I listened to it from beginning to end. I have to admit I never developed my taste beyond the Bebop Jazz guitar. It's my bread and butter. So this album was like venturing into unknown territory. Is this album suppose to be amazing? or is it just so-so? or is it some guy trying to bring Ornette Coleman to acoustic guitar? ... I don't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was my first time hearing this album. A few tracks down the pike I start to notice that I couldn't distinguish one song from another. The technique was so similar throughout the album. There was not much variety from song to song. It was like all a variation of a theme. When the album was over there wasn't anything noteworthy I could remember about it. I didn't think 'oh wow, track five he's really on fire,' cause track five sounded like the rest of the album. It was like one humongous song arbitrarily broken up into song segments every few minutes. The whole thing was just some guy noodling guitar.

It was OK as I was listening to it. So I'll rate it a "like."
