4 stars So Mr. Morse finally made it in PA's top 100 of all time. With this very release that is. Does that make Questionmark his best effort so far ?

Personally I don't think so, I believe Sola Scriptura is the best example of magnum opus by him. But I must admit there are several terrific moments on here. But all in all I feel the whole thing is less spectacular and outstanding than his superb effort from two years later. Then again: are the two albums actually too different from each other ? Hardly I truly believe. Like I said: Sola Scriptura is just a bit better, hard to explain in detail; it's more like an overall feeling listening to both albums.

And this gut feeling simply tells me Sola was convincing enough to go for the full five where this output just misses out. It's somewhere between 4,25 and 4,5 to me. My highlights are In the Fire and 12 which are both truly outstanding but the rest doesn't reach this extremely high level and therefore I will have to settle for four this time. Neal Morse fans shouldn't miss this but that's almost kicking in an open door, right ?
