"I had the distinct privelidge of witnessing the awesome power of The Eric Gales Band back in the Fall of '93 in a nightclub called Rockefeller's in Houston Texas. It was During their tour for this Album. I had never heard of them before at all and one of my buddies I was there with made the comment that Gales was only 18 years old at the time. An all black band finally hit the stage sporting two bandmates(brothers) who played left handed guitar. I was right next to the stage so I was able to see every note that was played and their sound system was flawless. There were many famous faces there that night after the last "101 KLOL Anual Rock'N'Roll Auction" for needy Children so I wasn't the only serious musician who was blown away by Gales and his band. I recommend this album to any one who really loves to hear an excellent mixture of power, speed and R&B; not to mention some of the most soulful lyrics and vocals that you will most certainly find emotionally stirring.

"While his bands' debut gave them a lot to live up to, The power trio, Eric Gales Band proved more than able to follow up their stunning first LP. "Paralyzed" is a highlight of this assured sophomore set, but the real gem here is a great cover version of The Beatles "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" that doesn't just copy the original, but injects some real blues and fright into an already terrifying classic. A Job Well Done."
