"Kikoski's band is so good that it is impossible for them to make a bad album, but I was dissapointed by the studio mixing of the sound. The bass is WAY too loud, to the point where you can't even make out the bass notes. It's annoying and boomy, especially when listened to in a car, because it shakes the speakers and drowns out the melody. I cannot fathom how they missed this obvious flaw when they mastered it. It's a shame because there is some great playing here...."
