Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! Anomaly fucking rocks!!!! This is so unlike Ace, song writing-wise & guitar playing-wise. And that's a good thing. His playing and writing sound contemporary and relevant. It's so easy for an artist that's been around as long as he has been to just resort to his bag of tricks that got him here. The songs are full of hooks and tasty licks. Some pretty amazing leads on his part. Wow.

Sheesh! 20 fucking years between releases! It just boggles the mind that it's been that long. But because of the long wait in between releases, his band line up would of course change. The only person returning here along with Ace is Anton Fig on drums. John Regan is MIA on bass, replaced by Anthony Esposito.

A Little Below The Angels cracks me up. Only Ace can get away with writing a song like this. And I absolutely love it.  Quite possibly the MVP of the album for originality. The song reminds me of Dolls in a way. Sister kicks major fucking ass with an incredible riff and groove. This song much be played as loud as possible. Fractured Quantum continues his instrumental tradition. The melody within the song is hard to shake once you hear it. It will stay with you for awhile. :)

Fave Songs: Fox On The Run, Genghis Khan, A Little Below The Angels, Sister and Fractured Quantum

Album cover is pretty cool. I like it. As far as I know, there were no videos released in support of the album, which sucks as there are a couple of songs that need one.

Rating: 5 Stars out of 5
