Once upon a time, I taped a song from a university radio station that I thought was amazing. Then, 5 or 6 years later, I bought "Alien Love Secrets" by Steve Vai and I noticed that one brief burst of speed on the song "Juice" sounded just like that song I taped so long ago. I thought "whatever." At any rate, I was blown away by A.L.S. and decided to buy another Steve Vai album. That was "Passion and Warfare" and, lo and behold, "Erotic Nightmares" was the song I had taped many years before. I was ecstatic! The rest of the album blew me away, even more so than A.L.S. "Erotic Nightmares" is one of the coolest, most impressive guitar songs anyone will ever hear! "Answers" has many cool sounds and effects in it that sets it apart from many Vai songs. "Ballerina 12/24" is a prime example of how crisp all of Steve's recordings are and how great a producer he is. "For the Love of God" is a nice, thoughtful number that ranks up there with some of Steve's friend Joe Satriani's ballads. "The Audience is Listening" is an uber-guitar number that should be used as the blueprints on how to become a guitar-god. "Sisters" is another softer number and...I could go on about this album, but believe me when I say, this is an amazing album that deserves a prominent place in any guitar fan's collection.Read full review
This, in my opinion, is Steve's break out album. Don't get me wrong, his previous albums are fantastic but this one has that huge full rock stadium feel to it.From the anthem like "Liberty" to the funky gritty "The Animal" to the poppy "I Would Love To" to the iconic fan favorite "For The Love of God", this album is LARGE & LOUD!!! This is also a great example of how Steve explores the different "dimentions" of a song, so sometimes you get 2, 3, maybe 4 songs in a single song. And of course you get the signature controled chaos finishing touches that only he can deliver, which I call "Steve-afied Vai-izems". A great kick ass HUGE SOUND album so get it and ENJOY!!!
i love steve vai. he a great influence on my guitar playing and life. this is one of his best albums. probably the best. so many songs that provoke deep emotion from the listener. i love this item and am not dissapointed.
A very awesome CD. I like that it has little to no vocals at all. It's electric guitar at Steve Vai's best. Very talented guitarist, very good CD. Buy it. You won't regret it.
Steve Vai is a creative, think-outside-the-box electric guitarist. This is an excellent example of creative talent taking metal rock to a very creative level.
