THE NEAL MORSE BAND: THE GRAND EXPERIMENT

The last prog rock album by Neal Morse was Momentum in 2012. After 3 years, Neal Morse came back on the prog side with The Grand Experiment. And it's surely one of his best effors. The album begins with The Call (or Following The Call) which is a ten minutes song. It's very proggy, with many solos (the synth one at 8 minutes is awesome), great melodes, time signatures changes, etc... A great track. After that, there's the title track which is not very prog, more hard rock but pleasant. Waterfall is a beautiful track with vocal harmonies, acoustic guitars,... The melody is great and the production is awesome. Agenda is the worst song on the album. It sounds like an awful rock FM songs of the 90's. But I think it's pretty humoristic or a parody. Alive Again is the closing epic of 27 minutes. It's great, prog as hell, with awesome developpement. So, this album is great, better than Momentum for me. The best of 2015 at the moment.
