Fuck yes, Jeff Loomis!

Holy Cow!
I love "Cashmere Shiv".
This song is a novel, he's telling a story. I love it man, I tell you I dig this tune. Yep, I see a 7 string in my future.

I'll burn it to disk in few and throw in the car and enjoy it while in the car as well.

Good call I should do that too. I've had the same Whitesnake CD in my car for a month or 2, it's about time for a change!

I like "Race Against Disaster" best so far. The beginning kicks ass.

Download is done.
I've already listened to the first few tunes and I have to say...

I have picked up on the most critical part.
Number one and the only one:
The most important..."Heart". I feel a soulful pulse, in each song so far that I've listened to. Yes there are parts that I may not like as well as compared to others on this album so far. Even so, I feel a pulse coming through on nearly every tune so far.

Most players like this are void that critical component and lose it as they become more advanced and technically proficient. Yes as would be obvious, there is alot of wanking but I connected because I detected a soulful pulse coming through.
I don't have to say anymore because thats all that matters to me when listening to and trying out a new player. If they have no soulful pulse/feel its a no go.
If they have a soulful pulse/feel its a go. This album for me so far, is a go.

So far my favorite is "Aure Haze." A great piece.

I'll burn it to disk in few and throw in the car and enjoy it while in the car as well.

Fuck...Excuse me while I go hang myself.

Fuck it, I'm going to DL the album, this anticipation and hearing about it not being good is killing me. I'll buy it when it comes out D=

C'mon dude, it's just my opinion. You might love it for all you know!

I've listened to the first 3 tracks so far, sounds better than Nevermore to me.

[Jacksons Shred]

I'd say it sounds like Perpetual Burn at places, but mostly because he used Becker-like licks and vibrato thingies, not because it's as good an album as Perpetual Burn

I had really high expectations for this album..I was actually convinced It would get near Perpetual Burn.

Well I'm currently downloading it at a ridiculous rate. I should be listening to it in a few minutes.

[Jacksons Shred]

Yeah it's really lackluster and dull, IMO. Nothing really new or innovative, just some shredding. I haven't found any substance in it.

Fuuuuuuck! That really blows, is it just a wank fest like something Rusty Cooley would do? =(

Soap, I'd stick to Nevermore, cuz this album sucks / is going to suck pretty badly.

Its being downloaded as we speak.
I'll share my honest view and since I'm not partial to him it will be on honest view.

Jeff Loomis?
I don't know anything about him.
I've heard of Nevermore before but they had back then a cookie monster singer and I couldn't stomach the vocals, and because of that I dissmissed everything else. Like I said, thats been a long time ago things may be different today as far as lead vocals are conerned.

So, I do a Jeff Loomis youtube search and come back with this.
Yep, I'll have to do some seeking out for more Loomis stuff.
The clip is self evident, he's definitely got skills without question.
Does he have anything out thats a instrumental project?
If so, if you would please point me in that direction.
I like what I'm hearing, but I could use some more cow bell.
