Rating: A milestone in music in general, created in 1986. An absolute masterpiece, conceived by two geniuses of the six strings, Jason Becker and Marty Friedman. Simply SENSATIONAL!
With this and countless other various adjectives, we can define "Speed Metal Symphony." A work crafted upon the six strings, with fantastic virtuosity!
The superb technique of the two makes the album chock full of melody, speed, imagination, and technique. An incredible technique that, in those years, completely overwhelmed the musical world.
At just 18 years old, Becker made himself known to the entire world with an album that combines metal and fantasy! The guitars reign supreme throughout the album, exalting the genius and superb talent of the Friedman/Becker duo. One of the greatest pairs of guitarists ever to exist.
Seventeen years after the album's release, no one has managed to do what they did: share melodic virtuosity with an extreme genre like heavy-speed metal. The two magicians of the six strings showcase all their class in this work, especially in the arrangements, exchanging incredible melodies and solos!
In the melodies, Marty and Jason seem to have a dialogue, engaging in a musical "relay race": on one side, Becker's neoclassical style, on the other, Friedman's classic metal style.
The speed, the rage, the power, and the typical guitar taste of heavy metal are all encapsulated in this musical jewel! Songs like the instrumental "Concerto" and the title-track, or the wonderful "Where My Fortune Lies," are unrepeatable masterpieces!
But it would be a disgrace to only name these pieces. The whole CD is fantastic. True guitar enthusiasts will revel after listening to it (those who haven't done so yet should do it immediately!!).
Ignore if Peter Marino's voice is a real disaster (may God spare us from it...). O'Shea and Anur, respectively on bass and drums, manage to keep up with the acrobatic guitarists quite well, adding that extra touch of power.
The album must be listened to EXCLUSIVELY for the fantastic guitar executions, which should not allow any other sound a chance! Two men, two musicians, two geniuses. Becker, who, after being struck by Lou Gehrig's disease, continues to write music from a wheelchair, and Friedman, who has given us so many emotions with Megadeth and continues to do so solo. Extremely unmissable.

02 Where My Fortune Lies (04:33)
Took a chance, broken dice.
Paid my cards, ought to be twice.
Get the land, overcare.
Waiting till the day I win.
Over left play the game.
The out control is a shame.
Chorus:
When the danger is in tonight.
and the world is passing by
till my fortune really lies
on the line.
And my quest for seems right.
Taking all the risk inside
till my fortune really lies
on the line.
Got to win, it’s my turn.
yesterdays are bridges burnt.
Spin the wheel, once again.
Never quit, till I win.
Still I’m searching every day,
and I know it all the way.
Repeat chorus
Well, this is my fortune.
05 Burn the Ground (06:51)
He is the master of the ultimate empire
He set a nation a victim of his fire
They hold a secret in their hand
And he will ascend a power command
Burn the ground,
He walkes on
Burn the ground
He was screening from a violent combination
he brought destruction and massive termination
Now here's a second chance for you
But will you live, to see him thrill
Burn the ground,
He walkes on
Burn the ground
Burn the ground,
He walkes on
Burn the ground
He is the master of the ultimate empire
And now a nation is a victim of his fire
They hold a secret in their hand
And he will ascend a power command
Burn the ground,
He walkes on
Burn the ground
06 Desert Island (06:25)
So much unmatched noise.
I wanna spend my life at the beach.
I’m getting tired of daily shouting.
City is so [… to me?]
I wanna a desert island,
you really love the city.
I’ll put a message in a bottle,
that’s all you’ll hear from me.
It’s a time to lose your nerve,
get my head strange.
If a don’t leave this city,
I think I’m going insane.
I wanna a desert island,
In the midle of the sea.
I’ll put a message in a bottle,
that’s all you’ll hear from me.
Desert island, oh, in the sand.
Desert island, oh, in the heat.
I want some real sunshine.
Couldn’t see I’m crying out.
Break the wall as you [… down?]
and listen to my […]
I wanna a desert island,
you really love the city.
I’ll put a message in a bottle,
that’s all you’ll hear from me.
Desert island, oh, in the sand.
Desert island, oh, in the heat.
In the sand, in the light
