Journey - Time3 @FLAC

TIME CUBED contains more than 50 songs, several of them previously unreleased.

Time 3 strings together all their best songs, most of them popular and some not so well known, but all extremely enjoyable and laid out over the course of three discs. Set up chronologically, the first disc unleashes their raw sound, with the first eight songs being pre-Steve Perry. With tracks from Infinity, Evolution, and Departure rounding out disc one, a young Perry sets a musical precedent with his soaring voice.

Disc two is where this set truly shines, containing their biggest hits and covering the most entertaining and fruitful part of Journey's career. Seven of the songs here are from 1981's Escape album. " The first half of the disc finishes off hits from the Departure album, and smoothly rolls into songs from the live Captured.

The third disc starts off with the B-sides and a track from Tron. The best songs from Frontiers and Raised on Radio make up the next ten tracks, and finishes with wonderful live performances. There is an overabundance of material here, all incredibly pleasing.
