New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Eager fans of THE NEAL MORSE BAND—singer/guitarist/keyboardist Neal Morse, drummer Mike Portnoy, bassist Randy George, keyboardist Bill Hubauer and guitarist Eric Gillette—proved their loyalty to the Prog Rock band, which helped their latest release, THE SIMILITUDE OF A DREAM, land on various Billboard album charts:
#7 Current Hard
Music Albums
#27 Top Current Rock Albums
#18 Record Label Independent Current Albums
And across the pond, the album debuted in Germany at #25 (All Album Sales).
The highly anticipated double-disc concept album was released November 11 on Radiant Records via Metal Blade Records/SONY. It's the eighth studio album with Morse, Portnoy and George, and the second as a true collaboration with this current lineup. Clocking in at over 100 minutes, this amazing piece of Prog storytelling will leave you breathless, exhilarated, amused and fulfilled in a way that only inspired music can. It's available in various formats: a two CD package, a Special Edition with the two CDs and "The Making Of A Dream" DVD, or as three vinyl records along with two CDs.
THE SIMILITUDE OF A DREAM has already been racking up one rave review after another from all over the globe:
"All in all, this is quite an achievement by a group of musicians that didn't need to improve upon already magnificent careers filled with incredible albums...THE SIMILITUDE OF A DREAM does the impossible and exceeds all expectations. It is absolutely a jaw-dropping release that will no doubt rank alongside the best albums by Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy, if not above them."
