An innovative rock album that is the culmination of the intense creativity of genius guitarist Steve Vai.
This is a work produced by guitarist Steve Vai together with talented musicians such as Devin Townsend. It is a stimulating album that combines virtuoso guitar playing with a heavy band sound, and has deep themes such as religion and sexuality.
Steve Vai boldly expands his musical vision with this album, showcasing a depth of expressiveness that goes beyond mere technique. Devin Townsend's vocals, radiating wild energy, and the powerful rhythms of TM Stevens and Terry Bozzio create a band sound that moves far beyond his previous guitar-driven instrumental style. Tracks addressing unique religious views and human impulses highlight Vai's compositional ability and conceptual prowess. Including the single "In My Dreams With You," this ambitious album showcases a multifaceted appeal, making it one of the most challenging albums of his career.
