Title: More Typical Shred-Fest
Product review: It's hard to understand the enthusiasm that I've seen so far of this album by the reviewers here. They must all be hardcore fans who have followed Vinnie Moore since the 80's. I still have Mind's Eye and Time Odyssey as benchmarks for what neo-classical is (as well as Yngwie's Rising Force and MacAlpine's Maximum Security). This album is just your typical neo-classical fusion fare with mega amount of chops, bland melodies, and PERCEIVED feelings or emotions based on individual taste. I, for one, do not hear anything really worthwhile here. Vinnie Moore might have as much or even more speed and physical chops than Vai or Satriani, but certainly not in the brain or in the heart.
