Rush, Pink Floyd, Yes, Dream Theater, Tangerine Dream....Neal Morse Band is my new #1 favorite band on the planet. Can't wait to hear this album!
Don't miss Genesis!
More Dream Theater than the new Dream Theater. Neal's voice sounds great!
I AM ASTONISHED! LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR THE REST OF THE ALBUM!
I see what you did there lol. "Astonished"
I think I'm more than Astonished.
This is beyond Astonishing.
Hahaha yeah !
Just picturing this in Buenos Aires, for my 30th Birthday is going to be one of the most beautiful gifts in the WHOLE world. :'')
Thank you guys! Thank you for not giving up on music and continue composing, recording and playing in a world were music seems to fade away.
Vienen a Buenos Aires chabón? Me estás jodiendo!
CREO que lo decia por el album. Por ahora no vi ninguna fecha en Sudamerica.
de que pelicula es el viejo de la foto?
How old are you now?
@@krioni86sa turning 37 in 3 days!
When Portnoy sits behind a drum kit. It's pure magic.
Oh God Yes! I haven't even clicked play yet, but I know this will be amazing. Thank you Neal Morse Band!
Can confirm.
Good of you Jack to resurface yet again just to listen to the new Neal Morse. Live another day! :)
Stunning!!! Thats why Portnoy is one of the greats!
Funny how in some Neil Morse songs, in some parts, you end up imagine you're listening to a Dream Theater song... By the way, this song is EPIC!
That's just that "prog" thing : same receipe since Genesis, Marillion, Yes, DT, Neal Morse ...
This song is just amazing! After listening to this I can now belive Portnoy when he says this album will be better than Scenes from a Memory.. Can't wait anymore for the whole album!!
Much better than anything Dream Theater has done since about 2003 or so.
A nail in the coffin for The Astonishing :D
Nah...
Keep it in your pants...
Amazing! "I´ve got to go" 1:41 Thank you #TheNealMorseBand #NealMorse #MikePortnoy #RandyGeorge #EricGillete #BillHubauer for this give #TheSimilitudeOfADream
Saw the whole album in concert last night...I was left SPEECHLESS
First time really listening to this side of Neal Morse (I like transatlantic and i've heard some songs of Spock's Beard), this is so freaking epic!
I can't imagine what I've missed. What would be your recommendations for me to listen?
If you really dig this then I recommend Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura. I think it is his best album: it's a concept album about Martin Luther and is mostly devoid of some of the cheesy preachiness that can come across from some of his other albums. If you like that then check out Testimony and One.
mathrocker Woah, Thanks! I've read about Sola Scriptura but never listened to it closely and (of course) Testimony is one of those albums everyone recommends me. Would you say Spock's Beard's "Snow" follows that same line?
Testimony follows Snow pretty closely in song structure.
"I can't imagine what I've missed"... well 8 awesome progalbums ;-)
Tough it all goes further where Neal stopped with SB, it's still quite awesome stuff. My favs are One, ? and Sola Scriptura, though there's nothing really bad (you could say: he did this and that trick already, but hey, he does it awefully good anyway). Lifeline is my least favorite, but even that one is a good prog album. Neal just comes out best on concept albums ;-).
This overture really gets me warm. Can't wait to get my preorderd copy (or to see live next year)
I think a prog rock treatment of PIlgrim's Progress is long, long overdue. If Neal Morse wasn't doing it then I'd have to do it myself. It is the perfect theme for Neal's songs, and of course MIke's drumming makes everything better.
Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy's collaboration is the Lennon & McCartney of my generation.
and Eric and Randy complete the mix. they are ace
Most def
Benjamin McLean Dude!!!! I totally agree, Mike and Neal together have profoundly enhanced My life....
This album is best of decade.
@@MrBenMcLean It was the best of the century so far!
Happy Day!!
This is the best new music I've heard this week.
Alcest as well =)
Neal Morse paint-by-numbers, which is all right by me. Has a strong Sola Scriptura vibe.
Fans of Neal Morse fascinated us!!! And thank God we do not have the musical prejudice Dream Theater in our ears! Excellent song!!! EXCELLENT!!! I love!!!
This just goes to prove the MP was the soul of Dream Theater. Ive been craving this for years.
MP was certainly their vital catalyst
I wonder, does God believe in Neal Morse?
Hahahaha
Whoooo! With this brilliantly inspired music through all these years, I can can think of no other answer than: YES!
Hahahaha
nope. but i heard he said he's a fan.
No, he knows better than to trust any of us. :-)
What did I just hear....they've done it again.
02:33
That melody man...chills and goosebumps
One of the best songs of the year!
