SNOW

A Great, but not perfect album be the Beard. This is not as proggy as V or the Light, but it's not too poppy to be non-progressive. Many of the songs are catchy with choruses and such, some are not.

The concept is not very original and the whole album is SB's version of Genesis's the Lamb, but there are several moments that make this album worthwhile. Honestly I think the Light was SB's most original and best album of Neal's era of the albums I've heard, but this is second. This was actually my first symphonic prog album.

One of the things I thought was funny about Genesis and SB was the similarites. Here we have two Progressive Rock bands, one fronted by Morse, the other Gabriel, both responsible for penning the lyrics and being the frontman. Genesis makes ther Lamb and Gabriel then leaves. SB makes Snow and Morse leaves. Drummer Phil Collins takes over lead vocals. Drummer Nick D'Virgilio takes over lead vocals. Both bands continue makeing progressive albums, but a little more poppy. If Alan Morse leaves soon it will be just scary...

Anyway, this is a great album and a great closing to the morse album.
