Title: A mess
Review: Seems like views are mixed on this 'snake release, and for me, this is one big dud. I liked the old bluesy 'snake, but the album "Whitesnake", with John Sykes playing some absolutely storming guitar, and great drumming from Aynsley Dunbar set a new bar.This album is a horrible mess. Many of the songs that others seem to like (Judgement Day, Sailing Ships) are incredibly poor. They are a musically all over the place veering between styles. Vai's playing is completely out of character with most of the songs. For me, I prefer the dumb, but at least "straight ahead" songs like "Kitten's got claws" on this album.You don'y need to get this album unless a) you are a Steve Vai fan, and don't mind that his playing is disconnected from the song playing, or b) your just want to complete your Coverdale collection. For people new to David Coverdale -- start at Deep Purple's "Burn" and progress from there.
