While you've always been a standout guitarist, What I think is most impressive here is just how much your overall composition and songwriting skills have improved over the years. This is some of your most interesting, creative, and cohesive work yet. The blistering runs and mind-bending riffs are all still there, but everything on this record fits together as a whole greater than the sum of its parts. I can't wait to hear what you have for us next.
