Feel Euphoria is the seventh studio album by Americanprogressive rock band Spock's Beard released on July 8, 2003. It was the first album the band recorded following the departure of vocalist/songwriter Neal Morse, also the first full-length album to feature drummer Nick D'Virgilio as lead vocalist. It marked the beginning of a more band-oriented era of songwriting, as before Neal Morse had written the bulk of the band's material, now all of the remaining band members wrote for the band, including bass player Dave Meros, who picked up his first songwriting credit in the history of the band (other than full-group credits) on the song "Ghosts of Autumn".
Tracks 7 through 12 comprise the suite "A Guy Named Sid".
With the departure of Morse, a change in sound was noted by many critics. Sea of Tranquility reported, "Two, maybe three, tracks are almost unrecognizable as Spock's Beard songs",[4] and Sputnik Music said Morse's departure drastically affected the band's sound due to new way of writing music for the group.[5] Proggnosis reported, "this cd should almost be addressed as an entirely different band, with the same name of course."[6]
