"At first I was very disappointed in this album. I did what I tell myself never to do, which is make assumptions about what I am going to here. I love Scott's bass playing, he's probably one of the best bassists in the last 20 years. But if that's what you're looking for here you won't enjoy TunnelVision Brilliance. So once I realized I wasn't going to be pounding my fist to an incredible thumping bass record, I sat down and gave it an honest listen. What I found is an amazing record from a talented singer, songwriter, and all-around VERY capable musician. No, it's not "Kyuss heavy" in any way. Most of the songs are very laid back, and very elegantly crafted. Not that it doesn't have it's harder moments. Songs like "Thanks", "The Fourth", and my personal favorite "Diamond" are all amazing. If you truly enjoy Scott as a bass player, put aside all preconceptions and give this album a listen. You shouldn't be disappointed."
