It's not Beard without Neal Morse. I thought the album had some good songs, poppish, but well performed. They should have changed the name. We've covered this before, but the second album will really show their metal.

I've got 'Snow' and 'Euphoria'.The latter wins by 2 falls and a submission. However I don't have any earlier SB albums.'Beardies' apparently rate 'V' very highly in the scheme of things. editID>richardh38078.614849537

I've got V, Day for Night, Snow and Euphoria. I've also got some bits and pieces off the others. I felt Neal Morse was pretty consistent, pure poetry or Dennis DeYoung (Stynx) crappola. ha ha ha.

Feel Euphoria has some good moments and gets some airplay in my home though it would be i

Well It存 sad that Neal left The Beard and even more so that he has been " Born Again " or something. I never thought it would happen to him, oh well another hero bites the dust.

Euphoria will pass by as a non-important album by Spock's Beard, in particular to hardcore progfans, like me. The Kindness of Strangers is my favourite, and yes, Flow is brilliant!!

IAs for Testimony, Morse fan that I am. I just cannot get into this album. Maybe due to me being an athiest I dont know. Musically it has some great songs, but the lyrics, especially on disc 2 are just to preachy for me. I hardl

[QUOTE=Stormcrow]  However though a christian I can listen to their music without going into spasms, apparently unlike some non-christians listening to lyricists espousing Christianity.

In fact I rather like the band despite their lyrics being in
