I especially like the title track/epic.   The epics are classically proggy, takes awhile to hit you then lasts forever!

A big and very pleasant surprise was the Pete vocal section in the title track. Man I want more of that. Absolutely beautiful section!

After listening the required minimum of 5 times for any prog disc worth it's salt, this is an absolutely amazing effort by Transatlantic.

I swear, I don't know how these guys go back to their regular bands - this stuff is so good.

I really like this one. It seems like it's more of a band effort and less dominated by Neal Morse this time around.

Unfortunatley, Portnoy no longer has a regular band to go back to

He seems to be happy with all his 10,000 bands though. Spreading his musical wings! CARPE DIEM. Seize the Day as he wrote in ACOS.

Funny because I get the opposite impression. This one sounds more like solo Neal Morse stuff to me, a few passages seem outtakes from Spock's Beard's Snow or Neal's Momentum.

I'm a bit disappointed to be honest, extremely predictable and formulaic. This is one of those albums which need to be judged in their context and timing, if this was TA's debut I would say it's an exceptional album, but by now it's just more of the same (I already made a similar comment when The Whirlwind was released).

In any case top musicianship, of course, and plenty of enjoyable moments. But Bridge Across Forever keeps being my fav.
The covers on disc 2 follow the originals too closely, but they are OK, especially the most proggy Yes' And You And I, Focus Sylvia and KC's Indiscipline.

I agree. They could have done more with the covers than just duplicating the originals.

I also agree with you about BAF.
