Your opinions on Neal Morse

I have only really started to appreciate Morse outside of Spocks Beard this year via Transatlantic & have to say, the man is a one man prog-rock revival...

...however, as Richard quite rightly points out...

Accordingly, this thread closed - please continue there

The only Neal Morse solo album I've heard is Sola Scriptura, and although I think it's a good album, I just could never get into it.  One of his epics is enough before I get tired of the music.  He seems to me to be an excellent musician with good singing, playing, and songwriting skills, but his music just isn't my cup of tea.

I don't like his lyrics, either (at least those on Sola Scriptura).  It's nothing to do with the subject matter (I'm a Christian and a Lutheran too, so you'd think I'd enjoy them); it's just that I consider the lyrics very poorly written.

EDIT:  To clarify, I don't want anyone to think that my somewhat negative post was meant to denote any sort of dislike for Neal Morse.  I do like his music, it's just low on the spectrum of my likes.  To give an illustration: I have Sola Scriptura on my Ipod, because I like it.  But, if I had to delete things off my Ipod to make room for, say, the complete Toby Driver discography, Sola Scriptura would be one of the first ones to go.
