"Not to over state things, or in any way be overly dramatic, but Paul Gilbert could very well be the Messiah. You see, musicians of this caliber have never displayed the humility, frivolity and utter ease that characterizes this work. Too often, ego gets in the way. This guy's clearly not trying to prove anything. He's just slamming out some SICK rock and roll, and sounding like he's having a blast doing it. His music sounds so stunningly effortless, yet scarily complicated to us mere mortals. My brain hurts so good when I listen to this record. This is extra special stuff. I will not try to add anything more specific about the record beyond what the other reviewers have so effectively put forth. I will just say that, if you do not wish to have a deficiency in the soundtrack to your life, buy this record. Then buy everything else he's done. This is one of those extraordinary musicians whose work belongs in every music fan's collection, regardless of idiomatic preference. Don't miss out."
