? [AKA: QUESTION MARK]

It makes me sad to know that Neal Morse left Spock's Beard because he did great wonders on albums like Snow and V HOWEVER i love the fact that he is using the power and word of the lord through music like this. Never in my wildest dreams i would ever thought that someone would use christain music and mix it with Progressive rock. Not to mention its NEAL MORSE that's doing that too. Well anyway i've heard ONE and that blew me away but "?" is just a little bit better than ONE as neal creates a 56 minute song with such moments a progger could dream of. i mean there are great mega epics like A PLEASANT SHADE OF GRAY, SIX DEGREES OF INNER, TURBLUENCE, AND GARDEN OF DREAMS but this to me absolutely blows them away. Not to mention he has a great cast of musicians in this album as well with funky bassist RANDY GEORGE and of course THE ONE AND ONLY MIKE PORTNOY!!!! plus he also brought some brotherly with ALAN MORSE, some old Transatlanitc memories with FLOWER KINGS frontman ROINE STOLT, and of course one the legends in prog rock STEVE HACKETT and dude his solo on 12 AAAAAAAAAAAH AWESOME!!!!! plus we've also got imo the greatest keyboard player ever JORDAN RUDESS and dude his solo on INTO THE FIRE gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it. Anyway this is one of my favorite SPOCK'S BEARD-related CDs as album has such a great message to it. Every time i listen to it i sometimes get a tear to my eye of how beautiful most of these songs are like OUTSIDE LOOKING IN and INSIDE HIS PRESCENCE. Anyway this CD is definitely recommended if you LOVE neal morse and Spock's Beard. Great Album Neal may you continue to change people's lives with the wonderful message you bring in your albums. God Bless
