I love this!
You've come up with some really cool and fun melodies here. This is very different from the last tune i heard from you and thats what i love about listening to your music, lots of surprises. I never know what to expect.
This is just so full of life and happiness. It really makes me smile.
I have to listen to it again now.
Awesome work Michael!!! :D

Fantastic cool and oustanding work Capitan!!! :D
Very clever the "camouflage" of the 3/4 indeed, but more than this, a great tune with excellent arrangement. Loved the guitar soli, the Squier Bullet is still a "sparkling" one in your hands!! :)
Very very good my friend, gratulate! :)

Excellent...I was some way into the song before I realized it was 3/4, I was so caught up with the music and the excitement of the track. Top notch work :)

Wow what a ride!!! Explosive guitar-works...hoppin' drums... Energetic mix and top shelf production. Great camouflage of the ¾ timing. Awesome!!! Enjoyed. Great song pix too.

Well disguised 3/4 in a very cool rocker. This one has a little Born-to-be-wild-feeling and lots of singing guitars that keep it running along with that macho motorbike. Great stuff, Michael :)

Love the intro and how the bike exhaust melds with the drum track -cool bike but ditch the ape hangers for some drag bars and stretch that baby out! Cool guitars and bad az guitar tone. I hear the Allman Bros in there as well. Nice Michael.

Oh yeah, this one has got some cojones right outta the gate. Really swings too, a comfortable looseness that's so together. What a ride!

Well have to admit this is the last thing I would expect from a waltz. LOL Risky is moving along. Like it all and 3/4 is a nice change of pace and this proves that you can still rock out. Nice work Michael.

Risky is a great sounding song from the cool guitar tones to the chopper sounds and to do this as a waltz...wow...Frank Zappa coolness!

OK. Sometimes we hear comparisons. This sounds to me like The Almond Brothers if they turned prog. Great stuff Amico!!

This is a real Rock Waltz. I like the rough sound here (like young dogs). The waltz could continue forever.
Great job, Michael!

This was quite a ride! An invigorating waltz I would call it :) Excellent guitar work - rhythm and leads - and that bike sounds hot too :D
Spectacular album. It sounds as fun to make as it is to listen to.
