SOLA SCRIPTURA

This is Neal Morse's best album and a masterpiece of modern prog rock/metal. The two epics "The Door" and "The Conflict" are heavy, coplex, yet melodic with great personal lyrics even though it is a concept album on the life of an old dead dude (Martin Luther). I'd call the style heavy symphonic prog. Neal doesn't refrain from using heavy riffs that will please fans of Dream Theater while also throwing in catchy melodies that are reminiscent of Genesis or Pink Floyd. The story is told in a very fitting, first person perspective that manages to relate to the lives of modern listeners. This is easily one of the best releases in "Christian" music and modern prog rock. Highly recommended for fans of symphonic prog and prog metal!
