Here are my favorite albums that were released in Q3 (July/Aug/Sept) of 2025. As usual, I only include albums I liked enough to buy on vinyl or CD. Q3 was a bit lean for me - I listened to quite a few more albums than this that just didn’t grab me strongly. Overall though 2025 remains strong!

Nice! I really wanted to order this one but they were charging $50 to ship to the U.S., which I know for sure isn’t what it costs 😂

Iirc Neal said it’s basically an acknowledgement that we all gave times in our lives where we are confronted with unfamiliar territory.

Yup. It’s on RTM 1-mil tape.

It’s terrific - maybe his best singer-songwriter album yet!!!

Cosmic Cathedral was great! Very jammy - the most jammy thing there has been at a Morsefest!

Thanks! And yes a lot of what we are getting is known - Night 1 is Neal Morse & The Resonance, Night 2 is Cosmic Cathedral. Night 3 Neal has most of NMB (minus Portnoy) and company doing all of his album “One” as well as a set of Spock’s Beard tunes!!! Very excited about it all 🤘🏻

Bummer!!! I hope Friday works for you 🙏🏻 I got lucky - I got tickets for the Wednesday show, very good seats, at face value/regular price. I was one of the first 1,000 in and I was done with my purchase by 12:04!
