Album Rating: 5.0

Sorry, but I totally disagree. From my point of view For the Journey is a true masterpiece. It is even better than the already great March of Progress. There is just one track on this Album (Lost in your memory) which is just an average one, not leaving too much impression on me. The rest of the stuff is simply gorgeous. Both singles Watchtower and Turned to dust are strong tracks but they easily fall behind the epic impression of tracks like especially The Mystery Show and Siren Sky. I do not think Threshold have recorded much better songs in their career. As just no one in here is mentioning this wonderful portion of music I wonder if you have really listened to this album. Autumn Red (what a chorus!), epic The Box and Unforgiven with its great melancholic atmosphere are other outstanding tracks. Earlier Threshold outputs always contained 3-4 great tracks and some average ones in terms of Threshold (that means still good). This release is just overwhelming.

Album Rating: 4.5

If even one track is average, I wouldn't rate the album a 5. And you also mention two songs that are clearly behind others.

Album Rating: 5.0

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I should have rather rated it a 4 or 4.5 at least. For me it is probably the strongest output of Threshold ever but you are right not all of the tracks are on highest possible standard. I think I was a little bit disappointed that a lot of people here bash For the Journey which is not deserved at all. ;)

Album Rating: 3.0

I agree with this review as this album doesn't have too many memorable moments, and I thought March Of Progress was excellent.
