This kind of music (progressive rock) is complex and requires active listening. In order to "get it", you must be patient and spin the disks several times. Once you have trained your ears, the rewards are bountiful. The musical structures are varied and lyrics are engaging and meaningful. Neal Morse is the kind of artist/talent that has been missing in Christian "rock". In so many cases, when musicians come to Christ, they put all the emphasis on the lyrics of their compositions and forget the power that quality music contains. Lyrics with the gospel message are critical, but no message is spread if no one is listening. The other benefit to this wonderful composition is the encouragement it contains for all believers. Spirituality aside, this album is a fantastic listen for any fan of prog rock, but the message can't be missed if you open your ears.Read full review
This CD absolutely great. Outstanding progressive rock from the mastermind of Spock's Beard. The musicianship and songwriting are top notch. Written after Morse became a Christian, the lyrics are clearly directed toward God, but the music hasn't changed. He continues with the same progressive rock you would hear on a Spock's Beard album. This is a worthy successor to his last Spock's Beard masterpiece "Snow", which is also a double CD.
Excellent modern Progressive tells the story of Neal Morse's conversion to Christianity. Compelling, sweeping compositions featuring Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater and Kerry Livgren of ProtoKaw (ex- Kansas). A MUST HAVE release!
