MOMENTUM

Momentum is the 2012 Neal Morse's gift for prog lovers. It may be not his best album but it is one of his most attractive and heaviest albums. Momentum starts with the title track, a very good hard rock opener, with a solid guitar solo. Next we have Thoughts part 5, continuing the Thoughts line started in early Spock's Beard era. Smoke & Mirrors is a softer song followed by the solid and heavier Weathering Sky. The finest moment of the album comes with the last track which actually takes the whole second half of the album's lenght. It's a very solid epic consisting in tones of varied segments and solos. By far the best 2012 prog song and one of the best Neal's entire career epics. Another must have for NM lovers and prog fans. 4.5 stars.
