Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his prolific streak of highly technical, spiritually-driven releases, the former Spock's Beard frontman delivers another grand symphonic rock statement. Featuring regular collaborators Mike Portnoy and Randy George, alongside phenomenal guest guitar work from Paul Gilbert, the album balances concise, hook-driven rock tracks with sprawling, multi-part progressive epics. It reliably showcases Morse's undeniable mastery of complex arrangements and uplifting, faith-based lyricism.
