Morse wrote additional material to complete a second disc and as the band was finishing the album, Mike Portnoy told the band, "we just made the album of our careers.". Portnoy later made these comments public when the album was announced saying, "Neal and I have now made 18 studio albums together, and I consider 'The Similitude Of A Dream' the absolute creative pinnacle of our collaborations together, after a career of almost 50 albums, I honestly consider this to be one of the defining works of my career" These comments caused much excitement and anticipation in the prog rock community.

Musically speaking this is fantastic - as much of Neal Morse’s work - it’s a pity that the message always pisses me off. Usually makes for a cringing experience, especially at the end of his records. Which is a shame of the crescendo’s . . . cause they are gorgeous.
@@m00nglass41 That is were you and I differ in opinion Jacob. What you call divine inspiration, I call inspiration. As a religious person, no doubt Neal has internalized the drive for this project as divine. I do not believe in the existence of that drive; hence my cringing.
It is a matter of definition of context - Neal Morse see no difference between love and Divinity. Precisely as the story here outlines, it is not an actual pilgrimage - it is an inner journey to find the eternal home - divinity. It cannot be fathomed by the intellect - it is experiential. So Neal Morse is merely expressing gratitiude for the love he rexieves - and puts this out as beauty in music. So in essence the beauty you experience, which no scientist can explain how, Neal see as Divinity and love. Actually this story is a spiritual treatise that one goes through in awakening to the truth - the RADICAL truth - the truth that has always been, will ever be true and is true NOW -- I AM. I dont remember my birth neither do I imagine my death, all I know is that I am conscious - and consciousness is such an enormous gigantuos event that it rquires thr power of infinity. So infinity is God, and you are part of it by being conscious and experience it through love. Like gravity love shines equally on all - and this is not about opinion - it is factual. At least one admits humility to say - I DO NOT knoe if there is a God, but I am open to the revelation if his presence is the source of my existence! :) At leadt this is ad logical that the intellect can start to open up...
@@bjorns1135 Thank you for your response. It is clear to me that you and I come from different corners in this debate and that is perfectly okay with me. If you have ever seen/heard one of Neal’s sermons, you would have to conclude that he believes in a physical God, Jesus and metaphysical ‘corporate’ Holy Ghost. The wrath of God is real, and of God. Divinity is a real and tangible thing for him. That is NOT the same as love. Neal’s music isn’t just about his love pouring out. He is preaching throughout: he (or a 3rd. person) is leading a live of sin or dissolution, hits rock bottom, is being tempted, feels there is something more, gives him/herself up and over and finds the light/God/peace. That is following the gospel, not following love. I’m sorry, but in my view there is no I AM. There is only random and chance. Truth is a matter of perspective, there is no radical truth. The only truth to be had is science based evidence; and even that CAN be changed by new insights. Consciousness is a result of evolution. I agree with you that it is a wondrous and wonderful ‘thing’, but it does not require the power of infinity; just enough time. I personally could never call that love. I also agree with you that no one KNOWS there is no God, same as no one KNOWS there is. I had a religious upbringing and education. I know ‘my’ Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism. Being over 60 and living in Northern Europe, I seen the rise of yogi’s and new age spirituality. I understand that it is frightening for people to realise that life has no meaning, no goal and no purpose; that it is the result of random chance and that the best we can do - since we ARE conscious - is to not be total assholes to the others around us, and try and help each other to make the most of it. This inside is what opening my intellect has brought me.
Yeah, our disagreement seems to be our free will to believe whatever we want. Nonetheless, your interpretation of Neal Morse's faith seems to be slightly biased to your scientific world perspective. In a way you are right - but in another, you seem to ignore some underlying facts about existence and consciousness - which is that the essence (or origin) of an object cannot change quality halfway through. Nothing one points to have this ability. An apple seed cannot turn into a pear tree. How can a random evolution create order? (such as scientific reasoning or society?) It just boggles my mind how this can even be disputable. It is such a logical fallacy. Potential is a quality of the essence. Even a larva will never be able to turn into anything else than a butterfly. Everywhere we see there is order and harmony - how the weather behaves, how the planets move and how we structure our society. Chaos and randomness is merely a simple justification for things that are outside of our current paradigm of understanding. I mean I am also from northern Europe, I am raised in a secular family, I have seen all the woo-woo spiritual bullshit. Heck, I am not even confirmed in the church. But - just because there are a bunch of fake gods, does not exclude the potential of an authentic one. Which was Nietzches logical mistake. So I know your view on the matter Because I have held it myself since we share the same culture. The presence of the Lord is unmistakenly obvious to me, it is outside of provable words or intellectualization of concepts. The presence is a subtle nuance within - it is ignited by extreme suffering (hitting rock bottom as you said) and of surrendering the belief that we are a randomly evolved anomaly. The answer (if there is one) can only be a subjective one. The very thing that the scientific materialistic world view condemns as untrustworthy and ridden with false bias. Subjectivity is where we live and to disregard the immensity of subjectivity and to think that we will find some kind of answer to subjectivity within the scientific world view is like looking for your lost car keys under the streetlamp because that is where the light is. It is merely an inner revelation that is beyond recognition unless one offers humility that AT LEAST one doesn't know if there is a God or not. How can one get the truth of anything unless one first is open to the answer?
This album is an absolute masterpiece. I hope it will be more acknowledged in the future.
This entire Masterpiece is encapsulated in its essence in one single moment: Come On!
This is one of THE prog rock albums in history! Absolutely the best, so far, by Neal Morse Band!

There’s nothing wrong with the quality if you ask me! This is fire!
Unbelievable
Fantastic!!
I prefer the first version of the video. Where can I find it?
To live like a normal man, to run like an 'also ran'
To sink down the waterhole
It makes no sense to me
You did well boys
♥️
What happens when you mix, Genesis, with Pink Floyd?
More like the Beatles with Zappa.
@@tixximmi1 As in, “Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”, with, We’re Only In It For The Money”?
@@johnmoesche4759 Good catch. Who could imagine?
What is the guitar tuning here?
Monophonic
The sound quality of this really sucks and I do mean REALLY sucks! So what’s the story?
Lets buy the album and support the band...
perhaps you already know but it's a bad upload. The 'real' official, legitimate recording is great
What is a similitude, dude?
Synonym for similarity
Awful quality and mono sound.
I do agree there is something wrong with the audio, play it quietly and there is a lot of noise, unfortunate!!
So go buy it.
Great album, but the quality sucks
So go buy it.
Video seems cool, but the audio aint. Sorry 😔
