I have to disagree with the other review. I found this CD to be absolutely incredible. In fact I really prefer it to the new Steve Vai CD (even though I like that one too). But I really identify with the songwriting on this as much as his great bass playing. The songs are hot, the lyrics are hot, the playing is so hot - it's on fire!!!! (So Toss it on the Flame!) Billy's voice is his own and I think it totally fits the tunes. I loved the CD "Compression" so much I gave out copies for Christmas that year. Now he has equally matched the first CD with "Cosmic Troubadour" which is even a step broader and wider than the first CD. The intstrumentals sometimes sound like prog - which I love. A Million Tears Ago (bonus track) is a masterpiece. All in all, a great step in a great direction. I am now looking forward to a new Niacin CD!

This CD is great. Every song is fantastic and a bit different genre, but still a cohesive work. His bass playing really stands out on this CD. I think that Billy's solo stuff is really unique and does not sound like anyone else, just like his bass playing. He is true master.
I like his singing, he can sing.
I also loved Compression, but this one takes it a step further. He really cuts loose on this. If you want to hear what Billy is all about, ignore the bad review, buy this CD!
Mudbuckers rule! Praise the woofer!

I prefer this album to his Compression. Not that Compression was not good, but this album is that much better. His songs sound alot more thought out and his instrumentals are actual songs and not just solos, which i think sounds great for Mr Sheehan. Defintly buy this album if you are a Billy Sheehan Fan!
