 (5 Customer Reviews)
The second release from guitarist Marty Friedman revealed a level of depth and maturity that equally surprised Megadeth and guitar-shred fans everywhere. While his 1988 debut Dragon's Kiss eluded to some of what is heard here, it was essentially just another shred fest. The Eastern influence, which Friedman so embraces, is authenticated here by the excellent production of Kitaro and the dreamy contributions of Kitaro keyboardist Brian BecVar. Most of the selections are taken at a relaxed pace, including "Triumph," which is a reworking of "Thunder March," a Friedman staple. Megadeth drummer Nick Menza appears on a few tracks, but this is mostly an acoustic guitar/keyboard session. The compositions do not stand out as much as they later would on his masterpiece Introduction; rather, the allure here is the dreamy ambience. This recording marked the true arrival of one of the most important and original guitarists to emerge from the neo-classical genre. ~ Robert Taylor

Scenes Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)  Mixture of Western with Estern Music.
This album is realy a great album, I would recommend it a must listen album if you are a Friedman fan or even a Megadeth fan. The album has variation of western thrash sound with eastern melodic sound. This album also shows how Marty has matured as a guitar player.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Terrible composition...
Seriously... this is the most boring album I've ever heard made by a soloist. Trust me, you'll be sleeping by the third track. This has nothing to do against guitarists like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Buckethead or Yngwie Malmsteen... well I can mention hundreds of guitarists that can make better songs. It's slow as it can be, it's like the worst elevator music put in one CD. Even John 5 could make a better album.
Don't get me wrong, Marty Friedman played GREAT on Megadeth, is just that his talent just can't make a good solo record.

The fourth solo release from Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman finds the guitarist mostly repeating the same formula that worked so well on Introduction. This time around, though, there is less emphasis on new age stylings in favor of a more rock-oriented approach. "Rio" is impressive, and the session's best track, "Intoxicated," offers a glimpse of what Friedman sounds like without the metal riffing. ~ Robert Taylor

In the 21st century, metal is full of bands that favor brutality for the sake of brutality -- bands that live for sensory assault and believe that bombast is its own reward. Such bands (which can be found in anything from death metal/black metal to metalcore to alternative metal) have their limitations, but they can be exhilarating if one has a taste for the extreme. Nonetheless, there's still something to be said for more melodic metal bands, and melody is a high priority on Grand Magus' second full-length album, Wolf's Return. This is the type of metal that values musicality, craftsmanship, and nuance as well as forcefulness; if the Swedes were deprived of their amps and forced to ...
