The final frontiers Dec 25, 2009
I consider this album and Escape to be the two finest Journey ever produced in the studio. I believe with these two works they hit their apex. This album and the former provide an array of hits still popular to this day. Why? Because they were great songs. Journey had a sound that by this album and Escape was so recognizable to even a casual listener and so identifiable to them that it was unique. The naysayers of Journey always argue that they were more pop than rock and that that sound I refer to made everything they recorded sound the same. On other albums they had a better chance with that claim. On these two albums those complaints are useless. Frontiers is a body of work produced by Journey that was never equaled by them again.
 Improvement on an Already Excellent Album Sep 04, 2009
Journey's 1983 Frontiers album is one of the band's best, featuring many of their most memorable singles, like "Separate Ways," the quintessential arena rock opener. "Send Her My Love" and "After the Fall" are two extraordinary power ballads on which Steve Perry's vocals and Neal Schon's guitar take center stage. The best track here is "Faithfully," a gorgeous ballad written by Jonathan Cain. Steve Perry's sincere delivery of the lyrics is perfect; the track surpasses even "Open Arms." The second half of the album loses some steam with songs like "Edge of the Blade" and "Back Talk," but guitar-heavy tracks "Troubled Child" and "Frontiers" help take up the slack. The 2006 re-release vastly improves upon the original by including "Only the Young" and "Ask the Lonely," two songs recorded for Frontiers but used for film soundtracks. They rank among the band's best recordings, and it's great to hear them back where they belong. 4 Stars.

A Darker Sounding Journey Apr 06, 2009
Frontiers is my 2nd Favorite album (After Escape) and to me, I always get a dark vibe whenever I listen to it. With my personal favorite Journey song, "Separate Ways" and one of my other favorites "Faithfully" I would've considered this to be my favorite but personally Escape has more songs I like such as "Escape", "Open Arms", "Stone in Love", and the ever-so-popular "Don't Stop Believin'". Tracks such as "Separate Ways", "Edge of Blade", "Back Talk", "Troubled Child", and even the brighter sounding "Send Her My Love" and "Faithfully" all have dark vibes to them. Not all tracks on Frontiers give me a dark vibe, "After The Fall", "Rubicon", and the under-apprieciated "Frontiers" all sound very bright and up beat to me. Also since this is the reissue with bonus tracks, it also contains "Only Solutions", "Only the Young", "Liberty", and "Ask The Lonely" which to me, blows the Escape reissue away. Frontiers peaked at 2 and like it's brother album Escape, it dropped off 4 singles making Frontiers a great follow-up album after Escape. Overall I recommend it.
Best Journey album Apr 03, 2009
If you want the best CD of Journey's music, then this is the one. When this album first came out I played it nonstop. That was back in the vinyl album days.....now so many years later I STILL love this music. These guys were so talented and this CD will show you just how much.

I would give it six stars, but amazon.com won't let me. Jun 05, 2008
Just came across with the remastered "Frontiers," and boy am I impressed. It sounds so much crisper, clearer are stonger here. And the two unreleased songs Liberty and Only Solutions are just hidden gems, plus you've got two more extras: Only the Young and Ask the Lonely in the same package! Are you kiddin' me!
Personally, I've favored Frontiers over fan favorite Escape, but haven't listened to the cd for a long time. Can't stop listening to the remastered version.
