could topple Michael Jackson's Thriller) and sold 7 or so million copies in the US alone to date.
In 2006, the album was re-released as a new remaster (this time remastered by Dave Collins whereas the 1996 remaster was by George Marino) and sounds amazing and contains FOUR bonus tracks all of which were held off of the original album. Two of the tracks held off the album which were the Top 10 hit "Only the Young" from Vision Quest and "Ask the Lonely" from the Olivia Newton-John/John Travolta flop Two Of a Kind were dropped from the original album in favor of "Troubled Child" and "Back Talk". Now, for those who don't want to buy a compilation to get these two tracks can get them finally on a proper Journey album. Then "Liberty" is next and we close with the track "Only Solutions" which came from the soundtrack to Tron.
Recommended!
