THE REVIEW
I begin this (First) review of mine by saying that Steve Vai is one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
But I ask you, is it possible that all famous musicians have to be driven by money?
"Sex And Religion" is exactly that. A music album (CD) made just to make money at the peak of one's career. I say this because "Sex And Religion" for me is not a Steve Vai album (Songs with great melodies and stellar solos) because it's made of Continuous screams, overly repeated choruses, and beautiful solos but too short.
I would save from the CD only tracks No. 7 and 8, which are much more in his style. If you like "Steve" (like me) buy this CD only to complete the collection. Rating 2

Summary by Bot
The review regards Steve Vai as a legendary guitarist but criticizes 'Sex and Religion' as a commercial attempt rather than a true artistic work. The album features repetitive choruses and short solos that deviate from Vai's usual style. Only two tracks are recommended for fans, making the album worthwhile only for collectors.

More than Sex and Religion, this album should have been called 'Music And Money'.
I really wanted to throw the CD out of the window, but what mainly stopped me were three instrumental tracks where Steve gives us hope he hasn’t completely lost his mind.

"Touching Tongues is the true absolute masterpiece of Vai’s work."
"The album deserves 3 stars overall, but I give it 4 considering the presence of songs like ‘Touching Tongues’, ‘Rescue Me or Bury Me’, and ‘Still My Bleeding Heart’."
