The 31th album from this artist from USA.
Neal Morse did the drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
He got some help from a handful of guests who added narration, keyboards, guitars and vocals.
This is part 2 of this series about Joseph. Joseph from the Bible.
Neal Morse is using these two albums to merge his take on symphonic prog and the Bible. Which is fair enough as there is so many other bands who are and were deep into Tolkien etc etc etc.
Part 1 was a good album where Neal Morse were threading water and repeating himself. It was an album of stagnation. Hence, I did not have much hope that Neal Morse would move on and into more unchartered water on part 2.
I am mostly right here. This seventy-five minutes long album brings us some new music. Nevertheless, the soundscape is more or less the same. It is a rock opera with narrations and vocals on the top of some big, bold and epic US symphonic prog.
He is delivering music to his fans and music the fans would like to hear. He is threading water.
This is still a good album and I rate Neal Morse as one of the best progressive artists on our planet. This is an enjoyable album and a step up from part 1. So much that this is indeed a very good album.
3.5 points
