No one needs more pop fusion.
But if he is only thte lyricist then hopefully theyll continue as an instrumental band. |
4 O'Clock and Hysteria was a good album k

One of the handful of albums that I have actually reviewed.

sorry but Nick should shut up and (only) play the drums. |
Sorry, but some people don't agree with this.

Strongly disagree. They certainly changed, which is to be expected when the primary songwriter and frontman departs, but they found their own new sound and identity and released some excellent music. "X" is an incredibly good progressive rock album.

I was already worried when Lisa LaRue mentioned on Facebook last month she was working with Nick D'Virgilio (EX-Spock's Beard)

Shame.
Back when SB made my top five favorite bands. Even with Neal gone they still had their moments. At least they still have a drummer (at least with live gigs...idk why Jimmy whatever his name is isn't a member already). Thoygh I assume NDV is a major creative force with the band. If it's the end, they certainly had a good run and I hope the others do something new soon.

Imagine if Neal went back and took Portnoy with him to play drums? WOW!!

Yeah, I think when NDV signed up with that Cirque gig the end was near. Then, when they had Ted Leonard fill in for those shows this summer, I knew it was only a matter of time. You can't really blame him. He needs to support his family and Spock's Beard can't even draw 200 people to a show in the US. To me that's a tragedy.

No way, so many good albums come out in the last 5 years, including this year. It is rising if you ask me.
