Spock's Beard

Musical Group

American progressive rock band formed by brothers Neal and Alan Morse in 1992, known for symphonic neo-progressive works including Snow and V.

Neal Morse was the band's primary composer and left in 2002 to pursue a solo career; Nick D'Virgilio subsequently led vocals for a period; Ted Leonard became vocalist later (featured on Brief Nocturnes and following albums). Ryo Okumoto (keyboards), Dave Meros (bass) and Alan Morse (guitar) are long-serving members; the band continued producing studio and live albums after lineup changes.

DeBaser reviews praise Spock's Beard's symphonic neo-progressive roots and landmark Neal Morse-era albums (Snow, V, The Light). Later-era work (post-2002) is noted for stylistic shifts, melodic focus and solid new singers (Nick D'Virgilio, then Ted Leonard). Reviews highlight strong keyboards (Ryo Okumoto), prominent bass (Dave Meros) and a band able to evolve while keeping a progressive identity.

For:Progressive rock fans, listeners of symphonic/neo-progressive music, followers of Neal Morse and modern prog

 The Light (the third highlight of the album, along with The Ballet Of The Impact and At The End Of The Day), the best way to close this hour and a half journey in pure music.

 How much we miss the personality of Neal Morse, how much we miss it! And among the gems he has given us with Spock's Beard, one cannot help but mention the extraordinary "V" from 2000.

 For me, I repeat, it's their best album, because it has the right punch, it's pleasant to listen to all the way through, without faltering, without wanting to skip any part.
