The Nightmare Unravels
First track starts with a little intro that after few seconds blows you away with John’s classical riffs and melodies. Its a very fast stong with lots of pattners, sweeps and awesome tappin’ about the 3/4 before main riff reprising.
The Art of Malice
A triky song starting with awesome Andrés Segovia Asturias (originally written for piano by Isaac Albeniz fastest part turned with magic and clean sounds into a happy country bluegrass song
Ill Will Or Spite
Pumping hi and low the core of your speakers this song is a continuum of unravels nightmares and its all about that Enjoy!
J.W.
Awesome blue grass fast and calm, fast and calm, interrupted and reprising untill the end. If you dunno what the hell Bluegrass is this song such as Sugarfoot Rag (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tECVaGujXA) is what you should have to listen to. Fantastic!
Ya dig?

This track must be used to describe what John 5 can do with its guitar. You can find Vai mixed with crazy Petrucci prog shreds and a great screems from the Satriani’s bending school. Worth of? This song rise up the stick and G3 have to jump the dig now!
Can I live again
It is not a question so no one knows if John wants or not… Introspective song, slows down the beat and starts with acustic riffs coved by electric clean melodies. You can’t find a song like this playin all the John’s 6 albums: Vertigo, Songs for Sanity, The Devil Knows My Name and ofc not over the Remixploitation stuff.
Portrayed As Unremorseful
Back again to metal classics but here there something more: funky influences, up tempo and rock&roll close to 2′:00. You will love it!
Steel Guitar Rag
Second introspective track? Not at all do not get confused, this is another jewel under cover. Its not Sugarfoot Rag, its Steel Guitar Rag and there is not other playin like him on the way…
Wayne County Killer
Up to tempo, fast and fresh at the same time with pumping riffs and nice headbangin’ melody followed by crazy sweeps. Than wait. Funky! He’s John 5 what did you expect?

Fractured Mirror
Cool refrain and calm song. Echoes from the past, repetitive sounds, crescendo till the end. Theres an awesome melody into this songs that leads the listening like a voice but it is fractured. Have you ever listen to a fractured mirror? This is the time!
The S-Lot
We have to ask John what the hell is an S-Lot. Google itself doesn’t understand the meaning of that. Maybe listening to this S-Lot hot song you will understand.
The Last Page Turned
Take a breath now ’cause the perfect album is about to finish -no malice-. Brilliant song! Might remember your the Goo Goo Dools Iris, so there’s nothing better to close a 45′ listening. Thank you John!
