Title: Heard It before !
Product review: Steve's new effort has no emotion. His tribute to Frank Zappa is favorable, yet his now infamous #7 track (You know, the one that is supposed to be his most passionate and beautifully played?) reflected a talented man going through the motions. Sorry Steve, this album is full of licks I've heard from you many times before. Oh, by the way, you need to ditch the vocals. Jeff Beck can't sing either, but at least he was smart enough to "shut up and play his guitar". You have the talent to become the greatest guitarist ever, now get to work and take your music forward. If someone wants to hear quality Steve Vai, they should try Passion and Warfare, the first half and last song on the second half of Fire Garden, and Alien Love Secrets.
