In 2011, the world learned of yet another supergroup band featuring Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy, joined by guitar legends Steve Morse and Dave LaRue. They would bring in singer-songwriter Casey McPherson to round out the line-up, and no one was ready for what they would release, but it turned out to be one of the best albums of 2012. Now, over seven years later, we revisit that album in the third Flying Colors Survivor! This will be this album's third survivor, as I ran it in 2012 and 2014 (when Second Nature came out). It'll be interesting to see how these results compare to the first two times I ran it! I wonder if the first song out will be the same again?

Everything Changes

Damn, it's hard with this one.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

This is my first survivor! Let's make it count lol

Can't believe some people don't like All Falls Down, I think it's amazing :metal

Voted SCW.
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

I like it too, but this album is so strong and consistent that something's gotta give. I think they vote it more as in "least good among the great" rather than "it severly blows".

Definitely Fool In My Heart for me. I don't quite understand why everyone picks SWC or AFD over (under?) this one.

Btw, if anyone picks Infinite Fire here- I will find you. And I will enlighten you.

MP’s voice really works for me on Fool. In fact it may be my favorite on the album because of it.

Because Fool in My Heart is better. ;)

Full disclosure: Shoulda Coulda Woulda, All Falls Down and Fool in My Heart are my three least favorites, but I do think Fool in My Heart is the best of the three.

It's weird, but SWC is one of the songs that randomly start to play in my head the most.

I haven't listened to it in at least half a year, still it pops into my head every week or so. Maybe because of that small but cool rhythmic abnormality in the chorus and the way MP stops the hi-hat during the verses. Those are small things that make this song awesome.

All Falls Down is probably top 5 on the album for me, but the whole album is very strong.

Voted MP vocals.

Shoulda Coulda Woulda would make my top 5 from this list.
