Frontiers, Journey's eighth album, was released in February of 1983 on the Columbia Records label. The album would garner four top 40 singles: "After the Fall" (#23), "Send Her My Love" (#23), "Faithfully" (#12), and "Separate Ways" (#8). Arguably the album would have been an even bigger success had in not been for a the last minute decision by Michael Dilbeck, the band’s longtime A & R man, to switch two tracks; he put “Back Talk” and “Troubled Child” in, and took out “Ask the Lonely” and Only the Young.” Jonathan Cain had more input on this album; not only did he once again help co-write all the tracks, he was the main pen behind "Faithfully", and there is more emphasis on keyboards.
Highest chart position: #2
