'''''Look into the Future''''' is the second studio album by [[Journey (band)|Journey]]. It was released in January 1976 by [[Columbia Records]].

For their second album, the members of Journey toned down the overt progressiveness of their first, self-titled release, in favor of a more focused approach.<ref name="allmusic" /> Despite that, ''Look into the Future'' still retains some of the experimental approach and sound of the debut,<ref name="allmusic" /> especially in the title track and "I'm Gonna Leave You". The album also features a cover version of [[The Beatles]]' "[[It's All Too Much]]" from the 1968 ''[[Yellow Submarine (film)|Yellow Submarine]]'' film and 1969 [[Yellow Submarine (album)|soundtrack]]. The title track is the longest recorded Journey song.

Rhythm guitarist [[George Tickner]] left the band after having co-written two songs for this album, leaving members [[Gregg Rolie]] (keyboards/lead vocals), [[Neal Schon]] (guitar), [[Ross Valory]] (bass) and [[Aynsley Dunbar]] (drums).
