NEAL MORSE: The new Neal Morse album will be entitled Sola Scriptura and is to be released on February 26th through Inside Out.

News on this release is still somewhat scarce, but a Hungarian website revealed the tracklisting and artwork. The concept seems to deal with the reformation of the Christian belief, when Martin Luther split from the Catholic Church.
The (unconfirmed) tracklist is as follows:
Track 1. The Door (29:14)
i Introduction
ii In The Name Of God
iii All I Ask For
iv Mercy for Sale
v Keep Silent
vi Upon The Door

Track 2. The Conflict (25:00)
i Do You know My Name?
ii Party to the Lie
iii Underground
iv Two Down, One to Go
v The Vineyard
vi Already Home

Track 3. Heaven in my Heart (5:11)

Track 4. The Conclusion (16:34)
i Randy's Jam
ii Long Night's Journey
iii Re-Introduction
iv Come Out Of Her
v Clothed With The Sun
vi In Closing...

The new Neal Morse is right behind the new Marillion as my most anticipated release of 2007.

A buddy of mine (who is a huge Neal Morse fan) may boycott this release because he's afraid it'll be anti-Catholic.

I think Neal Morse's record will be as anti-catholic as the movie The Passion of the Christ was anti-semitic.

Ughh... I'm a Catholic, and let me tell you: we deserve to be bashed (well, I'm not Catholic by choice). There are some Catholics I respect and admire greatly, but as a whole I really don't enjoy the religion.

Anyway... back from my blurb... any anti-Catholic lyrics shouldn't be listened to and we should just listen to the music instead.

The Passion of the Christ was not anti-semitic, was realistic, even the Jewish community accept they participated in the crucifixion of Christ.
 
But many New Born Christians are openly anti-Catholic, I won't boycott the album, simply won't buy it if I believe it's offensive to my or any religion.

That album is amazing. One is a bit cheesier (IMO), but very good. I don't have Testimony or Snow... but I do have V, and I recommend that.

Now, Gibson's recent remarks may reveal him as having such opinions, but Passion was not at all anti-semitic. The Jews really did want Jesus dead, but wasn't it the Romans, the Gentiles, who tortured and killed him, the point is Jesus was killed because people were afraid of him, the Jews because he was the Messiah they didn't picture, and the Romans because of his possible influence over the people. In fact, Mel Gibson was the hands that drove the nails into Jesus in the movie to symbolize how we ALL killed Jesus


Any way, back on topic, I am seriously looking forward to the new album (points to sig)
Bassists are deadly

I got ? about a month ago and I'm still hearing new things every time I listen so I think I'll be ready for a new dose of Morse by February.  I don't really worry about challenges to my religious beliefs.  Sticks and stones.

Does anyone know what Sola Scriptura means?

Well, it was a belief that Martin Luther had during the Catholic Reformation of the 1500s that only the early scriptures and the bible could be believed and used in religious practices, not the word of the pope or any member of the clergy.

Don't know if that will have anything to do with the concept of the album although by the looks of the track names it probably does.

Well, it was not the Catholic Reformation, it was the Lutheran or Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Reformation is called the Counter Reformation.
 
Sola Scripture means Scripture alone, in other words the absolute and literal believe in the content of the Bible.
 
That's the reason why I have never bought and won't buy a Neal Morse album, there are enough TV Evangelists shouting in the TV that my religion is wrong to support one of them.

Buying or listening preachers is for those who want in a free society.
 
Having opinions about where preaching belongs is also accepted in a free society, I don't believe Rock and preaching should be mixed because then it ceases to be art and only an instrument to indoctrinate and brainwash people who buy it for the music.
 
BTW: I always believed USA was a free society, but preching is forbidden in public schools.
 
How do you explain that?
