It's a new one by shred master Paul Gilbert, one which perpetuates what its predecessor offered- fuzz laden guitar attack. There are no Mr. Big or Racer X fanfare here so if you wish for a shred 101 reference, it's not that kind of album. This is the current Paul Gilbert who revels in that single note enjoyment with no hurry whatsoever so it's no surprise that the songs here are mostly blues-based. There are some insane finger works in songs where you least expected them to be so that leaves fans of the great Paul Gilbert fulfilled somewhat. There is only a single vocal track here (thank goodness!) & we know how it is with Paul Gilbert when it comes to singing; it's not his forte but he made it work to his strength.
