I also love X, really think it falls under the radar, every song there is great. From The Darkness and Jaws of Heaven are such kickass songs especially. Nick and the band finally pulled it all together to deliver something great from that lineup.

I've only really listened to Snow in its entirety, but I do have the 20 years compilation and that is really good.

Hm. Went with Kindness, but on another day it could be V or Beware of Darkness. I also really like Feel Euphoria. Yeah. I SAID IT. IT'S GOOD. And good in a prog way. At least, Crossover Prog. If the band changed names after Neal left, I think they'd be considered Crossover, even with the Leonard area. It would fit overall.

Either Crossover Prog or Eclectic Prog. They left Symphonic Prog when Neal quit the band and maybe that's the reason there's fewer followers of Spock's Beard these days. Pity because they're such a great band. People are missing out.

Have to go with The Light.
It was a breath of fresh air when it was released.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

V.....by far their best...At The End of the Day and The Great Nothing are the two best epics they have ever done.

V was very special indeed - but Snow raised the bar even more for me. So sad when Neal’s departure stopped them touring it

X, the album that was trashed for sounding too much like old prog.

Brief Nocturnes is great. A true 'return to form' for them but also really strong songs

The Light is a killer album too. What a debut!

I have to vote for X. To me, Spock's biggest weakness is usually their lyrics, and X is by far their strongest album.

I love X. Great record. The record before it, the self titled one has some really strong songs on it too.

LOL I can remember defending Feel Euphoria to some haters when it came out. I really liked it. However, I listened to it again recently and my opinion has changed. I don't think it's very good. I know they were trying to find their footing after Neal left. It REALLY shows and not in a good way.

The Oblivion Particle would have been a great title for a concept album but it's just a bunch of unrelated songs. You can't name an album something like that and have it not be a concept album
