February 3, 2014, 10 years ago
TRANSATLANTIC frontman Neal Morse (ex-SPOCKS BEARD) is featured in a new interview with the Illinois Entertainer discussing the band's latest album, Kaleidoscope.. An excerpt is available below:
Illinois Entertainer: It seems like every album that Transatlantic makes shows another side of the band. Where do you think Kaleidoscope is taking the fans?
Neal Morse: "Well, I think in a way it’s a move forward, but it’s also harkening back to the first two albums we did. In a sense of the way it is structured. But I don’t know. I try not to compare albums too much. I think it’s taking us to a really good place. A lot of people had said it’s one of the best albums we did. I just feel great about it. I’m happy with how it came out, and how it is being received."
