As heavy as 'All Falls Down' and that song feels out of place.

There are really only two hard rocking songs (and they are two of the three I usually skip).

Overall, it is just rock. There is a lot of catchiness to it, and they mostly kept things nice and simple. And that works to its advantage.

Yeah it should've been placed more in the 4th 6th song.

Implode, just listen to it. You won't know unless you try

Oh yes. I plan on listening, and I'm excited to. I wanted to get more of an idea while I waited for classes to end so I can go listen to it.

The instrumental section in the middle of Infinite Fire sounds a lot like Transatlantic. It's one of my favorite parts of the album.

I love "Ray Manzarek" keyboard sound Neal uses in that part.

i agree with nick. you can hear transatlantic-isms at moments throughout the album (particularly in how you can hear the beatles influence in both bands).

KevShmev · « **Reply #1022 on:** April 09, 2012, 06:35:09 PM »

I think that is more or less the Neal Morse influence, which is obviously very prevalent on the Transatlantic records. But that's it.

And I don't even think Infinite Fire sounds like Transatlantic that much. Sure, it sounds the most like TA because it is the only prog rock song on there, but saying that implies that it sounds a lot like TA. Which it really doesn't.

Maybe I should have put it differently. Some bits in there remind me of Neal Morse, which includes Spock's beard and Transatlantic. I'm sure he's the one that came up with most of the verses and chord progressions, the verse that begins with ''Bitter land of sight unseen'' just screams Neal Morse. It's just so him and therefore my favorite part of the album.

So, I listened to the album. Wasn't too impressed - Forever in a Daze was amazing though.

TheLordOfTheStrings · « **Reply #1025 on:** April 11, 2012, 12:19:47 PM »

I love the album. It's really really good. Glad MP put it out with A-Mob too cause I was about to give up with him after that one.. definitely shows MP is still capable of putting good stuff out. I also read about a possible new TA album and tour, so fingers crossed.

But yeah, this album is definitely a masterpiece. I can't wait for the next one.

Ok, here's a thing that really annoys me about FC: Spotify knows two bands called "Flying Colors" but it merges them, which means after listening to the good stuff you're "treated" to some rather boring reggae.

I was going to wait a couple weeks or so, but I can start it now if you guys want!

Then I'll wait. How about this - I'll start it on May 1st. So everybody who has their copy can get their listens in and their rankings (in prep for the Survivor), and for those who are still waiting can get a chance to at least hear it a few times before the Survivor begins!

Yeah, that's fine. I should get it within the next couple of days, so that's heaps of time.

Wore my Flying Colors t-shirt for the first time this weekend to a NJ Nets game. I was hoping another prog over would recognize the shirt, but no luck.

It's Mr. Whammy, a.k.a. an energetic senior citizen who sits behind the opponent's basket and tries to jinx them.

This was my fav band t-shirt that I received over SX, OSI, Redemption, Arch/Matheos, etc. It's a nice light material with a tight neckhole.

Still pretty lukewarm on this album. Some great songs and some so-so songs. Casey is great on some and not so great on others. Lots of potential for this group though if they choose to do anything further together.

It's kind of funny about MPs drumming for me. I've never really notice the "same-ness" of his drumming lately as others have pointed out, but I notice one particular fill that he does a ton on this album and many times in DT songs. It's two measures of 16th notes where he does four on a low drum and then four on a higher drum or symbol or tambourine or something (it varies from time to time, but it's the same sequence). It's bugging me so much for some reason. Not really that big of a deal musically, but it's just an "ah... there's that damn fill again!" kind of thing.

BlackInk · « **Reply #1047 on:** April 22, 2012, 05:30:25 AM »

There seems to be another band called Flying Colors making more jazzy prog that always shows up when searching for this band. I have searched the internet for info on this other band but can barely find anything lika a discography or some information. Anyone have any idea about this?

They had an album called "The Other Side" that was out 2010?

This may have already been talked about but there's like 30 pages so my enthusiasm for a thorough search was lacking.

Great video. The captions were hilarious. "Steve has used the same guitar for over 400 years."
