? [AKA: QUESTION MARK]

I agree with "King Of Loss"'s review. He has hit the nail on the head - I love the Transatlantic 'vibe'. This is up there, really, with Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" as a concept album (but for the current times). It is really easy to ignore the Christian theme because the music overpowers anything about 'god' this and 'god' that. I would love Neal's vocals even if he was singing about the tap dripping or paint drying!! As well, Roine Stolt makes a guest appearance on guitar (along with the well-established band that Neal has had since "Testimony" was released. What we have here is 12 tracks of pure genious. Neal really puts his heart and soul into every track (and I believe the guest musicians do too). "Testimony", his first solo effort, established that he can make it on his own. That album was about getting his story across to everyone wondering why he left Spock's Beard. Then we had "One", with some epics I really like (like "The Creation" - that track gives me shivers on my spine!). But this release, IMO, overshadows his past solo output. He has approached this album differently, as there are no 'epic' tracks that are 20 mins+ - but here we have what seems to me as if it is one epic track put together as 12 tracks anyway. To sum it up: an amazing concept album with music that touches the spirit, Roine Stolt's appearance makes it even more like a Transatlantic album, all in all I think this is among Neal's best work. I am not going to say it's his best work, but up there with it. Any fan of Neal's previous work (including Spock's Beard) must get this CD!.
