I'm a big fan of Satriani, Via, and a host of other guitar slingers, but I'm really impressed by the power, intensity, and accuracy of this group. I can't wait til The Deric Rush Band starts to do some touring, because I'll be front-row-center!Deric's broad talent's really shine with this album, and he picked some extremely talented folks to rock out with him. ANY guitar wanna-be will appreciate this album......The only way to listen to this album is at a volume of 11, so sit back, and enjoy the ride!
