Released in 1981. Everybody knows "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms". Side one is more or less the poppy radio side of the album and side 2 is more the rockin' side. Pretty good album overall and definitely a decent listen all the way through. Journey at its peak for sure. Steve Perry's vocals are amazing as always and it almost hurts the record because he kind of takes away from everything else. A good cut to listen to on this album that many people probably never heard is "Stone In Love". I am always looking for hidden concept albums because I am weird (and I have a theory that there are a ton of concept albums out there and people just don't realize that they are, or they were by accident), this one almost works as a concept through the first side and then sharply falls off. I think all of Journey's albums together make a big conceptual piece though. I am getting way to deep on Journey here. Overall a pretty decent record. Pick it up for Steve Perry's killer vocals and Ross Valory's excellent bass riffs.
