Re: New Steve Vai! "Gravity Storm" from the forthcoming album "The Story of Light".
I dig it. It has most of the things I really like about Vai. It's a little crazy, but not too crazy, just the Vai crazy the made me like him in the first place. I look forward to getting the full album! It's definitely no "tattoo" .
AFAIK this is just a stand alone album. Stripped down from the last few releases. Originally intended to be like "ALS", it evolved a bit past that, but there still aren't a ton of overdubs. (EDIT) That said, I don't have the full story, and it may be part of the trilogy, but I doubt it.

Gees what the hell was that?!
I hope nothing more in the album sounds like that.
I really thought about a fly locked inside of somebody's intestines trying to get out!

i'm with you on that one...maybe there is some unique styling, trickery or complexity in the playing but...really? no matter how complex it is...if it's sounds like crap, then i guess it's crap!
this is the second album with the theme from the first album.
am hoping for less singing on this album. wish he would just release a straight solo album.

I don't really care for this too much. I've never really liked his tracks which feature alot of dissonance. Hopefully there's more melodic tracks on the rest of the album.

I didn't like that either...at first I thought there was something wrong with the playback speed... I was excited to hear that there's something new from steve and I appreciate the fact that he was trying something different with that track but I did not like it all
Re: New Steve Vai! "Gravity Storm" from the forthcoming album "The Story of Light".
meh. I don't like where he throws that whammy in. sounds like he's trying to channel Joe Bonamassa . I would like to here more of the new stuff though.
I think it'll be more of the same old stuff he's been doing for years. Like Satriani, he has settled into his style, and I dont see him deviating much from it.
I'd certainly prefer a more rock album... I am over hearing those appalling keyboards backing every song. If not for Vai's playing, it sounds almost like that awful royalty free filler the low budget TV shows use as background music.

I think ill feel the same way with this about satches worm hole wizard, i like it alot but it isnt something id like to play, i dont think itll be as inspiring as past albums or PG or other artists new albums.
