5.0 out of 5 stars A little something for everyone, August 19, 2008

Let me start by saying I love Ron. I've been into him since LONG before his G'n'R days. I've been to a couple of his clinics, own all his albums, have pretty much every rare recording of his, etc. HUGE fan. That said, a lot of this album doesn't appeal to me. Sans a few good riffs here and there and some blistering guitar solos, I didn't really start digging the album until about the 2nd half. The notable songs on the album for me right now are: Simple Days (very easy-going tune), Piranha (heaviest song on the disc with great composition and a great solo), Guitars Still Suck (a ridiculously amazing follow-up to Guitars Suck), Green (another easy-going tune), Spaghetti (an instrumental that would've mostly fit perfectly in the movie Pulp Fiction), Misery (if you liked the vibe of his album Uncool, you'll really dig this tune), The Day After (this song has a very ambient feel to it and REALLY reminds me of something I would expect to hear from Buckethead), and Dash (just a solid rock tune with a cool solo).

Basically, exactly half of this album really appeals to me and the other half doesn't. This is what I've become accustomed to with Ron's solo discs, though! Outside of his first few albums, I usually like about half of the music on any given disc. That's why I've given it 5 stars. Even though I don't like the other half, that's not to say it isn't well-written and won't appeal to others. Ron is an amazing talent and regardless of who you are, there's stuff on this album for you. (Unless you're looking for stuff like "Bun B" or "David Allan Coe" or something, lol)

5.0 out of 5 stars Abnormal.. not an ordinary rock album, July 6, 2008

Ok I just got this album today, definitely a pleasant surprise because it has so freaking great tracks. The style is widely diverse from punk,classical,opera,shred,country.. well you name it :). For all these years I've been listening to Ron's music, it's quiet amazing to see how this man always came up with fresh and amazing ideas with his music. To some people probably they know Ron from his blazing licks and never ending smart shred guitar playing, but as a matter of facts, he's more than just guitar god, he's definitely a modern composer that has his own way to express his idealistic and genious music.. I really can't get enough to listen to this amazing CD.. it's so yummy like banana split ice cream and yet spicy like your tasty hot sauce! get it and listen for yourself.. Abnormal definitely a great album .. I consider it as the best one among Bumblefoot's CDs .. yeah.. it's that GREAT! :)
