Shredguy Records is providing us with yet
another top-notch guitar oriented release. This is definitely not your ordinary
shredding metal album. Besides the orchestrated and quite interesting intro,
just check out songs like D.T.O.C., the groovy and detuned Hercules Box, the
almost Journey sounding Coming Up Roses and Ruth Ann, and of course Sean’s
interpretation if Stevie Wonder’s Sir Duke, actually featuring horns. To be
honest, the latter is my least favorite on the album. I really like the song
to begin with, and I think Sean could’ve done something more exciting with it,
plus the horns sound quite disconnected from the song at times. It could be the
mix, where this song doesn’t sound as good as the rest. A minor flaw, though. Of
course all shredding fans with get their ears full. The track Shrapnel In Your
Ear presents, besides the outstanding Sean Baker himself, shredding colleagues
Marc Rizzo, Toby Knapp and Bruce Bouillet. A slice of shredding heaven indeed! Despite
being a guitar album, there are two vocal tracks: The grindingly heavy
Necessary Evils featuring Racer X man Jeff Martin and the soft Spooky handled
by Ronny Munroe. Another Shredguy release to check out!
