? [AKA: QUESTION MARK]

This album is wonderful. People are always complaining that Neal is repetitive but people like me who enjoy excellent, hard hitting prog with great musicianship will continue to buy the same thing over and over again. It is our pleasure. Not that I would say that Testimony, One and ? all sound the same. Neal has his style and it is a style that suits me just fine.

And then people complain about the lyrics. If talking about God is the worst thing you have to endure in your life, then you must have it pretty good. Go buy a Carcass album and wallow in some of those lyrics so you don't have to be subjected to something that may may you think about the grand scheme of things.

When you buy a Neal Morse album, you know what you are getting. Between his track record and the myriad reviews of his work, there should be no surprises. If all you are going to do is try and tear down a guy who has more talent than all his detractors put together, put on your headphones and listen to Selling England By the Pound for the 800th time and maybe you won't feel so bad about blowing your $14.99 on a new masterpiece of the genre.