If the new album is in the style of the single will surely be one of the best..
I liked it!! the progressive rock isn't dead yet! amazing!
the best neal morse..... out of time , thanks Brothers
It's like the overtures of Snow, Testimony, Question, and the first 9 minutes of Sola scriptura had a baby!
how does one simply make masterpiece after masterpiece after masterpiece! Neal makes music faster than i can listen. Best musicians ever! God bless!
Holyshieeetttt,i just discover this through mike portnoy channel when he show his vinyl collections
This is comparable to DT classics
We need to recapture that magic that music can conjure. It’s just a matter of being present
The Melody pierces deep....
I hope to see you in Brazil!
Awesome...and that drumming Mike Portnoy has to be one of the greatest drummers around :-)
First I did not really get too excited of this album, but after a few and many listens, it managed to climb up as one of my favourite albums all-time! Cool edit!
Incredible song of a great álbum!! I remember seeing this guys playing this entired album in my city was sooo amazing! I miss you guys!
her'es my 2 cents.. 1st off how does he create from scratch a full album every single year since 1994..( i call him a music machine ) flowing flows out of him like water.. i grew up on zep and some prog..but spocks and neal..just changed my whole outlet on what is actually possible...
Then I hope you can appreciate Zappa averaging 3 albums a year.
Hallelujah! To God be the glory!!! ❤
I'm number 500 to enjoy the video! I deserve a prize: Neal Morse Band in Brazil in 2016! Rssss
Hearing some serious references to Sola Scriptura in this. Cool!
Best prog music you will get this year.... It's a good thing you can listen to it every day without getting bored, for the rest of it....!!!
That was a terrific tease! Can't wait for two months for official release.
Wow, I'm already blown away!
Great music. I really hope you still enjoy creating and playing these kind of music for many years to come.
I just scored 2nd row tickets to Neal's Saint Louis show in January. The surprising thing to me is that it's being held in a venue that seats, MAYBE 500 folks.
Magic..... Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Pity Neal's band don't tour in Australia.
Chills! You know Neal Morse prog when you hear it!
chills....
"My life is a Shadow and at Home I'm a stranger"... Always gets me
Bought the concert tickets today for the 2nd of april. See you guys in Tilburg next year!
These dudes straight up obliterated The Astonishing with one song. Can't wait for the whole package.
PORTNOY
Am I the only one who noticed the irony of the album's title? The orchestrations of the track just turns it even more evident...
No "irony" at all... It is a concept album based on :
The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come; Delivered under the Similitude of a Dream is a 1678 Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious English literature,[1][2][3][4] has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print.[5][6]
I find it ironic that so many people misuse use the word "Ironic and irony"
I really enjoy Mike in many bands, DT, Metal allegiance,Neal Morse. Mike is truly Golden God!!
7 minutes made me want to hear the next song, and the next song, and the next song......These guys, they´ve done it again!!!
I can't frikin wait!!!
nice strong introduction/single for us to get into the the album - definitely a buy - not to mention Mike Portnoy has hyped this one pretty high - I don't doubt it will be a Neal Morse Band best
Awesome song, very promising! I definitely hear the Neal and Portnoy souls mixed in here :D
My friend and I got our tickets for the Montreal concert ! It's gonna be #EPIC
Can't wait to see them in Seattle!
This could be only beaten by a new Spocks Beard reunion album! Come on Neal!
Can't wait to see in Glasgow next year !
I Wonder if people finding this similar to DT are just getting into Neal Morse (if so, welcome!). Because this sounds VERY Neal Morse. And awesome. Reminds me of Sola Scriptura. Very hyped!
On my birthday 2 april I'll see them at 013 in Tilburg!! I could not hope for more!
Gilette on the Guitar is just the pure shave!
Sounds soo DT in their best times
that's exactly what I took from it!
I agree and had thought the same.
No, It's not heavy enough for Dream Theater.
But it still has a strong Dream Theater vibe. Reminds me a lot of the first two tracks off Metropolis Pt 2.
Yea, there is a little bit of a MP2 vibe
God can't change.
I was there with my wife, tonight in Dallas, at the Curtain Club! That was a dream come true, first of all, to even get to see you live, and secondly, you were AWESOME!
-Dillon
What What What What What What What. This is just too good, waaaaay too good. Portnoy promised goosebumps, he delivered.
Neal Morse è un genio!!!
what a beautiful song !
