Sola Gratia (Latin for "grace alone"[3]) is the eleventh studio album by American progressive rock vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist Neal Morse, released on September 11, 2020.
[5] Recorded in April 2020, it is a concept album about Paul the Apostle, focusing on the period from his persecution of early Christians[5] to his conversion.
[6] All tracks are written by Neal Morse[2][6]Dangerdog's Craig Hartranft called Sola Gratia "simply signature Neal Morse, offering delightfully intricate and creative melodic progressive rock" and said it is "another compelling and entertaining album of his signature melodic progressive rock.
"[1] Pete Pardo from Sea of Tranquility pointed that the album "is littered with his trademark catchy vocal harmonies, a never ending supply of complex & symphonic musical passages, and an overall sense of bombast" and said it's not hard to appreciate it "whether you subscribe to the concepts that Morse leans towards or not".
[2] Scott Medina from Sonic Perspectives concluded that the album's strengths "lay in its top shelf performances from George, Portnoy and Morse, a healthy dose of quality material, and of course its pristine production thanks once again to Rich Mouser".
