This CD is great. Its like a guitar solo as a song a purely great peice of musical talent and a must have for all guitar players.
The starting song "building the Church" is a great opener and makes you want to keep listening and it only gets better as the crunchy guitsr tones meet the more exicting whamy bar action. There is just so much to say about this fantastic CD and the amazing Steve, Like all his music this is no different ,completely original.
I love it as i play guitar and i am truly inspired by Steve and his band but also i like rock music in general and this Album shows some of the best rock music around
Over all this is a 10/10 CD and even if you havent heard Steve Vai before you will still love it. I recieved it as a gift for Christmas after only hearing one of his songs "the audience is listening" and i play this Cd more than any other in my collection.Purely insparational.
Advantages: has a lot of potential, Steve Vai uses many effective and amazing effects Disadvantages: Perhaps not what you would expect from Steve Vai in parts
This album is definately a must have first of all. The album isn't quite beyond words but it is very much amazing. You know instantly as soon as you start listening to this album that a hell of a lot of work has gone into it, but then again what do you expect when it's Steve Vai, one of the most amazing composers of this day. Tracks such as Building the Church which is first on the album are definately things to make you consider buying the album. ... ...One thing about the album which could to some be a downfall but i wouldn't consider it much of one is that on some of Vai's songs on the album his guitar sounds totally different and his playing doesn't quite sound the same in some of the songs.
there are on the other hand songs where his guitar sounds different but the effects of this a exceptionally amazing. in some of the songs on the album such as 'Yai Yai', Vai has made his guitar sound like ...

Album Notes
Personnel: Tony Mcalpine (guitar, keyboards); Dave Weiner (guitar); Billy Sheehan (bass guitar); Jeremy Colson (drums). Steve Vai remains an eclectic rogue in the world of guitar virtuosos. While his staggering chops precede him, Vai is known for favoring artistic, emotional expression over blazing six-string shredding just for its own sake. With an ensemble that includes bassist Billy Sheehan, drummer Jeremy Colson, and percussionist Gregg Bissonette, Vai presents his first new studio work since 1999's THE ULTRA ZONE. REAL ILLUSIONS: REFLECTIONS is the first chapter in a trilogy of concept albums. Vai offers a cryptic outline of a spiritual journey, with a well-balanced combination of all-instrumental and vocal tracks (with Vai himself ably handling singing duties). "Firewall" employs a meaty horn section for a slice of electrified neo-funk. "Lotus Feet" teams Vai with Holland's Metropole Orkest and electric-bass heavyweight Bryan Beller. The overall result is ethereal and lyric in its presentation. Vai's wild imagination runs amok on REAL ILLUSIONS, which entrances listeners with its almost limitless vistas.
