Stump's Best Effort Yet
This one is his best yet, in my opinion. The production is much improved, the compositions are very well thought out, and Joe's playing is as clean as it gets.In the past, Stump may have had a tendency to be somewhat "long-winded," but this album is much more focused, and it seems that there are no more notes than necessary.No, I'm not a rock critic, just a...

Lacks decent production
I liked "End of a Era" best on this one. In general I like Stump's melodic stuff, he is far beyond a lot of the classically influenced shredders. But the production on this album was pretty bad, it was hard to make out the ins and outs of his playing. It got a little frustrating to listen to. I'd sure love to see this guy live. Anyway if you are looking for...

Stump's Best Effort Yet, September 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Rapid Fire Rondo (Audio CD)

Get this one. You'll be glad you did. Then join me in the woodshed.Highlights: Speedball Sonatina, Unrelenting, The Dominance Factor.

Joe Stump, October 10, 2005
This review is from: Rapid Fire Rondo (Audio CD)
His name sounds like one of Bilbo Baggins' friends. This is the only Stump album I've heard so far, but it is insane. I hope all the others are just as good. If you like this you will also like Michael Romeo's "Dark Chapter".

Anyway if you are looking for an intro to Joe Stump I would recommend Guitar Dominance, that was awesome. Just put on "Ultraviolence" and leave it there ;-) I have Night of the Living Shread (NOTLS) as well which I also liked better than this one. YMMV.
