Soda, I read this and I had to laugh. My first thought was that it didn't take balls for them to include Journey of the Sorcerer on the album, it took drugs. I don't think it was any secret that Don and Glenn weren't exactly thrilled with Bernie's contributions on this album. I'd say that they were reluctant at best to include these songs. Speaking for myself, I like the song, but it is my least favorite on the album.
As far as Visions, I rather like it. It's not one I absolutely love, but it has some guitar work. I actually like Felder's vocals in the verses better than the harmonies in the chorus.
