Ummm... well, Nuno's a killer guitarist, for sure, but this album sounds an awful lot like a Paul Gilbert album minus the guitar. I think Nuno is trying to be a songwriter here, which is fine, but I wanted a guitar album. There are no instrumentals and no real solos. Maybe you'll like the songs; I thought they were lame, but I'm no expert on lyrical quality. I can say that musically they're nothing special. And come on Nuno, where's the guitar?!?
