I found this album at a record store for about fifty cents. I wasn't expecting much out of it when I got home to listen to it since all I had to go on was a picture of some guy holding a guitar on the back of the sleeve. I have to say, I was extremely surprised. I know it's saying a lot, but I put this guy up there with Malmsteen. He is an exceptional guitarist and much recommended if you enjoy classical-type metal guitarists like Malmsteen. There are no vocals so the listener is treated to a musical tour-de-force of one crazy metal ride. Blindlingly fast finger-picking and melodic harmonies abound. Please check this guy out if you get a chance. Very cool
