Neal Morse Survivor 2012 - Momentum (Round 1)

Momentum
Thoughts (Part 5)
Smokes And Mirrors
Weathering Sky
Freak
World Without End

Here's the first round of Neal's latest studio album, and with only 6 songs, is the 2nd-to-least amount of songs on a Neal solo album (with Sola Scriptura beating it at 4). This should be a quick one, then after this, Consolation Rounds!

I'm going with "Freak", but it's still good. This is one of Neal's most consistent albums to date!

Really? After Lifeline this is one of the most inconsistent records he's made, in my opinion. I mean, the Epic is amazing, but apart from that...

[Unlegit]

Freak.

Just because both this and Lifeline weren't concept albums? I think this is light-years ahead of LL, and while not as good as One or ?, it's at least more consistent than T1, and on par with T2.

No, has totally nothing to do with that. I mean, not actively, maybe in the back of my head... I don't think so though.
I mean, of all his other albums I can at least relate to (parts of) every track on the album, not with Momentum and Lifeline though. Both Lifeline and Momentum have songs that are just totally blank. Again, just my opinion. What does make this lightyears better than Lifeline is World Without End and the title track.

Smoke and Mirrors.  It's a good song, but the only one I don't love on the album.  Momentum is possibly my favorite Neal album, T2 is just barely behind.
