2 stars This album left me totally cold. There was nothing new or original that Neal has not churned out over the last few years although Testimony was/still is his best solo album IMHO. I was happy to ignore the religious lyrics as to me all lyrics are second to how the music moves you and despite having an array of talent available on this new album, it is simply going through the motions. I think Morse has hit a brick wall as far as his creativity and there are only so many songs that you can churn out the same riffs, melodies and time signatures. It all sounds tired and cliched now and I think he needs to take a look at where he is going. Should he decided to continue the path then I think he will begin to turn some fans away - including me. Like the new Spocks album which is frankly awful, when compared to their peak with Morse on board, Neal without the other members of SB is equally struggling for creativity. No amount of devotion to God and Jesus can disguise weak compositions and a lack of the standard set by Neal in the past.
