"Of course they're all non stop 80's style shredding from start to finish.Calling Stump an Yngwie clone is inaccurate, silly, & shows a serious lack of knowledge of the genre. If Stump is ripping from anyone it's Blackmore, not Yngwie. I've been playing for over 15 years & have been a shred junkie since the early 80's. I'm well versed in Yngwie & all the other usual suspects of the shred/neoclassical gengres. Stump has his own sound & style that is waaay more blues based than anything Yngwie does. If you like shred you'll love this CD. It rocks from the first track to the last, not a bad song in the bunch. You're tone deaf if you can't hear the emotion & passion in Stump's playing!"

Read well if you do not know JOE STUMP !

"I will try to be short and clear about his "intermezzo"-album: you can hear different kind of feelings in the songs of JOE, and you will find out what him makes standing at 1°place-ranking above other guitarists like; Malmsteen,Satriani,V.Moore,Macalpine and others- for example: Malmsteen has the speed,Satriani has the technique,Moore has the feelings,Macalpine has the rhytm,others make music and try to play. JOE STUMP has it all!!! It takes your breath, makes you thrill, and you do not believe your ears and skin!!!!! This album is not his verry-best, but excellent to meet him! Also buy his other albums: 4°,3°,1° and 2°. Try to find his 3 unofficial other albums too: "GUITAR MASTER" is the best! If you really like excellent-clean (metal)guitar instrumentals with sensitive,speed,incredible technique,good songs, JOE STUMP is your hero!!!"
