"Generations" is an album by the rock band Journey. It was Journey's second full studio album with lead singer Steve Augeri and drummer Deen Castronovo. This is the same line-up as the last two releases, 2001's "Arrival" and 2002's "Red 13" EP. The album was given away for free by the band during most of the concerts of the "Generations tour" in 2005, and subsequently released on Sanctuary Records later the same year.

This was the first Journey album where all of the band members share the lead vocalist duties. Jonathan Cain sings lead on "Every Generation", the first time he sang lead since "All That Really Matters" (a song originally left off "Frontiers") from the "Time³" box set. Deen Castronovo sings lead on "A Better Life" and "Never Too Late". Neal Schon provides lead vocals for "In Self Defense" and Ross Valory lends his vocals to "Gone Crazy".

Highest Chart Position: #170

The latter portion of the song "Faith in the Heartland" was heard during the December 10, 2006 edition of NBC's "Football Night in America", during a segment about Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. The song was re-recorded by the band with new vocalist Arnel Pineda on their 2008 album "Revelation".
