I love the variety on this album, probably greatly helped by the contributions of Eric and Bill. Considering Neal came to the sessions with no preconceived demos, but you can tell he put his stamp on a bunch of the material.
So far, I think I like this album a bit more than the previous two, and it's just as good as TGE, but it may even surpass that.
Of the two epics, I cannot decide which one I like more, but both are really good! Interesting that "Not Afraid Pt. 2" doesn't have movements within the epic, like "Seeds Of Gold", though given the differing lyrical sections, you could definitely make them into individual movements.
