   I've got mixed feelings regarding this release. I've enjoyed Thiles solo   
   work for the most part. Some of the cuts have great energy. But some   
   simply fall absolutely flat. Almost depressingly so ... maybe that was   
   the point. If so, then I didn't get it.   
      
   I don't insist on every tune being some fast paced finger fest mind you.   
   But when you slow down to exhibit some soul and emotion, there should be   
   ample of those qualities present. And ... well ... I just didn't hear   
   that.   
      
   Still a worth buy don't get me wrong. The set as a whole is strong. Just   
   be prepared for a couple of tracks that you scratch your head on and zap   
   from your mp3 player.
