The strange duos personality really isn't on this record, it could have been anyone.

The only real reason it stands out is the quality of the guitar solos. Randell, Baxter and Dias all produce some great runs on the fret board.
Pretty much a "tl;dr" version of the review. It's schizophrenic (****, I swear to Clean Willie I wanted to say that IN THE REVIEW but then forgot about it) but there's great guitar work on nearly every song.
