"Thank you for reading my post.

I can not believe this cd has almost NO reviews. This is one of the best intrumental albums of all time. If you ever wondered what Van Halen would sound instrumentally than this album is it. From start to finish this cd is a "smash the dash board - Van Halensque - adrenaline pumping - guitar action." During my first listens to this cd, would play it over and over from start to finish. Can listen to it anytime and not get tired of it. The first 4 songs are just one of the best Michael Angelo solo songs ever. This cd is a masterpiece and proves in my mind that there is no doubt that Mike Batio is the fastest shredder in the planet. Wait till you listen to these 3 best songs which are "take a look around", "avalance", & "stop complaing" those three songs alone are worth it. It is just a shame that this album is not getting the recognition such as from a "passion & warfare", "population override", and or a "surfing with the alien" type of recognition. Do yourseld a huge favor and go buy, borrow, or STEAL this cd NOW!! you will not regret it.

"Another brilliant album from the master of shred guitar, Michael Angelo Batio. This cd goes off into unexplored territory, the tracks are structured much differently than than his other work. He focuses less on pushing the limit of technical mastery and more on creating a unique world of surreal sound with many layers in his compositions. It is beyond description, something you just have to hear for yourself. The effect results in a completely different feel to the music. In my opinion, no other guitarist is on the level of Michael Angelo, he is a true virtuoso. If you are a fan of guitarists such as Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, and Steve Vai, you will be very impressed."

Michael keeps getting better.....

"This is Mike's fourth solo album so far, this time he joined forces with drummer Rob Ross to create an shredding masterpiece (with vocals), a vivid example that shred's beauty also combines taste and feeling, as always his scarying fast solos are there, along with well structured melodies and solid song constructions. Some of the songs might sound a little van halen-ish but in general this is quite a good performance."
