? [AKA: QUESTION MARK]

This is definitely Neal's best solo offering, by far. It's just so tight the whole time. I liked "Testimony and "One", although there were sections I couldn't stand for repeated listenings. This is his most progressive work in his new solo career, as well. I really don't care about lyrics, at all. There is a nice mix of instrumental and sang parts, and that is a plus. I love Neal's voice, and he puts all his emotion in this record. There's the Transatlantic vibe like someone said earlier. And Portnoy delivers some great and precise drumming. On the downside, some of the melodies are repeated through the album, which is to be expected, but can be annoying to some. And there's this song, "Outside Looking". which reeks of cheesiness, but is pretty... or something.

More like, 9.5/10. I love this album. Who said prog rock was without emotion?

(Yeah, I suck at making reviews, so I'll stop here)
