Sola Gratia has kind of come and gone for me, and to be honest, despite there being FIVE releases from Neal this year (Great Adventour, Cover To Cover Anthology/Cov3r To Cov3r, Flying Colors Third Stage, and JCTE Live At Morsefest 2018 being the other four), and SG being the only one of original studio content, I just haven't given it its due.
There have been a SWARM of other new albums since July that I have been digging a bit more. That isn't to say I didn't enjoy SG for the few times I spun it at the beginning of September, but I've been listening to the new Tangent, Gungly, Ayreon, and others a bit more, even though I consider Neal to be one of my favorite artists of all time. I guess in 2020, I am kind of Neal'd out, but I'm sure I'll get back to it in the coming months before TA5 gets released, as I try to get Neal's music back into my listening rotation.
