Well, when contending with albums like V and Beware of Darkness, it doesn't have to be the best to still be good. You're right though, it could be better

I haven't seen a lot of discussion about The Kindness of Strangers on this thread, which I think deserves some appreciation. It's not SB's best, but it stands up in its' own way. There are a lot of great tracks like "The Good Don't Last" and "Harm's Way", among others. I can't seem to get into "Flow" though; maybe I just need to listen to it more. Overall, a pretty solid album with lots of great moments. Anyone disagree?

Their newest album, Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep, has a couple songs that sound like Neal Morse SB and that's because he helped write those songs.

However, everything from Feel Euphoria up to and including X has a totally different feel than the stuff before it with Neal. I find it hit or miss. Certainly, there is some good stuff there. X is absolutely fantastic. It's my favorite post NM SB album

I think they suffer these days from having been IT during the 90s internet radio. And early on in my 90s prog listening, I resented them and all Neal's side projects, like Transatlantic. I wanted to hear more Hackett, for example.  But they grew on me, and their mp3s haven't been off my player in years. 

Beware of Darkness has tended to be my favorite.

The first time I knew of Spock's Beard's existence was when Dream Theater mentioned "Day for Night" in their epic song Octavarium. "Day for Nightmare Cinema Show Me the Way to Get Back Home Again"

Oh Mike, I thought you were more passionate about vinyl, especially with albums containing lots of 'majik' .......( I have asked Greg to hold a copy for me already).

Oh, Tom...I've been having this dilemna for quite a while now with many titles. I guess as I'm coming to the end of my renovations, I'm seeing what sort of space I have in my current place and realising that there's not a lot of room left should I keep choosing LPs over CDs. This will become a problem within a few years. I've been on much more of a CD bender the last year or two (as Greg W from Syn-Phonic would certainly know! ). I'm still happy to pick up the one or two vinyls each record fair, but my days of mass-buying many vinyl titles at a time are done, I'm afraid.

The other problem in this case is....I've had the CD of `V' for years now, so it's not as exciting to rebuy it all over again and not play the vinyl!
