The 13th album from this artist from USA.
Neal Morse plays keyboards, guitars and does the lead vocals.
He got help from numerous guests who provided drums, percussion, bass, guitars, strings, saxophones and vocals.
Neal Morse's discography is a bit difficult to follow as there is so many Worship albums included who does not have any interest for a progressive rock fan and collection. Not to mention a blog who does reviews of prog albums. So I have to choose his progressive rock albums.
The lyrics on this seventy minutes long album is very much preaching and overly so.
The music is pretty progressive and in the same vein as his progressive rock output. That means US symphonic prog with some singer/songwriter influences.
The main opus is good. The best song is the title-track who opens the album and to a certain degrees gives the listener false hope. There is some sub-standard material here before we come to the main opus So Many Roads who fills up the final half an hour of the album.
This is probably the least impressive album he has done for some time. It is still a good album and that says a lot about his level and standards.
Nevertheless..... it is a good album.
