The songs are fantastic and fun - it's so easy for me to listen to this album on repeat. And the album cover is so great. The pun on the title just makes me chuckle every time I look at it. I really wish I could buy a physical copy of your other albums as well!

I start this song every time I am doing Super sets in my home gym. I end up with a pool of sweat and my a melted face from the bad ass riffs that rip through my home from this Master Guitarist.
