WIll not say much other than if one really likes the quality and overall energy inducing mode of Vai's other works, this one might be a bit disappointing...that is, if that's what one is looking for. I've listened to it a few times..but nothing about it is particularly catchy right off the bat or even after a few tries. Will keep listening though, since it's in the rotating multi-CD changer ...from time to time. So far, I rated a miss.
