Feel Euphoria is the seventh studio album by the American progressive rock band Spock's Beard . It was the first album after singer and songwriter Neal Morse left . As a successor no new singer was hired, instead the drummer and percussionist Nick D'Virgilio took over the lead vocals and partly the songwriting and carried out these roles until his departure (2011). He wrote two songs on Feel Euphoria . He is involved as an author on three other songs.

reception
Michael Rensen from Rock Hard awards 8.5 out of 10 possible points for the album in issue 194 and describes the album as sometimes brave and very varied and praises D'Virgilio's singing. He mainly compares the successful music to the early Genesis and still comes to the conclusion that the band suffered from the departure of Neal Morse. He concludes: "The beard still sounds unmistakably like the beard and even if it no longer has its former splendor, it is still miles away from having to be shaved off."
