V is the fifth studio album of progressive rock band Spock's Beard.

The release of V also produced a CD single, this time promoting the track "All on a Sunday". The track itself was re-recorded in 2001 and is slightly different from the album track. Also on the single is an unreleased song called "The Truth", and the music video for "All on a Sunday".

This album is available as a limited edition as well, which contains a 32-page booklet that includes an interview with the band and a personal fact-sheet on all the band members, as well as a multimedia track showing the band in the studio.

Similarities to Symphony X's V

There is some remarkable similarity with the cover of this album and the cover of Symphony X's album V: The New Mythology Suite. The latter is also the fifth album of the respective band and was released later in the same year. Both bands perform progressive music and both are signed to InsideOut Music. Also, both albums are nearly as long (their lengths differ by 18 seconds).
