I've listened to this album quite a few times now. The depth to the composition is incredible, and seems to be a combination of the first and second albums, which focused on technicality and melodies, respectively, but not on variety. The playing is immensely technical, but with great melodies, and there is much more variety on this album (it's not all shredding!).
4.0/5 - Great instrumental album. Third time seems to be the charm.
