    [marked PROMO] Not a bad post-VH release from Roth, with a stellar band backing him. "The Bottom Line" plus all of side B sounds very Van Halen-esque, IMO, a good thing.

    The guitars sound amazing on this release, huge and beautifully executed. Vai brings it. Sheehan does not get to shine as much as he did on EEAS, but is killin it.

    This pressing sounds good, very detailed and super punchy, full range, and clean vinyl between tracks.
