Description
Journey’s “Departure” is the band’s sixth studio album, released on February 29, 1980. The album was produced by Geoff Workman and Kevin Elson, and features a total of nine tracks.
Some of the notable songs from the album include “Any Way You Want It,” which became one of the band’s most popular songs and a live staple, and “Walks Like a Lady,” which also received significant radio airplay.
“Departure” marked a shift in Journey’s sound towards a more hard rock-oriented style compared to their earlier, more progressive rock-influenced work. This change in direction proved successful, as the album reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified platinum in the United States.
Overall, “Departure” is considered one of Journey’s classic albums and is often cited as one of their best releases. It features the powerful vocals of Steve Perry and the signature guitar work of Neal Schon, both of whom were key members of the band at the time.
