ONE

I suspect that most reviews of this CD will be similar to Testimony, outstanding, despite the Christian" message. Well I think One is magnificent because of the message. I am a Christian, though progressive rock has been my preferred type of music for nearly 35 years. I have only been a Christian for a few years. Neal Morse's last 2 CDs are the first truly great Christian Progressive Rock CDs I have heard. The man is a musical genius. I enjoy both Spock's Beard and Transatlantic, but his last 2 solo works conceptionally go beyond anything by him I have heard before, and a large part of that concept is the Christian message. However, if you're not Christian, don't be put off by the message. Just listen to the music and enjoy. Morse surrounds himself with some incredible musical support, most noticably MIke Portney. Even though I loved this CD because of the message, I think even if I wasn't a Christian, I'd love it for the music. ENJOY.
