About this album
Escape (sometimes written E5C4P3) is Journey’s seventh studio album (and eighth overall), released in July 1981.
Escape was the band’s first album with keyboardist Jonathan Cain who replaced founding keyboardist Gregg Rolie after he left the band at the end of 1980. The album was co-produced by Kevin Elson and one-time Queen engineer Mike Stone, who also engineered the album.
With four hit singles out of “Don’t Stop Believin’”#9, “Who’s Crying Now”#4, “Still They Ride”#19 and “Open Arms”#2 plus rock radio staples like “Stone in Love”, “Mother, Father”, and the album’s title cut, Escape became Journey’s biggest selling album yet, and remains one of their most popular and best-reviewed works to date.
The album has been certified 9x Platinum by RIAA since its July 31, 1981 release* (11/14/94; only Greatest Hits, at 15x, has sold more copies).
* Highest chart position: #1 on the Billboard album chart where it stayed for a week dethroning Stevie Nicks’ Bella Donna from #1 in September 1981.
An Atari 2600 game, Journey Escape, was made based on the album.

The album title and artwork follow some sort of a pattern. In Feb. 1981, Journey's live album, "Captured", was released. 5 months later, their seventh studio album, "Escape", was released. The beetle was captured, then it escaped.

So many fillers. I dislike this album, even though I enjoy Journey hit songs. Don't Stop Believin, Who's Crying Now and Open Arms are gems. Escape, Stone In Love and Still They Ride aren't bad though. But for the rest of them D: This is the first album I ever disliked. At least I enjoy some bits of them and they definitely get a spin now and then. I recommend people to get compilations(by Journey)instead.
