The fifth album from this artist from USA.
Neal Morse did the guitars, keyboards and vocals here.
He got help from numerous guests who provided drums, bass, strings, woodwinds, bagpipes, guitars and chorus.
Alan Morse, Steve Hackett and Roine Stolt was the three most known guests who added guitar solos on this album. Neal Morse has no problems getting help from the best of the best musicians in the scene as an ex member of Spock's Beard and a current member of Transatlantic and other projects.
The music on this one hour long album, which is a pretty restrained album length to be Mr Morse, is following in the same footsteps of his previous album One.... and with some Bob Dylan'esque music thrown into the mix too.
The songs are pretty short and punchy. There is no time to go on some symphonic prog journeys on this album. The lyrics are Christian too and pretty preaching.
Most of the songs here are pretty much substandard, this being Neal Morse and his standards. His very high standards. The opening track is a very good song. The rest.... not so good.
Hence my lack of enthusiasm for this album.
