Whilst the last album had a bit of "Satriani-by-numbers" feel, this is a definite step up for me! Much more varied and with a renewed strong backing back of Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson) on drums and Bryan Beller (The Aristocrats) on bass. Although not breaching his classic sound too much, this album sees Satriani showing a wider variety of influence and sound, and makes for a highly entertaining listen.
