"it's kind of fun to listen to this. Guaranteed to starch the eyebrows of classical music buffs. But when she opens her mouth....

this is one Kat that you wished stayed in the bag. I really give it 2 1/2 stars because of her wretched singing. Thank the devil a lot of the songs are instrumentals. Her web page cracks me up. It's so 80s."

"Great Kat (Katherine Thomas) has on occasions been brutally slaughtered by critics, because of her very high thoughts of herself. I think this is unfair. (But people with low self-esteem tend to get irritated at people who think well of themselves.)

Beethoven On Speed is actually a good album, regardless of whether Kat is the Beethoven of the 20th century or not. Her guitar skills are good even if somewhat overrated, not only by herself. Although as fast as Yngwie Malmsteen and Vinnie Moore, she doesn't hit the notes quite as accurately.

But nevermind, this is a fun (but short - 30 mins) record. And you have to give Kat some credit for doing something original. Where most metal guitarists just seem to be clones of others, she's actually doing her own thing. Classical pieces at hyper-speed!"
