 Good grief, this is hideous !! Nov 03, 2009
After the wretched Real Illusions, I have to say I listened to this CD with a degree of trepidation. That trepidation was borne out....
Unfortunately, Steve Vai has forgotten how to write riffs, forgotten how to write tunes and has lost track of what ROCK music is about .... visceral rhythm that drills to your very core, and makes your body move like a harmonic to the notes .....
I accept that Vai has written some fantastic music, but it is not until "Die to live" on this album, track 9, that we get anything approaching a piece of music on this album .. the first 8 tracks are nothing but fretboard masturbation; constant noodling, whammy bar sonic effects and annoying guitar "sound effects".
This CD is completely devoid of soul, and pretty much devoid of anything approaching rock music.
I will not be revisiting someone who, in the good old days, produced classic rock tracks like Hina (DLR), and albums like Passion and Warfare

 The Insanely Talented Steve Vai Thrives Live ! Sep 29, 2009
This sterling live Steve Vai CD is utterly amazing. Vai is literally a dynamic freak of nature with his large, muscular hands and fingers being in paramount control of his array of guitars. Vai is arguably the most innately talented guitarist in history. His fretboard prowess and use of effects enable him to create a galaxy of spellbinding tones and sounds ranging from bombastic to tearful. "Where The Wild Things Are" is replete with eclectic Steve Vai classics including the emotive "Tender Surrender", "Angel Food", "Treasure Island" and riveting versions of "Freak Show Excess", "Firewall" and "Building The Church". In person, Steve Vai has a mystical aura. He's a beekeeper, a strict vegetarian and a very spiritual man. It's not surprising because the Creator bestowed him with an exorbitant amount of talent evidenced by his magical guitar virtuosity and sheer energy. Buy this live CD if you like guitar mastery. Vai's also joined by an array of brilliant musicians who wonderfuly enhance the optimal quality and grandeur of his exquisite riffs and songs.
