What you’re referring to is probably The Great Kat, or a Malmsteen in a skirt. In fact, Vai was the first to start a certain discourse with the guitar, and he is, therefore, unintentionally the founding father of the genre, even though he has somewhat distanced himself from it in his later works. I don’t think Morse can be considered an extreme shredder, but rather one from the old guard, straddling between Gary Moore and Van Halen. Despite his great technique, he plays more for the band (as in the case of the Dixie Dregs) than to please lovers of virtuosity.

To the anonymous user: there’s no doubt that the attitude of those musicians/exhibitionists who compete in speed contests is deplorable. However, even extreme genres like shred have given rise to phenomenal, unmatched musicians: besides Steve Vai, from a certain perspective the founding father of the genre, let me remind you of Greg Howe, an unparalleled guitarist in technique who is also capable of creating real songs, or Richie Kotzen, not to mention the sacred monsters of fusion like Allan Holdsworth and Scott Henderson. Each of these gentlemen can do whatever they want with their instrument, but it’s hard to say that they are merely exhibitionists.

Well, in my opinion, an album that already has two great songs deserves more than 1, maybe not 5, but 1 is too humiliating.

As a confirmation that masterpieces are rare. I'm not a nostalgic type, and therefore, aware of the difficulties in creating new ones, I appreciated this album. Moreover, compared to the output of other pseudorock bands, it stands out significantly because it reminds us that if we are the best, it's also because our illustrious peers fail to do better. Anyway, the song The miracle has melodies unreachable by the vast majority of bands, and I want it all is perhaps the best hard rock track written since Hold the line by Toto. If this seems like little to you...

Allow me to disagree. This album contains at least 3 - 4 tracks that would later become classics of the band. Also, it doesn't seem to me that Queen ever turned their back on easily accessible pop rock. Of course, there are no songs on this record that match the caliber of Bohemian Rhapsody or We Are the Champions, but we must also consider that it is not always possible to create masterpieces. As I often love to repeat, a great band does not consistently produce masterpieces because that’s impossible, but they accompany them with a series of good albums that, while they may not cause miracles, still demonstrate class and quality.

To find out the track titles of the album, you can easily go to the artist's website or Amazon. A review is something else altogether.

Good review, especially in analyzing the highs and lows that characterize this album.

Well, I didn't keep my promise and listened to some samples. Listen to me, this cannot be taken seriously nor can time be wasted reviewing one of his albums. He probably chose the most difficult vocals (those of Mercury) and the most complex scores (the Theater) just to "miss" as much as possible and to burst out laughing among the daring listeners. I'm convinced that deep down he’s laughing his head off reading the judgments that come pouring down on him like lead weights. Even the way he rants strengthens my belief that he is quite the joker, much more than Richard Benson. In short, I don't think it's worth dedicating that much attention to him.

I haven't listened to and I won't listen to Sandalo's mp3s, but I want to make a consideration: probably our guy won't have the vocal range of a Mercury, nor the technical skills to tackle the songs of Dream Theater, however, you can't deny him a certain degree of cleverness. Artists much better than him might never manage to have their own website, let alone a review of their work on de baser or other specialized sites, and that's because talent doesn't always pay off, in fact, almost never. However, if it's not possible to help these hidden talents, I think something can be done to stop the latest Lecciso at its source: don't talk about it. If old sayings mean anything, then the best disdain is indifference... Your review's outburst, which is certainly legitimate, will probably only pique curiosity and increase Sandalo's popularity.

If everything is free... Well, maybe he just wants to have fun and make others have fun. Often, the less you know how to do, the better it is... The very fact that he published two reviews and has various websites talking about the aforementioned vocalist/guitarist shows how good Sandalo has reached his goal: getting people to talk about him. As that comedy sketch used to say: I don’t do anything, but I do it well...
