<p>Remember, I try to post my favorite-songs (if they are not overplayed) by the bands/artists I chose, but usually, there are no video's or concertclips from around the time of the release of the song on youtube for me to post, so I have to pick from what I can get.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I try to cover a bands/artist career, or at least from the years, I think they released great music.</p>
<p>I would definitley had picked other songs from Testimony 2, Spocks Beard and the last two albums, Morse…</p>

<p>The Light - 16:23 I'll never get back. Awful quality and a very uninteresting song to boot.</p>
<p>Heaven Smiled - I hesitate to say this is bad, but it really doesn't do anything for me. It just feels kind of generic.</p>
<p>Agenda - This is much, much better. I have this album and I like it. I remember that this song didn't do it for me at first, but it's quite catchy. The more you hear it, the more you wanna repeat the chorus. </p>
<p>Transatlantic - Meh. It's not bad, but that's…</p>

<p>Transatlantic - Meh. It's not bad, but that's about the best thing I can say. I do enjoy hearing Ted Leonard sing, so there is that.</p>

<p>BLACK AS THE SKY ... Cool band! Morse is a phenomenal keyboard player as well. This the one album I do own of theirs and I happy to have bought it, its one of those impulse buys that actually paid off.</p>
<p>MASK MACHINE ... Another cool band, but I still prefer their debut album and I have no reason why becuase the second album is very good as well. I need to get this one ut and spin it again!</p>

<p>HEAVEN SMILED ... I own this album and I dont care for it, dont get me wrong, I dont hate it, but I dont listen to it anymore at all.. So its a candidate for return to the used CD store, but I doubt it will make it into my final give back stack because I keep thinking Im missing something. At least I keep trying.</p>

<p>Truth Will Set You Free - This has a nice, building intro that's somewhat carried through the songs by the drumming. This is definitely a religious song (no problems there in general, though I'm not a fan of worship music because of it's repetitious style, nothing else) and the band is set up like the bands set up in contemporary church services. It's a good track and I bet it would probably sound better on the studio version.</p>

<p>Mask Machine - This is a cool song. I actually own this album. Seems like I didn't like the album overall quite as much as I did the debut, but I can't remember for sure. Casey McPherson is a very good vocalist. Also, Portnoy doesn't overplay the drums, which is a good thing, and the guitar solo by Morse is terrific. Nice.</p> Well, it may take me two week…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2016-04-26:6060463:Comment:1309822016-04-26T10:59:52.887ZRJhog (Admin)http://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JeffHogland
<p>Well, it may take me two weeks to watch all these videos, but truthfully, I'm looking forward to hearing some of his earlier work that I've never heard.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Since I Let You Go - This is the only one I'll get to this morning. This is Harry Connick Jr. territory. It's simple, accompanied mostly by piano and sax. It's not bad, but it doesn't sound like 1985 if you ask me, other than maybe the reference to the Rockford Files. It's not a song that would pull me into listening to…</p>

<p>SINCE I LET YOU GO ... He's nearly unrecognizable! And it s a pop ballad/show tune with jazz undertones. Who is this guy? His voice sounds more in tune than some of his work on... say, Songs from November? (Which still disappoints me). Let me be frank.. I'm glad he lost his hair and went prog, and that's all I'm gonna say about this song.</p>

<p>THE LIGHT ... Much better, but the sound quality is terrible on this. Again I must say I like him best with short hair and a receding hairline and that 90's get up he's wearing is horrid.</p>
<p>THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE ... Also one of my faves and THIS is the Neal Morse I love the most.</p>
<p><br/>...will have to watch these in chunks, I don't have the time for all of them in one setting this week,,</p>
