Well said, Bob.
Lyrics are a bonus. "Would you like to see the Pope at the end of a rope" (although the song containing that lyric is religious in nature) carries the same weight to me as "I love Jesus".
Anyway, isn't it more "spiritual"? I'd rather listen to that then someone telling me "God bless the USA" or even "Love the one you're with". Fake morality is even worse than forced religion.
About Sola Scriptura. I have played it twice and twice on the show (one repeat). I find it a step down from "?" and "One", but that's a hard duo to compare to. They were outstanding efforts. Sola is heavier in spots (almost metal) and since Neal puts out so many records, I think he needs a songwriting break.
In total, it's a really good effort, especially the first two songs (well that's 45 minutes itself lol).
