Both tend to have their songs drag on (just pick any of TA's epics or
OSI's Hello Helicopter), but are good anyway. I'd have to give the edge
to Transatlantic on the merit of the "Bridge across forever"
album.

O.S.I. Dirt From A Holy Place is such a cool track. I hope there comes an 2nd album
Transatlantic.......boring

While I totally dig OSI, I just love the retro sound and songs of
Transatlantic. I know its kind of "been there, heard that" derivative,
but I still really dig all of their stuff.
Transatlantic R.I.P.

O.S.I by far. i remember all the hype about
transatlantic and consquently bought the album and,
to be quite frank, i was brutally disappointed.
classic-prog-by-numbers and neal morse's
omnipresence started to irritate me. saw them on
the european tour the following year (didn't bother
picking up the sophomore) and, whilst an
entertaining gig by everyone else, roine stolt's 'prog
headmaster' demeanor on stage really stank and
has so far entirely spoilt the flower kings for me.
O.S.I. is modern, innovative, progressive (natch),
outlooking and adventurous, i.e. everything that
transatlantic is, or was not. fingers crossed for
another album! i personally kind of stepped aside
from my inital enjoyment of dream theater (hey, we
were all young and easily impressable) and stuck
with kevin moore and his chroma key albums – the
guy is IMHO up there with robert fripp, peter gabriel
and steven wilson – hideously talented and
visionary. check out his latest "graveyard mountain
home" – mindblowing stuff. over and out.

I like OSI a lot more, it's is definitely more of my music taste than
Transatlantic, which is not bad, but not one of my favorites.
