This two-disc bundle includes both volumes of Journey`s Greatest Hits. The first collection is an excellent, thorough 14-track overview containing all of the band`s big early hits, from 1978`s "Wheel in the Sky" to 1986`s "I`ll Be Alright Without You." Although the songs aren`t presented in chronological order and a handful of minor hits ("Suzanne," "Walks Like a Lady") aren`t included, it doesn`t matter, since every essential Journey single -- "Only the Young," "Don`t Stop Believin`," "Any Way You Want It," "Separate Ways," "Lovin`, Touchin`, Squeezin`," "Open Arms," "Send Her My Love" -- is here, which means that it`s all most casual fans will ever need. Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 collects the singles, album rock hits, and album tracks that didn`t make it onto the first hits disc. This doesn`t leave too many familiar tunes; the charting hits here are "Stone in Love," "Still They Ride," "After the Fall," "The Party`s Over (Hopelessly in Love)," "Suzanne," and "Walks Like a Lady," the first of which is a Journey classic that likely should have been on the first Greatest Hits, but apart from "Still They Ride," the rest are the kind of second-tier singles recognized only by listeners already somewhat dedicated. This says nothing about the quality of the songs -- they are the kinds of tunes that make for a "more of the best" compilation, songs reminiscent of other hits but just not quite as immediate or epic, not as memorable for one reason or another. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