This obscure chromatic part which starts at 3:00 reminds me a Lot of the dark melodies DT used in "in the presence of enemies"
thats not chromatic
After I posted the comment I realized too. It's some kind of arpeggio written over the main line/chord progression. In case you know, could you tell me what they are doing there?
i dont gave an instrument at hand at the moment but it sounds like a harmonic minor scale and they are playing in unison over an odd time signature
Wouldn't harmonic minor sound a bit more "arabic". Anyways, I LOOOVE those notes hehe
I just messed around on my guitar a bit for you and this appears to be a Hungarian minor scale, also known as the Egyptian scale. It's like the harmonic minor but with a raised 4th. So in this case they're playing in E♭m, but replacing the A♭ with an A. Essentially they're juggling an E♭m chord and a G♭m/A chord, which sounds great. If you play guitar and want an easy way to replicate this effect, try playing an F♯m chord (244222) followed by an Am/C chord (x32210). This will sound a little higher than the interlude in this song but it's the same effect tonally.
I CANT WAIT FOR THIS SHOW IN NEW YORK! Love your music Neal! Never give up!!!! I listened to you ever since i was like BORN thank you for your amazing music!
I am liking the addition on the newer guitarist on this he metal's it up a little. Very solid chops. From this I think the album has a ton of potential.
It sounds good, great work, but nothing surprising or amazing. I'll be looking forward to the album.
If you know concept albums, you'll know that any track isn't as good alone as it would be in unison with the rest of the album.
These positive but still somehow disappointed reactions were inevitable after Portnoy's massive hype! :D
I think this is top notch stuff, albeit it's got a ton of "morseisms" in structure, melody, sound. Very much looking forward to the album, regardless of any hype!
I didn't buy into Mike's praises to begin with. Those were some fighting words on his part, but while it's nothing new, this still sounds very good.
Fäbian Lelo To be fair, Mike didn't promise that it would be something totally unique, but rather very high quality. :---D
I think Mike is referring to the epicness of the grand scale of this whole concept album, not just to one track.
Wow this is my first taste of this band after recommendation from a friend. I love it. It brings back memories of Genesis whom I loved but even better is they are Christian! It can be hard to find decent Christian music. It's obviously not worship music but a powerful message anyway! Love it😊
Capolavoro!
Great song. Voice, arrangements, all is wonder. Masterpiece.
I'm afraid to say that this album could be better than the astonishing ... oO sounds very f&#! awesome! Looking foreward to the rest! Very nice work guys!
Sounds like Octavarium, this song is awesome song btw
i'm agree with u.
Knowing that half of the band are musical gods... I listened more to the guitar and bass. Excellent talents!!
They all are phenomenal musicians- saw them in Denver last year, up close, unbelievable what they did with "Alive Again"... rotating instruments in about 45 minutes of non stop mastery. Yes, I'm a fan.
Can't wait!
Excellent! See you in Seattle!
Me too buddy!
Are there going to play in Seattle?
Jan 17th at the Triple Door.
Good good job! Incredible!!!
OMG! Absolutely the album of the year!
January 21st Whittier, Ca. Yes!!!!!!!!
Une fois de plus, la magie opère, vivement que l'on puisse en écouter l'ensemble.
Wow, this amazes me. Can't wait for the whole album. [hype intensifies]
The one and only is back, Neal Morse Banda rule the Prog Land.
I can't wait to listen the whole álbum.
Whooww! Fantastic! Congratulations The Neal Morse Band.
the similitude ...with the dream theater
Absolutely spectacular work by Randy George...he really make the song(s) "Prog Epic"
oh yea Nashville here we come
I LOVE the part from 5:10, and especially the theme from 6:26. Can't wait for this album!! You guys say it sounds the same, but I think it seems more fresh with Bill and Eric. Love their style of playing.
And that theme is soooooo reminiscent of Genesis' Stagnation!
I pre-ordered this double CD before I watched this music video. Now that I have watched it I am so glad I pre-ordered it and can't wait till it comes in the mail! Strong emotion and artistic beauty to this piece. I love these longer instrumental sections and I have a feeling this new CD set will have lots of it to enjoy. Like everything from Neal and the team I look forward to the edification I know it will bring to those who listen.
Awesome! no need for more.
LOVE!!
The similitude of a Dream Theater... is just that!
wonderful! cant wait!!!!
*Puts it on repeat all day
Has a "sola scriptura" vibe to it! On repeat!!!!
Also, this is only the OVERTURE... Its meant to outline themes that will be heard throughout the album.. You haven't heard anything yet.. NM never disappoints
i was about to write the same! and yes, NM never disapoints!
I LOVE overtures. And Sola scriptura was the first neal morse album i listened too. i was obsessed with neal after that.
We love it !!!!
Mooi, ik ook. Woon overigens ook aan de linge ;-)
ik aan de Graafstroom1
hier aan de merwede opnieuw kicken met Neal.
when this man is resting at home...uffff
