<p>As far as the Walmart exclusives go, for the most part they are alright. Most of the exclusive releases seem to be from bands that have seen better days although a few like AC-DC are bands still making some serious sales. Works out good for Walmart obviously anyway.</p>

<p>As far as the new stuff being out I can give a little insight as I have been working for Walmart in the electronics area for several years. Basically it just seems to depend on the store and how the music inventory is set up the vendor. My store the CD's are typically set out by the vendor, at least as far as the new releases go. We will at times put out the older titles but a lot of the time its the vendor doing anything else. Basically we are at the mercy of the vendor as to what time he wants to show up... the guy that comes to my store is usually pretty reliable and can generally make it to our store at the least by late morning, specially if there is a big release like with the Gaga album.</p> I'm so glad to hear it's not…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2011-06-05:6060463:Comment:313102011-06-05T13:47:58.389ZRJhog (Admin)http://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JeffHogland

<p>Tantra is one of the worst songs I've ever heard from Journey. Rubbish!</p>

<p>The rest of the album continues to grow on me though...</p>

<p>The more I hear it, the more I like it as well. Actually, there are only two songs right now that I don't like and that is the first two ballads (Tantra, which is gosh awful, and She's A Mystery, which should be much better than it is). How heavy is that instrumental? I say killer heavy, especially Castronovo. </p>

<p>Here are my problems so far. Arnel's accent. Not his voice, that's fine, but his accent is somewhat annoying. Also, I can't hear Schon's guitar as well as I…</p>

Along with BCC I listened to Journey's new one this afternoon and this is their best album since "Frontiers". Period. I think Mr Schon said this was a heavy album, and it actually is. I don't think I've heard this much geetar shredding on a Journey album before. What was kind of cool was the song "Someone", it sounds like a song that could have been on "Infinity", or "Evolution". Definite total thumbs up from me.

I didnt care for the new Journey release unilt the second and thrid listen. Its not great by any stretch, but its not bad and it has cool moments. The songwriting has suffered greatly without Perry there to provide the pop-rock sensibility and catchy hooks. Its really just Schon rockers and Cain ballads. Arrival remains there best post-Steve Perry release ... by a mile.

Maybe take a chance on GaGa...Journey's first 3 songs are fantastic...the rest not so much so. Or better yet, don't get GaGa and buy yourself a nice breakfast.
