Martone has got all the taste of Steve Vai, none of the campy, overwrought arrogance of Joe
Satriani, some languid and beautiful Eric Johnson moments,and just enough of the weird of
Buckethead without cloning any of those aforementioned gurus of shred. All the tracks on
the album exhibit a strong knowledge of style, form, a specific and unique music vision,
and enough compositional presence of mind to know that form, structure and progression in a
song are more important than unrestrained instrumental dick-offery that tends to be the
downfall of solo guitarists. That being said, the man can play the shit out of his
instrument, and his solos have just enough psychotic, diminished ridiculous curbed by a
good knowledge of harmony. In the end, probably one of my favorite virtuoso releases on
the guitar in a long time.
