David Zaffiro completely abandoned the Bloodgood sound for a Joe Satriani with vocals sound. I was somewhat disappointed by this album when I first bought it many years ago, but have grown to like it over the years.

This cd is severly mellow in comparison to anything Bloodgood has put out, or even the last two Zaffiro solo discs. David was clearly trying to reach the adult-radio-rock market with this album, which really did not impress me at all. What I do like alot are the three Satriani-like instrumentals. "Attitude" in particular sounds like something off Satriani's "Not of This Earth." I would have loved to have heard a whole album of this kind of stuff. The rest of the album is like mellow Winger. It's just not my thing.
