I had the pleasure of seeing the tour supporting this album, both in California and in Arizona. To criticize based on the album cover is ridiculous and ignorant. Obviously, well rehersed but with the proper balance of improvisation, assured me that Al has not lost a step. I first saw him as a teenager in the early time of his stint with RTF. Thanks Mr. Di Meola for providing a large part of the soundtrack of my life!
True to the spirit of a great musician and writer

I think this album has a lot of expectations placed on it, as though Al has somehow not been putting out great music all these years. The notion of his “return” to electric guitar is just kind of silly, about as silly as criticizing him for the cover photo.
On to the music: this album is fantastic on many levels. The production itself is crisp and clean - definitely not overpowering. My feeling, as a longtime fan of Al’s, is that this album continues a pattern of excellence for him, especially on the writing front. Thus far, “Babylon” and “Monsters” are highlights for me, as I continue to explore this fantastic recording.
I recommend you put your notion of guitar and technique to the side when you listen to this. While there is a lot of that here, it’s all there to serve the music — which is something Al has progressively been mastering from “Land of the Midnight Sun” till now. This album is awesome.

I supported the making of this album through "one of those sites", funny to see it arrive on iTunes before I’ve received my signed copy lol!

I've been waiting for Al's return to the electric guitar and after a few listens I'm not disappointed.
