I know there was a poll like this one, but it was created before the album was even released, so I'm doing it again. |

I know for a fact that I'll give The Whirlwind more plays than the others- so my vote is simple. ------------- |

What's wrong with bumping the other thread?

Bridge Across Forever. Everything on it is absolutely wonderful except maybe the Morse ballad which is mediocre imo.

Dude, change your avatar right now! I swear I thought you were Bob (Easy Livin). You never want to have the same avatar as someone that has been around here for a while. -Jeff -------------

I was thinking the same thing  . I don't think we can do this to Bob. It's his trade mark, it's BOB's  ------------- A day without prog is a wasted day |

| I still think the first one is the best though The Whirlwind is growing on me with repeated listens. |

The Whirlwind. Before the album came out i'd have said the debut. but the Whirlwind is fantastic! save for a couple of dull moments, IMO, during Rose Colored Glasses, but the entire thing is a treat to listen to. so many good parts and soaring melodies, not to mention their most diverse album i think. Is It Really Happening? moves me in ways most music doesn't. every movement stands on its own. it's so good i still havent listened to the bonus disc in the 2 weeks ive owned it. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

| The Bridge. Sorry to be on a downer, I just don't get what all the fuss is about The Whirlwind. |

Because it was out before the album was even released... people can't have heard the final version... if they heard it it's the demo version with the interruptions. SMPT:e for me, The Whirlwind is good but not as brimming with ideas... and lacking a bit of atmosphere too imo.

I really don't want the wrong impression. I started that thread 2 DAYS AFTER the Deluxe Edition of the album arrived at my doorstep. I assumed that it was released by that time. However, that DOES NOT change the fact that starting 2 threads with the same exact question is unnecessary -Jeff -------------

| I like the first two about equally, but find myself playing SMPTe a little more often. The Whirlwind is excellent compositionally and instrumentally, but I find the lyrics a little heavy-handed and as a result, don't play it very often.. |

The Bridge Across Forever, by a long way. SMPTe was pretty good, but The Whirlwind was a major disappointment for me. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

My initial impression of The Whirlwind was not that favorable, but I kept listening and it kept growing on me. Then when I saw them perform in Chicago it took the Whirlwind material to a whole new level. All of the Above and Duel actually seemed a little boring when heard alongside The Whirlwind. Stranger was still awesome though. |

Had the live albums been included in the poll, then I would have gone with Live in Europe, too
