Extended Play Lounge - Episode 18 (Poll)
Added 2022-04-09 04:18:32 +0000 UTCThis one is a 'semi' Doug's choice. I'm due for one...where I elevate a selection from the list because of personal interest. This time, I'm stumped.
The Neal Morse Band (The Similitude of a Dream) has come in 2nd place in the last two polls. And, I'm interested in hearing this album.
But, I'm attending the Transatlantic concert on Saturday the 16th, where they'll be playing their latest album, The Absolute Universe.
So, I leave it to y'all to decide. Once I do one of these, I likely won't get back around to music in this series by Neal Morse for a few months. And, I should say that, if NMB wins, I'll likely still listen to the Transatlantic album before the concert. Vote for the one you'd rather see in the video.
The poll will run through Tuesday, April 12. Happy voting!

2022-04-26 00:53:35 +0000 UTCI don’t think that The Absolute Universe is up to par with Transatlantic’s previous stuff. Similitude of a Dream is way better.

2022-04-15 06:05:07 +0000 UTCSimilitude of a Dream is one of my favourite albums. I can't wait to hear your reaction.

2022-04-12 22:41:37 +0000 UTCFor those of you who have avoided Neal's material or this album because you're not a fan of the Christian and gospel elements of his other material, this message is for you... This album isn't really very gospel or preachy at all. It's more about a spiritual journey of a person, which many bands have done albums just like this regardless of their religious backgrounds. The situations the character finds himself in in this album is something that *everyone* in life can relate to, this is not a Christian themed album as many may believe at face value. But it is, rather, a spiritual journey. You'd be doing yourself justice to give this album a fair shot if that was your prior reasoning.

2022-04-12 22:30:35 +0000 UTCAs much as I love Transatlantic, this not the right album to start with. Voted for TNMB

2022-04-11 17:07:10 +0000 UTCI've never heard Neal Morse so I'll be curious. I would also like to throw in the ring for the future. Peter Gabriel's, Passion. The score for Last Temptation of Christ.

2022-04-11 02:01:25 +0000 UTCOnly two bands to choose from and never heard of either. You tubed them and they see to sound like two or three other bands, nothing new. I will not be voting this time round.
