In a few words:

A lot of time has past since I proposed a guitar-oriented album. So, here we have the collaboration of Andy Timmons, Mike Daane (on bass) and Mitch Marine (on drums). Due to his previous experience with Danger Danger, Andy knows how to write catchy melodies and easy to remember songs, even without words. He is a complete musician and songwriter, while the rhythm section successfully supports every guitar note. Similar guitarists that I can think of are Stevie Vai and Joe Satriani - but don't be confused, Andy has his own style, which is quite emotional and with good guitar phrasing. The band's technique is beyond criticism, and it serves the compositions - not the opposite. There is a lot of variety in the songs, from hard rock/metal instrumentals to more jazzy songs, which expanding the listener's attention.
