 WOW!!
If anybody thought they would loose a step w/ Neal leaving, forget it! this is a great disc!! Songs are a little shorter and alittle more straight up R&R. You won't be dissapointed... later

 How do you like my new beard?
Wow, is this really Spock's Beard? What a difference! The Beard boys are suddenly more metallic, angry guitar,percussion forward mix, and a lot more angst. Still getting used to Neil being gone, and the somwhat shallower aproach. I think I like it but will need to listen a little bit longer to make a final decision.

 The beard never ceases to amaze
Great album. Good to see these guys keeping up the good work after Neal Morse left the band. I found this album quite different from SB and anything I've heard recently. Nick's done a wonderful job taking charge of vocals and I felt the band has done such a great effort to keep the amazing music we have enjoyed through all these years. Keep up the good work guys. Long live the beard

 It says Spock's Beard on the cover ... but is it?
I found out about Spock's Beard at the time they had put out the "V" album. Though that album was very good it didn't match the variety and musicianship of "Day for Night". Now that Neil Morse has left, it was up to the remaining band members to either become a new band or remain Spock's Beard. They chose the latter and it doing so are found lacking in achieving the heights of previous efforts. This is not to say that the album is without merits. Songs such as "Shining Star", "East od Eden" and "Carry On" are very good compositions but I find them trying to "imitate" old Spock's Beard as well as other bands such as Yes and Pink Floyd. Had they decided to release this album under a different band name, it would make for a solid freshman effort but as a Spock's Beard album, I find it lacking lyrically and musically. If you want a more fulfilling prog experience check out "The Unknown" by Conspiracy, "Tug of War" by Enchant, "In Absentia" by Porcupine Tree or "Impossible Figures" by Magellan.

 IMPRESSED!
Spock's Beard has proven to be musical warriors! It's evident that music is the inspiration, not the voice. With Neal's departure, Nick does a great job to fill in a void that many thought was not possible. Also, you can sense that the band seems liberated, music flows freely, and you can witness all elements from all members. Good job, fellas....Spock's Beard is always alive in the Caribbean!
