Arrival (Journey album)

Arrival is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Journey, released in 1975. It marks a significant shift in the band's sound towards a more commercially accessible rock style, while still retaining elements of their earlier progressive rock influences. This album followed a period of lineup changes and experimentation within the band.

Arrival features Gregg Rolie on keyboards and lead vocals (alongside Neal Schon on guitars), highlighting their instrumental prowess and expanding vocal dynamics. It includes tracks that showcase Journey's growing ability to blend complex arrangements with catchy melodies. While Arrival did not achieve the massive commercial success of their later albums, it played a crucial role in bridging the gap between Journey's early progressive sound and the arena rock anthems that would define their career. It’s often considered a pivotal album in understanding Journey's evolution.
