Amazonレビュー The centrepiece of the Paul-is-dead conspiracy theory was that McCartney had died in 1966 and been replaced by a sound-alike augmented with plastic surgery. Journey are hardly the Beatles， and Arrival， the zillion-selling band’s first studio album in nearly five years， puts a fitting twist on the story by hiding its Steve Perry doppelganger in plain sight. New lead singer Steve Augeri has not only the voice， but all its inflections--notably Perry’s trademark ＂wo-oh-oh＂ Sam Cooke homage--down pat. Getting it down pat is what this collection is all about； the opening ＂Higher Place＂ thumps with a rock！ melodrama so familiar it should be titled ＂Separate Ways Part 2＂， while the power ballads that follow recall the pre-Bon Jovi days when Journey ruled as a kind of school disco Air Supply. Arrival is one of those records you already know you love or hate before you hear it， but even fans might feel a lack of heat compared to the Perry-era outfit’s Greatest Hits. --Rickey Wright
