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. |

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. |

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.  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">

| 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. |

Transatlantic for sure. ------------- Improvement makes straight roads, but the crooked roads without improvement, are roads of genius. Silence is the music of the future. |
