ONE

First of all I'm not a devoted Christian, heck I'm not even religious at all. So for this album I tried to somewhat ignore the lyrics as they can be very cheesy and corny (unless you are someone who needs to listen to faith reaffirming lyrics).

The music however is probably as good, or even better than Neal Morse ever did with Spock's Beard. The disc starts with the superb epic "The Creation". A song with lot's of tempo changes and heavy moments to soft moments. A real "Spock's Beardish" epic. Other notable tracks include "Author of Confusion" where Gentle Giant is really copied (but I like it anyway). Last but not least notable track is "Help me", sure the lyrics are a bit corny but the music is great, it has a jazzy/swingish feel to it and would probably make a great dancing track.

If you like Spock's Beard and you are a Christian than this is no doubt a 5 star album. If you're not Christian but you still enjoy good prog then this is an excellent addition to any prog music collection. So 4 stars for Neal Morse.
