What's your favorite NM solo album and after determining that how would you rank them.
For me I'd say Testimony 2 is my favorite. And my rankings as of now (may be subject to change over time) Testimony 2 One Sola Scriptura ? Testimony Lifeline |

For me One will always be number one. After that, probably ?, Testimony 2, Sola Scriptura, Testimony, and Lifeline in that order. |

I own Sola Scriptura and both Testimony and Testimony 2. If I have to choose between those 3, Sola Scriptura gets my vote by far.

I believe he's asking what you think Neal Morse's best solo album is. |

'?' and 'Sola Scriptura' are both mindblowing. Not too keen on the 'Testimony' s and 'One' though. And don't even get me started on 'Lifeline'....

One has my favorite melodies. I love big epic melodies, so lots of love for "The Spirit and the Flesh" on One and "Mercy St. Revisited" on T2. The finales of those two songs are EPIC.
My favorite Neal Morse moments are on One. That album gets dragged down a bit by the sappier songs, though (i.e. Cradle to the Grave, Reunion). I can't listen to it all the way through like I can with ? or SS. My answer changes all the time. I'll go with Sola Scriptura since that's been #1 in my head the longest, even though I've been playing One and ? more lately. |

Do we still have to push sound? Maybe it's time to go back to composition as the driving force of new ground. —rogerthat

One ans Sola Sciptura are at the top very closely followed by ? actually I guess that depending on the moment you ask me I might name any of the 3 as my favourite.
I'm not so much impressed by neither T1, Lifeline or T2, all of them have good songs but fail as a complete album.

Yeah I would agree One has massive epic melodies and contains the wonderful The Creation, a favorite of mine. (not to mention Author of Confusion and The Separated Man) It is a wonderful concept album. But Morse is a master at the concept album I would say. I would say that combined Testimony and Testimony 2 are beyond wonderful. T2 gave me a much greater appreciation for T1. But they are def. his most personal and passionate albums, he's pouring his heart out. Although all his albums are very passionate and heartfelt.

T2helped me appreciate T1 a lot more as well.
Testimony 2 ? Sola Scriptura Testimony One Lifeline Very hard to rank his albums, they're all very good |

No love for Structural Damage....easy choice for me, it's the only solo Morse album I have! Nice variety, great playing, groovy compositions....check of the classically bent Slice of Time! I'm stil digesting the late 70s Dregs stuff.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
