I'm listening right now, it sounds like two EVHs trying out free improv. I'll let you know if this is a good or a bad thing when I'm done with it (I generally am not a fan of EVH).

Sure, it's pretty easy to define on paper. But due to it's eclecticism it's often even harder to pinpoint than other genres.

Not my favourite drone record by far, but it's still pretty good.

Finished with Part One. It got off to a rocky start but I think it's pretty good.

I don't have a greater point. That's part of my charm.

Speaking of Rush, here's an unpopular opinion:

Presto and Hold Your Fire are two of their best albums.
