Sound

Probly one of the shreddest CD ever. but nothing you wouldnt expect from the godlike shred duet, Marty Friedman and Jason Becker. in most of the songs you can feel a strong Speed Metal/Thrash Metal Rythm for example in "Savage", that in my opinion really suits the madness of shred that goes on. It might be hard to diggest if you aren't a fan of the this kind of music, sometimes the shred is just to amazingly chaotic (chaotic in a good way)!

Guitar - It's like the big bang, its just amazing the work that those two put on this album, the phrasing, the magic melodies like the beginning on "Ninja", the harmony that you can hear between the guitar its genious, the rythm guitar is also very well build, is simple and effecient.
Drums - Don't understand much of drums, but it seems to me, that it is quite good, it's solid, it follows perfectly Becker/Friedman, Thrash/Metal-Neo-Classic kind of feeling.
Bass - To be honest, the bass is the only think i can't hear very well in the songs. i am not saying that its bad from what i hear it seems good i think it could had been better worked.
Lyrics and Singing:

To be honest i, dislike the vocalist, indeed he have the agressive attitude on his voice that i think it really fits the band but still i think it lack something. The lyrics are a bit meh in my opinion, it remind alot of 80's metal bands lyrics.
Burn the ground
He is the master of the ultimate empire.
He set a nation of victim of his ire.
They hold a secret in their hand
and they will send a power command:
Burn the ground,
He ordered so
Burn the ground
He was cleaning from a nation
he brought destruction and […] termination
Now there's a second chance for you
but will you ear to see [him…]
Ninja
Someone’s red into the race.
They’ve seen behind me,
words so brave.
On the left, where righteous men
and horror meant close to a end.
The characters have changed
from inside my mind.
One less change, one man to live.
Ninja!
Sword made of steel, the ninja in red
destroyed past ten minutes part
some […] to fear
Demons waiting away from the best.
ninja cries out desperately
with a urgency […]
The characters have changed
from inside my mind.
One less change, one man to live.
Ninja!
Overall
7,7
7,7 but the album have epic guitar solos and stuff you may ask. Well yep that's the problem i think this album focus to much the guitar duet and leave the other instruments a little bit to desire. Beside that yep its a good shred album and awesome to work up as guitarist!
