I like them well enough at times, but they're inconsistent. Half of V is greatness, but the 30 minute track is a pompous mess, with occasional brilliant moments but mostly tripe. The same story goes for most of their albums - you get the good and the bad. The good is really, really good, and the bad is, well, really, really bad. Just listen to the last track off "Kindness of Strangers" to know what I mean. Truly spectacular intro and outro, but that middle section needs to be thrown out, especially the chorus. Ouch!
I haven't heard anything post Neal Morse.
Beware of Darkness is probably their best IMO. The Doorway is a beautiful track.
