Is it me? Is that a parade snare? The drum seems so weird. 
Ugh, this is so boring. So many bands are already doing this better than these guys on their 3rd offering. And, after this, they gave up the ship and the guitarist joined Megadeth, apparently. And now he writes music and appears in Japanese television shows. He’s really quite something. Largely self taught, apparently, he kicks a lot of ass. 
All of this album is really just resume material for Marty Friedman and, tbh, he’s terrific. But on his instrumental…he can’t hold a candle to Brian May.
