Journey's Revelation
I have the Revelation album with me here in the Philippines, even though it isn't being sold here. I mentioned that my wife would be bringing it with her on her Philippines vacation when I wrote Arnel Pineda's success story and she did.

Written by Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain, two singles were released to radio in April 2008. Both the the distinctively Journey-sounding "Never Walk Away" and the haunting ballad "After All These Years" have received extensive airplay on rock stations throughout the United States. Arnel Pineda is the vocalist.
On May 14, 2008, MelodicRock.com reported that Journey and Frontiers Records agreed to add "an exclusive original bonus track, "Let It Take You Back", a mid-tempo rocker, to the European release of "Revelation" to close the album.
Revelation is the first studio album by Journey with Filipino singer Arnel Pineda as the lead singer. It features 11 new songs ("Faith in the Heartland" was previously recorded with Steve Augeri), 11 re-recorded greatest hits and a DVD featuring the March 8, 2008 concert in Las Vegas, NV.
The album was released in the United States on June 3, 2008, exclusively through Wal-Mart, and in Europe on June 6, 2008 through Frontiers Records. In its first week, Revelation sold over 107,000 copies, marking a 1,400 percent increase over the first week sales of the band's 2005 release of "Generations".
