TESTIMONY

Neal was great with Spock's Beard, and this album is no slacker either! Yes, you can compare it to SB's 'Snow' (both 2CD concept pieces with similar Overture/Parts structures) but the stories, purpose and more importantly music are completely different. Having seen him tour this album, with the phenominal Mike Portnoy on drums, I have no doubts that this new direction, whatever your views on his religious motivations, will be just as good if not better than his work with Spock's Beard.
