In-Depth and Chronological Account of Journey

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

Verified Purchase

This book was written for someone like me. I love biographies about rock bands, especially when they are structured chronologically like this one. Every member of the band and every major song is written about in detail, including how the song charted at its peak. I highly recommend this book.

I was hoping for a little more detail's but, some stuff I guess we will never know. Personally, I don't like the way the book is laid out. I'm reading on page 130, then it say's continue to page 136, I read a paragraph or two, then it's back to page 131. it's easy to forget which page you are or were on, A LOT of flipping back & forth. Seem's like it could have been put together differently. Other then that, it's not a bad read, so far most I've already read, but I'm a huge Journey fan. That's MY only complaint.

As designed, this book has many parallel storylines in order to give a greater understanding of certain times and events. A certain explanation may be repeated but keeps the otherwise massive story together. The depth of detail is exceptional.

highly detailed interesting if you wanted to know the origin from jam band to Smaltzy Perry music

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024

Some of it gels right with Noel Monk's book on Van Halen, particular the Guacamole Crybaby Perry Incident which was actually hilarious.

It also illustrates the surprising drama (behind the scenes of post Santana's III album), painting a total surprising different view of 'Los as opposed to his selfless persona which paints him to be very egotistical and self-serving with mission to take command of a highly successful band which began as a group of equal members.

Compelling account of Journey for fans

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024

Journey: Worlds Apart by Nick DeRiso chronicles the band back before they became an offshoot of Santana. You'll find out who started Journey, how they rose in popularity, and how all the band members fit into the mix. Then it switches gears to when they started struggling to remain on top and keep it together, even after their universally loved lead singer left the band. It untangles the legal web that's been claustrophobically silencing the band, which almost resembles a Western movie shootout where everyone turns against one another.

I will say that Journey is the first rock band I ever loved. The first time I heard Escape at my cousins' house in South Jersey, I instantly was enamored. I still remember traveling back to North Jersey on the New Jersey Turnpike with all the songs replaying in my head. I begged my mom when we returned to take me to a record store or any kind of store that had this album, and it's still a favorite.

For Journey fans, this book provides all the information that you ever needed to know. It's packed with so much information about the band members, their touring life and personal lives, and their recording of many of their seminal albums. It's totally comprehensive to the point that you may grow a little bored. That is not the fault of the author. He does an excellent job of covering everything that's important. The problem is that after Raised on Radio is covered, the book slows down immeasurably, and I had trouble staying interested. Except for when you find out how they hired Arnel Pineda to take over for Steve Perry, the book couldn't keep my interest.

I like the way this book is arranged, though, with quick snippets of information through charts of current record albums, a rundown of who they toured with, who recorded what, and more. If you're not interested in every part of (ahem) Journey's journey, you can page through the book until you get to a section that interests you more.

You get biographies of most Journey members who made an impact. The coverage of Steve Perry really gives you insight into his reasons for leaving and conduct in the band, some of which wasn't favorable. I bet not everyone knows that Randy Jackson from American Idol toured with Journey and has a resume of outstanding talent to boot. I didn't even know that they had a handful of other people to cover the singing. I knew about Arnel because the story is one of fairy tales, but that's the extent. If you ever see the documentary about him, it's compelling.

One thing I never knew about was that the item shown on many of the albums is a scarab. Hearing about how that symbol came to be associated with Journey fascinated me. I'll never look at Escape or any of the other albums in the same way again. Who knew, either, that the alien- or robot-like creature on Frontiers had a name! I almost feel silly for not knowing about the scarab.

My final summation for this book is that it's definitely for fans who will read the entire book. If you're more of a casual fan, it may be easier to pick up the electronic version to skip past sections that may not interest you. Otherwise, it may be too much information to digest because there's so much of it.
