"For all of those that want to treat themselves to some mind-blowing, ass-kicking, take-no-prisoners guitar shred, look no further. Mr. Stump is the apotheosis of instrumental guitar genius, brilliantly fusing classical and heavy metal music together into one dynamic package. This priceless anothology runs the gamut from some of his best tracks, to his uncompromising live performances. I guarantee you WILL NOT be disappointed at all when you purchase this album-prepare to be catapulted to dizzying heights of awe and rapture from the sheer genius and velocity of Stump's compositions. If I had to describe Stump's style in a proverbial nutshell, I would opine that it is the musical equivalent to Malmsteen, to about the 100th power, cranked all the way up to hyper-speed. By the way Malmsteen, step aside, brother-it's time to make room for the new metal guitar god (this man's music blows anything Malmsteen has ever done out of the water)! HAIL STUMP!"
