5.0 out of 5 stars Beard's Finest, September 30, 2008

This is Spock Beard's masterpiece. Also, one of the best prog rock albums ever. Consider it their "Close to the Edge" if you will. A must in anyone's collection.

Spock's Beard is incredible. Take your favorite progressive rock bands from the 70's and 80's (mine are Moody Blues, Yes, Mike Oldfield, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Alan Parsons, Pink Floyd. . .), roll them into one, and you'll get Spock's Beard. These guys are what progressive rock was meant to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEARD AT THEIR BEST!, September 9, 2010

By 

DiscConnected (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: V (Audio CD)

This was, in my opinion, the best of the Neal Morse years. "At The End Of The Day" is a prog classic, that I rank right up with Utopia's "Communion With The Sun." It's accessible to non-prog fans with it's hooks and melodies, but has all the elements that a prog-snob craves, like a running time of sixteen and a half minutes.

"The Great Nothing" is nothing short of epic, at at whopping twenty-seven minutes. And "All On A Sunday" was a nice little gem that in another world would have been a radio single.

V is their fifth studio album (go figure)and the lyrics offer a bit of a peek into Neal's future plans to embark on a solo career, seeming to have more of a spiritual context than prior releases.

If you own the original release, I still felt the reissue was worth buying for the demo track (and I prefer a CD in a jewel case for travel).

The album is really that good. A must-own for prog fans.
