Morse. Neal - The Grand Experiment (2015)

The 21st album from this artist from USA.

Neal Morse did the guitars, keyboards and vocals.

He had help in a band constellation from a quarter who did drums, percussion, bass, bodhran, keyboards, clarinet, guitars and vocals.

Another trio added strings, saxophone and programming.

Neal Morse is an artist who released and release progressive rock albums, singer/songwriter albums and gospel praise albums. I am bypassing the praise albums and most of the singer/songwriter albums as I am only finding his progressive albums worthy of this blog's attention.

His progressive rock albums is mostly very good to great and there is a lot of them. This ex Spock's Beard and now Transatlantic member is one of the alltime greats in the prog rock scene.

The Grand Experiement sees Neal Morse embracing the US symphonic prog genre again. A genre he himself has been instrumental in developing.

The twenty-seven minutes long Alive Again is very good with some very good hooks and melodies. The rest of the album is not that great and there is a couple of cringe worthy moments on this album.

The overall quality is good through and this is another Neal Morse album worth checking out.
