FIRE GARDEN

This album is half excellent and half very average. The first half of the cd is brilliant. Pretty much instrumental, it contains some of Vai's most progressive moments. The second half, however, could easily be done without, as it is wierd vocal tracks, some of which have an almost grunge feel : P I basically listen to it and when it gets to track 10 I stop it and put something else on. Outstanding tracks include: 'There's A Fire In The House', 'The Crying Machine', 'Dyin' Day', 'Hand On Heart', 'Bangkok', and 'Fire Garden Suite'. A worthy addition for Steve Vai fans, for anyone else, probably give it a miss.
